297. The Secret to Calm Leadership Under Pressure, a Quick Conversation with Tod Bolsinger and Markus Watson

Learn how mastering your anxiety with simple, God-given tools like deep breathing can transform your leadership in the moments that matter most.

Tod Bolsinger and Markus Watson discuss this quote from Audrey Davidheiser in Ep. 284, How to Respond Thoughtfully Instead of Reacting:

"If you feel anxious or rushed or concerned or fearful, deep breaths. Because taking deep breaths from the belly is just a natural way that God has instilled in our brain, that it just kind of resets the nervous system and it allows ourselves to come back up online."

THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:

• Leaders reset their nervous system by taking deep, belly breaths when feeling anxious or stressed.
• Leaders make wiser decisions when they calm themselves before responding to difficult situations.
• Leaders enhance their effectiveness by admitting their own anxiety instead of denying it.
• Leaders move from reactive anger to thoughtful action by recognizing when they are emotionally “activated.”
• Leaders cultivate calm as a leadership skill to better focus on their mission and serve others.
