- Jo’s leadership evolution and the challenges she’s faced throughout her athletic and coaching careers
- The importance of perseverance in pursuing your passions and how having an underdog mentality can help you succeed
- The impact of leading with love and leading by example
- The qualities that Jo feels contribute to making a great leader
- Jo’s advice for athletes transitioning to life after sports
- And more!
