🎯 From TikTok Follower @ErikaLove’s Request

Reality Testing is leadership’s truth serum — it keeps you honest with yourself and fair with others. In this bonus episode of Leadership Lessons with Dr. Fredrick Lee II, we dive deep into one of the most underused — yet most powerful — Emotional Intelligence skills.

Why Reality Testing is the difference between reacting to the story in your head and responding to the facts in front of you.
The risks leaders face when they skip this skill (and how credibility gets lost).
How to integrate Self-Awareness, Impulse Control, Empathy, and Problem-Solving to strengthen your Reality Testing.
A proven 5-step process to slow down snap judgments, separate fact from fiction, and make clear, credible decisions — even under pressure.

💡 This episode isn’t just theory — each step is designed to be a 90-second, actionable leadership shift you can apply immediately. Whether you lead a small team or an entire organization, Reality Testing will help you manage bias, navigate conflict, and build trust.
