An Unexpected Leadership Lesson

from The Real Leadership Podcast · host Chris Obst

In this first episode of Season 5, Chris shares a deeply personal story from a recent trip to Sayulita, Mexico, where an unexpected and tense situation unfolded around him. In the middle of uncertainty and disruption, Chris found himself facing a real test, not of strategy, but of presence. Rather than reacting with fear, he leaned into calm, awareness, and balance. What followed became a powerful reflection on what leadership truly looks like when things don’t go as planned. This episode is about staying grounded in chaos, managing your internal state, and leading yourself first, especially when the environment around you feels anything but stable.
