In this episode, Cristin Candice unpacks what it means to lead when everything around you feels uncertain; when you don’t have control over timelines, decisions, or outcomes. Drawing on her own experience as a federal employee navigating the government shutdown, Cristin explores how leadership in uncertainty begins with self-leadership: grounding yourself, managing your mindset, and creating a sense of stability for yourself and others, even when external systems are shaky.

This conversation blends personal reflection and coaching insights for leaders who are holding space for others while the ground beneath them keeps shifting.
