During my keynote presentation, Amputate to Elevate: Transform Uncertainty into Your Greatest Advantage, I ask the audience two simple questions.

“How many of you are living in uncertain times and just want certainty?”

Almost every hand goes up.

Then I ask,
“How many times in your life have you actually been able to predict what’s going to happen next?”

That’s when it gets quiet.

Because the truth is, we never had certainty.

We only had the illusion of it.

That’s why I loved this conversation with Julian Pistone. We didn’t dance around uncertainty. We walked straight into it. Because leaders who elevate don’t avoid uncertainty, they learn how to move inside it.
