How to Thrive in Difficult Situations

In this Mike on the Mic episode, I explore what it truly means to lead through adversity. I break down the Stockdale Paradox, a powerful mindset that balances realism with hope, and show how I helped leadership teams apply it in real time during major crises. You’ll walk away with a step-by-step process for guiding your team through difficult times—without losing morale, clarity, or momentum.

Whether you're facing layoffs, market shifts, or internal challenges, this episode gives you the tools to face brutal facts while still believing in your team’s ultimate success. Let’s turn uncertainty into opportunity.
