CEOs keep telling themselves, “once we get through this quarter, things will stabilise.”


The truth is, stability isn’t coming, volatility is the new baseline.


In this solo episode, I explain why most leaders still misunderstand resilience and what it really takes to perform consistently when the world refuses to calm down. I talk about:




  • Why betting on a “return to normal” keeps you reactive and exposed




  • Three common misconceptions about resilience: endurance, heroic personal grit, and reacting after the fact




  • How to embed adaptability into your system with cross-training, pre-mortems and regular stress tests




  • Why recovery is a strategic lever, not a luxury and how practices like recharge weeks actually boost performance




  • How to anchor your leadership in purpose so your people stay focused and engaged through uncertainty




If you’re a CEO or senior executive still hoping the external environment will stabilise, this episode will help you reframe resilience around adaptability, recovery and purpose, the real foundations of performance in a volatile world.
