In this raw and insightful episode, Jena breaks down the deeper, often overlooked reasons why leadership can feel so challenging—even for seasoned professionals. Drawing from years of consulting and coaching experience, Jena identifies common themes that quietly derail leaders and shares the foundational mindset shifts that help turn things around.
This episode isn’t about pointing fingers—it’s about holding up a mirror. With empathy and honesty, Jena explores why so many leaders struggle with managing their own energy and reacting to feedback with defensiveness.
Listeners will walk away with:
- A powerful reframe on what it really means to "manage your energy"
- Practical tools to receive feedback without spiraling into shame
- A reminder that leadership is a skill set—not a status
- Tangible signs of when you're getting in your own way (and how to stop)
- A grounding mantra: "I don’t need the world to be calm. I am the calm."
Whether you’re just stepping into leadership or feeling off-course in your current role, this episode offers a grounding reset and a strong starting point for personal growth.
