This week, Jada and Kim sit down with Nola Grant, Executive Vice President of Human Resources at Harvest Hope and former Chief HR Officer at Nephron Pharmaceuticals. Nola’s story is one of resilience, service, and unshakable authenticity. From her early days as a scholar-athlete and Miss South Carolina to her two decades leading HR teams across industries, she shares the pivotal lessons that shaped her leadership philosophy.
Nola opens up about the defining “lead through it” moment of her career, when standing firm in her values put her at odds with a toxic environment. With candor and grace, she reflects on the power of pausing, the importance of self-leadership, and the discipline of pouring out of your overflow rather than an empty cup.
Along the way, Jada and Kim explore practical strategies leaders can use when faced with adversity: connecting to your “why,” practicing self-reflection, and strengthening the muscle of calm under pressure.
Whether you’re an aspiring professional or a seasoned executive, this conversation is packed with wisdom about integrity, growth, and what it truly means to lead through hard seasons.
If today’s conversation resonated, connect with us and be part of the community of leaders who refuse to lead alone.
