Do you ever feel like a camp counselor or referee, constantly caught in the middle of gossip and petty drama at work? You’re not alone. In this episode, Jena dives into why drama thrives in small teams and how leaders often get pulled in—even when they don’t want to be. She shares her own early leadership struggles with gossip and the costly hidden payoffs that keep us stuck. Most importantly, she offers clear, actionable strategies to stop gossip in its tracks, set healthy boundaries, and create a culture where real connection and respect thrive.
If you’re ready to trade exhausting drama for powerful leadership that uplifts your team and your business, this episode is for you. Plus, stay tuned for a listener question about turning slow seasons into strategic opportunities!
