In this powerful episode, I sit down with Jenny Steadman, a leadership coach and dedicated advocate for sexual abuse survivors.
Jenny shares her deeply personal journey of surviving sexual violence, reclaiming her voice, and the steps she took to break the silence that often surrounds such experiences. We discuss her transformation from victim to advocate, and how these experiences have shaped her approach as a corporate leadership coach.
Jenny’s story is one of resilience, courage, and empowerment, offering valuable insights for anyone seeking to overcome adversity and make a meaningful impact in their personal and professional lives
Jenny Steadman is a TEDx and keynote speaker, company director, leadership development consultant, mother, wife, and meditation teacher. Her life journey also includes navigating the challenges of being a victim-survivor of childhood sexual abuse.
She founded the Wisdom of Survivors project, gathering stories and insights from those who have made significant progress in their healing to support those in need.
She is also the Co-National Director of Potential Project Australia, a global research and consulting firm on a mission to create a more human world of work.
