If you’re feeling nervous this morning with the return of Trump to the White House, you’re not alone!

Change often triggers negative feelings because it makes the future feel uncertain. And Trump’s focus on reshoring investment and reducing U.S. corporation tax could pose challenges for Ireland’s tax competitiveness, leading to real concerns for many businesses.

As a champion of change and organisational resilience, here are 3 ways to start addressing a Trump victory:

1)     Recognise what you can and can’t control – We can’t change the outcomes of the election, but we can apply sound risk management and scenario planning understand and mitigate potential impacts on our businesses.

2)     Leverage effective leadership: Navigating uncertainty requires strong leadership. High-performing leaders often demonstrate authenticity, empathy, curiosity, critical thinking, and a commitment to developing others—traits that can inspire stability and growth in times of change.

3)     Seek opportunity amidst disruption: Uncertainty can also be a catalyst for innovation. Consider how to adapt your strategies, explore new markets, or collaborate with partners to turn challenges into opportunities.

My work with leaders navigating transformation has taught me the value of connectivity and (trying!) to keep an open mind during transformational shifts.
