What to Do When Things Go Wrong (Without Losing Credibility or Confidence)

No matter how skilled or experienced you are, things will go wrong. Projects fall through. Expectations get missed. People behave badly. Or maybe... you mess up.

This episode is your leadership reset for those exact moments. I walk you through five clear steps to handle mistakes, missteps, and uncomfortable situations — without spiraling, avoiding, or doing damage control on your own.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

- Why clarity is your best friend when things go wrong

- The #1 thing to identify before you try to fix anything

- Who you should talk to (and who you shouldn’t) when it’s messy

- How to reset expectations and course correct with confidence

- Why honesty, accountability, and communication will always beat silence

- What to do if you’re the one who got it wrong - and how to lead through it
This is the kind of leadership work that builds trust - not just with your team, but with yourself.
