Failure is inevitable in leadership. Missed calls, projects that implode, decisions made under pressure that don't land the way you hoped. What determines your credibility, trust, and confidence isn't whether you fail, it's how you recover.

In this episode of Resilient Foundations, we break down the four critical stages of leadership recovery after failure. You'll learn why teams don't expect perfection, how unmanaged emotions and nervous system reactions derail trust, and what intentional recovery actually looks like in action. Whether you're an executive navigating public failure, a business owner carrying the emotional weight of a setback, or a middle manager stuck in cleanup mode, this episode is a guide to rebuild trust, regain momentum, and lead forward with confidence. Failure will happen. Recovery is where leadership is proven.
