You’ve built the plan, trained the team, and earned your seat at the table. But what happens when the person leading the charge doesn’t understand the mission? Worse—what if they think they do, and they’re steering you straight into the storm?

Hello everyone and welcome to Episode 194 of the Resilient Journey Podcast, presented by Anesis Consulting Group! This week, we’re doing something different. No guest—just Mark, sharing two real stories from the resilience industry that highlight what happens when subject matter experts are undermined by executives who don’t know what the [bleep] they’re doing. Mark explains that your crisis management plan isn't a GPS - it's a compass. He talks about governance gone wrong, the myth of the perfect crisis plan, and the emotional toll of being dismissed in front of your peers. And we’ll close with practical advice for professionals who find themselves in similar situations—because you’re not alone, and there are ways to navigate it.
