What would you do if your intuition told you not to board the flight that could define your career?
In this deeply human episode of MasterStroke: The Leadership Playbook for Real Life, Executive Producer Georgianna Moreland and Host Monica Enand welcome co-host Sejal Pietrzak back to the studio as she shares an astonishing real-life decision that changed not only her life—but her husband’s.
Standing at the gate, moments before scanning her boarding pass for a critical business trip, Sejal’s intuition told her to stop. That instinct led to a life-altering discovery—a medical crisis that might have gone unnoticed had she stepped onto that plane.
Through heartfelt conversation, Georgianna, Monica, and Sejal unpack:
•How instinct and intuition play a vital role in leadership and decision-making.
•Ways to support team members through medical or family emergencies.
•How to create psychologically safe workplaces through empathy and flexibility.
•The leadership lessons that emerge when personal and professional worlds collide.
This is an episode for leaders, founders, executives, and anyone balancing ambition with humanity. It’s a story about listening when it matters most—and leading from the inside out.
