Calm, Soul-Driven Leadership with Sean B. Jones

Episode notes

Sean B. Jones—former psychotherapist and COO of a global healthcare firm, now founder of Food Dynamics and What's in the Bowl—joins Claire Hayek for a grounded conversation about courage, perspective, and leading with heart. Sean shares how war zones and 9/11 shaped his calm-under-fire mindset, and why today’s leaders must learn to respond rather than react. Claire adds neuroscience insights on cortisol, the vagus nerve, and brain-based decision-making under stress. They dive into mock-crisis training, emotional triggers, and what it really takes to lead teams through disruption.
