## Resource

Today, I’m joined by Brad Farris—leadership coach, consultant, and founder of Anchor Advisors. Brad works with business owners and executives to help them grow into new levels of leadership, especially in times of uncertainty and rapid change. In this episode, Brad and I explore what it really means to lead and communicate effectively when you don’t have all the answers. We talk about the power of slowing down to speed up, why great communication starts with listening and presence, and how leaders can create clarity and trust even in uncertain environments. Brad also shares practical strategies around managing your time, creating space to think, and showing up as your “best day self” more consistently. This conversation is packed with actionable insights for leaders who want to communicate more effectively, make better decisions, and lead with greater impact. Let’s dive in.
