Today, we’re talking about something most leaders underestimate, but EVERY team feels. Before you ever set direction, goals, or expectations, you’re already shaping the environment your team operates in. In this episode, I’m breaking down why your presence matters more than you think, how emotional regulation shows up in real leadership decisions, and what it actually looks like to lead with calm and resolve when things get hard.

💬 “You don’t control the storm — but you absolutely set the weather.” ~Tami

🔑 Key Takeaways:

•  Leadership starts with regulation before direction


•  Your team mirrors your pace, tone, and presence more than your words


•  Unregulated leadership creates invisible chaos and burnout


•  Calm paired with resolve builds trust under pressure


•  Presence matters more than availability

✨ The One Thing You Don’t Want to Miss:

➡️ Why calm alone isn’t enough — and how resolve is what keeps teams steady even when the pressure doesn’t let up.

💪 Challenge if you choose to accept it:

Before your next difficult conversation, pause and ask yourself:

What weather am I about to bring into this room — and is it what my team needs right now?

📝 Journal Prompt for Reflection:

How does my pace, tone, or presence shift when pressure rises — and what impact does that have on my team?
