Humans tend to crave certainty. In the face of the unknown, we rely on prescriptions and narratives to help us feel better and make sense of what we can’t yet see coming.

For many, sitting with uncertainty like what we are facing now, post-election in the United States, is deeply unsettling and even destabilizing. They brace for what might come next, anxious and ruminating, and looking for answers.

It’s a natural human response, but it can also leave us stuck in a loop that offers no comfort, only more fear and anxiety.

People will look to the leaders around them for comfort and for answers. And while you may not be able to provide the definitive answers anyone seeks, you can help those you lead and love feel supported and grounded as we all navigate these difficult times.

Today, I’m sharing strategies, practices, and thoughts that can help us move through uncertainty, for ourselves and the ones we love and lead.

Listen to the full episode to hear:

  • How and why to establish “certainty anchors” for those you lead
  • Why an honest, compassionate presence is more beneficial than pretending you have all the answers
  • Why we need to balance courage and comfort, and the fine line between caring and caretaking
  • Why finding grounding routines is essential, no matter how small or scrappy or imperfect
  • How claiming your personal power and agency will help you feel less stuck
  • How we build trust and resilience in our relationships amidst uncertainty
