  • Great podcast and ….

    Love the topics, speakers and questions you ask Jen. Only one feedback I have is the intro segment is too long. One of the recent episodes i listened to, it was almost 8 minutes before the interview /talk with the guest even began. It’d be great if you can jump right in.

The Promotion Gap: What No One Teaches You About Moving from Doer to Leader with Femi Corazon
Q: How should women, especially Black women, lead without losing themselves?
Lead with your values and compassion, set boundaries, and avoid trying to make leadership more palatable at the cost of excellence. Stay authentic and courageous, protect your team's psychological safety, and understand that performance is about delivering results, not changing who you are.
The Promotion Gap: What No One Teaches You About Moving from Doer to Leader with Femi Corazon
Q: What is the promotion gap and how can someone bridge it?

Unlocking Your Human Design: Live and Lead in Alignment with Michelle Pecak
Q: What is human design and why should listeners care in a corporate context?
Human design is a framework that blends modern science and ancient wisdom to map how people are energetically wired, offering practical guidance on leadership, communication, and decision-making that can reduce burnout and improve team dynamics.
The Brave Shift: From Stress and Overload to Soul Success with Meghan French Dunbar
Q: What are one to two ways that you believe women can be braver at work today?
