In this brief follow-up episode, Dr. Lee returns to a question leaders have been asking since her recent Forbes Business Council article on Thinking Deeply: How do you actually embody depth when timelines are tight, pressure is high, and consequences are real?

This episode offers a practical path forward.

Here Dr. Lee shares a simple six-question guide designed to help leaders stay steady, strengthen decision quality, and protect trust before disruption creates costly repair.

If you are leading through uncertainty, this is a short, usable resource you can bring into your next meeting, decision, or moment of strain.

What if the season that feels stuck is trying to teach you something essential?

In this episode of the Achieve Intentional Transformation Podcast, Dr. Leonie H. Mattison explores Harvest Wisdom, the second stitch of the T.H.R.E.A.D. System™. This conversation is for leaders navigating disruption that hasn’t resolved when plans shift, clarity fades, and moving forward feels uncertain.

Rather than rushing to recover or escape discomfort, this episode invites you to pause and retrieve the wisdom embedded in disruption itself. Drawing on leadership experience and the Sankofa principle, go back and fetch what matters, Dr. Mattison reframes disruption as unfinished material seeking integration, not something to outrun.

You’ll learn five practical practices to: • Name what has truly changed • Identify where disruption presses on your identity or values • Recognize patterns under pressure • Re-anchor to your core standard • Take values-aligned action

Why do some people grow through disruption and experience intentional transformation, while others stay stuck in cycles of pain and survival?

In this episode of the Achieve Intentional Transformation Podcast, Dr. Leonie H. Mattison invites you into an honest conversation about those moments when life tilts. Drawing from her own experiences of disruption, she walks through this work with you, so you don’t feel like you’re carrying this season alone.

You’ll explore the first stitch in the T.H.R.E.A.D. System™: Think Deeply and discover why your brain and body react the way they do under pressure during trauma, burnout, loss, unemployment, illness, leadership changes, and quiet identity shifts.

Dr. Lee gently guides you through reflective prompts to help you:

• Name the season you’re really in

• Acknowledge where disruption is touching your life (work, family, health, faith, identity)

• Separate what happened from what you’re afraid it means about you

• Begin to describe the leader you’re becoming on the other side of this season

If you’ve been asking, “Who am I now, and how do I move forward?” this episode will help you slow down, feel seen, and think deeply about your life from a place of compassion, clarity, and intentional growth.
