NEW Episode Alert!
Season 4 Episode 5 of the BWNICE Voice podcast is now LIVE!
You can't respond to what you don't see. 👀
Situational awareness isn't just about personal safety. It's about paying attention—to the room, to the people around you, to the signals they're giving you, and even to your own instincts.
On the newest episode of the BW Nice Podcast, host Jennifer Leary sits down with Stephanie Hammond, Branch Vice President at Coldwell Banker Realty, to explore how situational awareness can make us stronger leaders, better communicators, and more confident decision-makers.
With 30+ years of martial arts experience and more than 20 years in adult learning and development, Stephanie brings a unique perspective to the conversation.
Together, they talk about:
✨ Reading the room and recognizing nonverbal cues
✨ The difference between awareness and living in fear
✨ Why trusting your instincts matters
✨ Using breathwork to stay present under pressure
✨ Setting healthy boundaries in business
✨ Creating workplaces where people feel psychologically AND physically safe
✨ Why great leaders need to listen to what's being said—and what's not
And perhaps the simplest takeaway?
Put the phone down. Look up. Pay attention.
Because when we're more aware of the people around us, we're better equipped to make sure everyone feels seen, heard, and included.
