When You Get Stuck in Data, You Lose Touch with the Future

“Data gives us clarity, but without vision, it can also lead us straight into confusion, fear, and burnout.” In this episode of Business is Human, Rebecca Fleetwood Hession unpacks how the modern workplace obsession with data can quietly disconnect us from purpose, progress, and people. Drawing from neuroscience, scripture, and her years as a coach and consultant, Rebecca explains how a relentless focus on analytics can put our nervous system into overdrive, and shut down the creativity and intuition we desperately need to lead well. Whether you're a manager overwhelmed by spreadsheet demands or a leader asking for one more dashboard to feel in control, Rebecca makes the case for returning to a more faith driven way of decision making. She reminds us that it wasn’t spreadsheets that parted the Red Sea, it was vision, belief, and divine guidance.
