#640 Break Through Middle Management with Authentic Leadership with Jennifer Jensen

Are you a high performer stuck in middle management, wondering why hard work isn’t enough to move you forward? 

In this episode of Talking with the Experts, host Rose Davidson speaks with leadership coach and author Jennifer Jensen about why so many talented professionals remain invisible to senior leadership and how to break through.

Jennifer explains that excelling at tasks alone doesn’t open doors to executive roles—what’s needed is authenticity, executive presence, and the ability to influence without authority. You’ll discover how to build confidence, visibility, and communication skills that make you stand out, while learning strategies to persuade, align with organizational goals, and lead authentically even without a formal title.

Equally important, Jennifer shares practical tools for avoiding burnout—delegation, time management, and self-care—so you can sustain performance while protecting your health.

This episode is your roadmap to transforming from an overlooked high performer into a visible, authentic leader ready for executive growth.
