abotaging your ability to lead under pressure? For so many women leaders, the weight of expectation in a crisis leads to the "Indecision Trap," a debilitating cycle of overthinking and paralysis precisely when clear, decisive action is needed most. In this episode of The Leader Within Podcast, Sue-Anne Higgins dismantles the myth of the all-knowing leader. You'll discover why the pressure to be perfect doesn't make you a better leader; it makes you a bottleneck. Drawing on powerful brain science, Sue-Anne explains what’s happening neurologically during an "amygdala hijack" and why your prefrontal cortex—the "Goldilocks of your brain"—goes offline in high-stress situations. This episode is your guide to building an "Emergency Leadership Toolkit," a personalized neurological reset system for maintaining poise and grace when you don't have perfect information. You'll learn to escape the Try Harder Traps of Leadership and shift from analysis paralysis to purposeful action.   Key Takeaway: Poise under pressure isn't about having perfect information. It's about having a reliable process to make good decisions and maintain team confidence while navigating uncertainty. Ready to lead with unshakeable poise?
