Belief, Trust & Data: Leading Without Falling for the Counterfeit

17 Jul 2025

Description

“Great leadership isn’t about being right, it’s about being open and helpful.” In this episode of Business is Human, Rebecca Fleetwood Hession discusses how belief, trust, and data interact to shape our leadership and why the order in which we use them matters. She explains how belief lives in the thinking brain, trust is felt through the body’s nervous system, and data, while helpful, is incomplete without human connection and context. Rebecca offers a grounded approach to leadership that starts with regulating your own nervous system, questioning what you believe to be true, and using data to invite real conversation instead of reinforcing assumptions.In this episode, you’ll learn:Why trust begins with nervous system regulation, not logicHow unchecked beliefs can become counterfeit truthsWhy data should open the door to conversation, not close itThings to listen for:(00:00) Intro(02:54) Belief: the foundation of leadership(05:05) Trust: the nervous system’s role(07:46) Data: the incomplete story(10:38) Integrating belief, trust, and data(12:35) Practical steps for effective leadership(22:14) Building new patterns and trustConnect with Rebecca:https://www.rebeccafleetwoodhession.com/
