Today we pause to honor those who have served our country. Veterans—and the families who support them—remind us every day what selflessness and courage truly look like. Your sacrifices make it possible for the rest of us to enjoy our freedoms, pursue our dreams, and strive to build communities rooted in compassion and respect.

At Move Mountains, we draw daily inspiration from your service. The way you step up for others, work quietly toward a greater purpose, and show us what real leadership means—these are the values we aim to cultivate and celebrate. We also want to thank the families who’ve stood behind their loved ones in uniform. You are the unsung heroes whose support makes all the difference.

So today, and every day, we say thank you. Not just with words, but with a renewed commitment to making a positive impact and supporting those who serve.

In Uncertainty, Your Presence is More Powerful Than Your Plans

The boardroom fell silent. Months of strategic planning, erased by a market shift nobody anticipated. As eyes searched for answers, what mattered most was not a discarded roadmap—it was how the leader showed up: steady and willing to sit with the unknown.

Here lies the paradox of modern leadership. In a world obsessed with data and plans, the leader’s greatest asset is presence.

WHEN PLANS BECOME PRISON |

Many top executives build their careers around careful planning. Yet, when uncertainty hits, it’s common to see leaders retreat—not physically, but emotionally. They vanish into “planning mode,” searching for solutions instead of engaging, leaving teams to fill in the silence with worry.

But your team doesn’t need all the answers; they need you to show up.

Research—even in critical care environments—shows that senior leader presence, not perfect plans, determines whether a team copes or breaks. When leaders are present, teams feel supported. When leaders disappear, stress intensifies.

THE EMBODIED LEADER |

True presence is active. It’s being grounded and available, especially as circumstances change.

In my work at Move Mountains, the most effective leaders in uncertainty share three things:

1. Stay in their bodies. Mindful leaders notice stress and return to breath and posture. That’s true strategic intelligence.

2. Embrace “I don’t know.” Admitting uncertainty creates space for solutions, rather than shutting them down.

3. Lead with humanity. People need honest, present leaders—not superheroes.

PRESENCE AS A STRATEGY |

Strategic planning is vital, but in the fog of uncertainty, your presence anchors the team and paves the way for meaningful action.

Your steadiness sets the emotional climate. If you’re grounded, your team will be too.

When uncertainty strikes, don’t vanish. Instead:

1. Be visible—walk the floor and check in.

2. Communicate what you know clearly, even if incomplete.

3. Listen deeply—eye contact, patience, real questions.

4. Model adaptability—show that changing course is wise, not weak.

5. Great leaders know presence creates the conditions for effective planning—not the other way around.

Uncertainty is inevitable. The choice is yours: respond with tension or openness, rigid plans or adaptive presence.

Remember, your team isn’t watching for perfect answers: they’re looking for steadiness. Show up. Lead with humanity. Move the mountain—one step at a time.

Ever felt held back by uncertainty? You’re not alone. We all wrestle with that question—“Am I doing the right thing? Am I going to make it?” But what if confident uncertainty is exactly what we need?

In our latest episode of the Move Mountains podcast, we sat down with legendary alpinist Dave Nettle, who shares how embracing uncertainty isn’t about recklessness—it’s about trusting your skills, planning like crazy, and leaning into the unknown with confidence.

Dave’s story is a powerful reminder: You don’t have to have every answer. What matters is believing you can figure it out as you go. (And yes, you still need a killer plan. 😉)

Hit play on this episode if you’ve ever wondered whether you’re on the right path, or if you just want a dose of mountain-sized inspiration from one of the best in the world. 🔥

A little in-flight leadership chat. . . Too often, leaders think culture shifts come from new systems or fancy processes. But here’s the truth: culture doesn’t change overnight—it changes when leaders consistently show up differently, modeling the values they want to see. 🌟

True culture change isn’t about a memo—it’s about momentum.

09/25/2025

Great leaders aren’t defined by how they sidestep challenges—they’re defined by how they lean into them with courage, clarity, and compassion.

Mastering the dialogue means more than just speaking—it’s about listening deeply, asking the right questions, and creating space for growth. When leaders approach hard conversations with purpose and skill, they don’t just resolve conflict—they build trust, inspire action, and shape a future where teams and communities thrive.

At Move Mountains, we believe leadership is forged in the conversations that matter most.

Let’s be clear: blooming where planted isn’t about settling—it’s about alchemy. It’s choosing to turn pressure into purpose, constraints into creativity, and today’s soil into tomorrow’s strength. Roots down. Chin up. Water what you have. Ask for what you need. Keep reaching. The bloom is not proof of perfect conditions; it’s proof of consistent courage. Let’s be clear, you can bloom where you are planted.

When growth outruns communication, even great teams get tangled—priorities blur, trust frays, and ex*****on slows. Our spiderweb challenge forces leaders to pause, align, and move with intention, turning constraints into creativity and teammates into lifelines. This is how resilient cultures are built: one clear call, one lifted teammate, one courageous choice at a time.

LEADERSHIP LESSON: Andy Jassy’s journey as Amazon’s CEO is proof that a shift in decision-making can transform an entire organization. When Jassy took the helm, he faced the challenge of slow decisions costing billions, with Amazon bogged down by analysis and layers of approval. Drawing on innovative decision frameworks and executive coaching, Jassy empowered his leaders to make rapid, reversible choices and introduced focused meetings and true delegation.

Soon, projects that dragged on for weeks were launched in days, unlocking new AI initiatives and supercharging team engagement. In just four years, Amazon’s revenue soared by $230 billion—all sparked by a commitment to fast, confident decisions.

At Move Mountains, these results are our passion. Through executive coaching, team retreats, and leadership development, we help executives and organizations break free from hesitation, solve their toughest problems, and build cultures grounded in confident, agile decision-making.

Today we honor the heroes who ran toward danger and the families forever changed by unimaginable loss. The pain of 9/11 is etched into our hearts, but so is the memory of what came after—a moment when differences faded and we stood as one people, one nation, united beneath the same flag.

This day is a reminder that true leadership means bringing people together—not just after adversity, but before it ever strikes. We all carry unique beliefs, backgrounds, and rituals, but when we choose empathy and unity, we become stronger together. In remembrance, let us grieve, reflect, and remember: UNITY is our greatest strength.

In times of uncertainty, leaders often search for complex solutions. But the truth is simple:
Clarity is your competitive advantage.

When crisis strikes, the leaders who thrive are not the ones with the most resources, but the ones who cut through the noise and create focus.

Here’s the challenge:
1. Can your team articulate your top 3 priorities right now—without hesitation?
2. Do your people know what not to focus on when everything feels urgent?
3. Are you making decisions that simplify the path forward, or add more layers of complexity?

Clarity isn’t about knowing every answer—it’s about eliminating the distractions that stall momentum. The CEOs and executives who create clarity not only lead better in crisis, they build teams that stay aligned when the pressure is off.

"Stepping into a room full of leaders made me realize something profound: we're all in the same boat, facing the same challenges. Shedding self-doubt isn't just empowering—it's essential for leading effectively." So True.
