You Can’t Out Decide A Misaligned Orientation | Sarah Kernion

What if the most powerful strategy lessons aren’t found in boardrooms but in everyday life at the edge of uncertainty? We sit down with Sarah Kernion, founder of Inch Stones and mother of two non-speaking autistic children, to explore how frontline parenting becomes a masterclass in orientation, sense making, and adaptive leadership. The conversation is candid, challenging, and grounded: you can’t outdecide a misaligned orientation, and quick decisions that endure are the by-product of clarity, not adrenaline. We dig into why “inch stones” beat grand milestones when growth isn’t linear and why accommodations, far from signalling weakness, often expose the exact places a system can get stronger. Sarah shares practical examples, like visual scheduling that helped her children and unexpectedly improved routine for a neurotypical sibling—proof that inclusive design scales value. Together we dissect John Boyd’s OODA, clearing up the myth that it’s about speed. Orientation is not what you see; it’s how you make sense of what you see. Leaders who build cultures of sense making ask better questions, retire dead KPIs, and trade control for clarity—because comfort is optional, but learning is non-negotiable. There’s also a provocative look at neurodiversity as an operational edge. Different brains notice different signals, and in dynamic environments, that diversity of noticing can become a decisive advantage. We talk about echo chambers, identity, and how tactical humility keeps orientation tethered to reality. Expect crisp takeaways: replace fear with strategy, define outcomes before metrics, and anchor decisions in environment, intent, and constraints. When you do, speed emerges naturally, teams act with confidence, and progress compounds—one inch stone at a time. If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a colleague who protects green dashboards, and leave a review with the one assumption you’ll destroy and replace next.
