About this listen

Every leader eventually faces a moment when the storm hits —
when pressure rises, mistakes come to light, and everyone’s watching to see what you’ll do.

In those moments, the easiest thing to do is protect yourself.
But leadership doesn’t ask for protection.
It asks for presence.

In this episode, Jim Huling shares one of the hardest storms of his career — a moment that tested his courage, integrity, and the quiet voice inside that said, “Step forward.”

This is not a story about success.
It’s a story about choice — and what it means to stand firm when every instinct says to step back.

You’ll learn how:

  • True leadership begins with showing up when it’s hardest.
  • Calm isn’t the absence of fear — it’s the discipline of steadiness.
  • Presence and commitment can rebuild trust faster than perfection ever could.

If you’ve ever felt the weight of leading through crisis — when people look to you for clarity you don’t yet have — this episode is for you.
