Description

Are you truly aware of what’s happening around you when you lead?


In today’s episode, we’re diving into situational awareness, one of the most overlooked but powerful leadership skills. You’ll learn how to read the room, sense unspoken dynamics, and lead with clarity and confidence.


Here’s what we cover:




  • Why situational awareness is essential for female Christian leaders




  • How to recognize the “invisible cues” in any meeting or team environment




  • Practical strategies to stay grounded and avoid leadership blind spots




  • How Scripture guides us in discerning wisely before responding




The truth is, leadership moments will test you. But when you pause, notice, and invite God into the moment, you’ll lead from a place of peace and strength.


Reflection:


Pause and reflect on these questions:



  1. Where in your leadership do you need to slow down and “read the room” before responding?

  2. What boundaries or habits could help you be more present and discerning?

  3. How can you invite God into your leadership moments this week?
