Strong Leaders Serve with Teri Schmidt
For compassionate leaders who've quietly outgrown what used to work.
You're not in leadership for the title. You're in it to use your strengths to make a way for others to use theirs.
You've stopped waiting for a certainty that was never going to arrive. Now you're ready to lead with clarity and confidence, right in the middle of the uncertainty.
This show is for you if you're looking to:
✅ Find your footing again, instead of just pushing through the overwhelm
✅ Turn the people who follow you into leaders in their own right
✅ Lead in a way that sustains you, not one that wears you down
Hosted by Teri Schmidt, Executive Leadership Coach & CEO of Strong Leaders Serve.
Each episode supports leaders navigating the shift into roles where success isn't just about their own performance anymore. It's about leading through complexity, ambiguity, and stakes their old playbook never had to handle.
We name what's actually happening underneath the overwhelm, and find a way back to steady leadership, without pretending there's a five-step fix.

149. Leadership Decision-Making in Uncertain Times with Olena Petrosyuk
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Decision-making is one of the most difficult jobs of a leader, especially in uncertain times.
In this episode, our guest, Olena Petrosyuk, shares her unique experiences, journey, and insights into the difficult decisions she's wrestled with throughout her career, in both the corporate world and her current role as COO at Klevu.
We discuss the constraints of decision-making, the importance of listening to one's intuition, the weight that each decision carries, particularly when other people's lives are at stake, and the essential aspect of having a defined North Star. Her story is fascinating and offers actionable guidance for making decisions as a leader in uncertain times.
