Nonprofit Nation with Julia Campbell

How to Adapt Through Times of Change & Uncertainty with Sabine Gedeon

Julia Campbell Season 2 Episode 218

What does it really mean to lead through change—especially when you're still figuring things out yourself?

This week on Nonprofit Nation, we’re diving into what it takes to navigate organizational change with a growth mindset. My guest is Sabine Gedeon—executive coach, transformational speaker, and host of The Aligned Leader Show podcast. She has 20 years of experience guiding leaders and organizations through critical moments of growth, change, and reinvention.

We talk about the reality behind change—what it feels like to lead in the messy middle, why high-achieving leaders often hide their process, and how vulnerability can become a strategic advantage. Sabine brings a rare mix of emotional intelligence and practical wisdom to this conversation—reminding us that leadership isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about staying open, steady, and self-aware as you grow.

🔍 We explore:

  • How to lead through organizational change even when the outcome is unclear
  • What it looks like to shift from performance to presence in leadership
  • How to reframe setbacks as information, not personal failure
  • The pressure leaders feel to “have it all together”—and how to let go of that
  • What it means to be witnessed in growth, not just the results

Sabine’s insights are especially relevant for nonprofit leaders navigating transition, burnout, or major strategic shifts. Her reflection questions and mindset frameworks offer a grounded way to stay clear and connected—even in seasons of uncertainty.
