In the rush of meetings, pings, deadlines, and distractions, how do leaders hold their ground on what truly matters?

In this episode of The Workplace Chameleon, Dr. Celina Peerman explores what it really means to hold the line—to protect priorities, maintain focus, and lead with clarity when everything feels urgent. You’ll learn why it’s so hard to stay aligned (especially when you're trying to be helpful), how doubt can actually make you a stronger leader, and practical ways to say “not now” without shutting people down. This is the leadership work that builds trust, models boundaries, and creates space for what matters most.

Dr. Celina Peerman is an organizational psychologist, speaker, and author with 30 years of experience helping leaders navigate change, develop stronger teams, and lead with more intention. With humor, heart, and a focus on practical tools, she brings real-world leadership insights to every conversation.
