This week we're talking with Brad Hill about vulnerability and courage!
If you find yourself cynical about vulnerability (or honestly, about anything) you'll want to listen to this episode. Brad helps us bring more awareness to the stuff that might inadvertently be holding us back in our lives.
Plus, we talk about being aligned with our passions, finding courage at the top of a big slide and how small shifts in our words can make a big difference in our relationships.
Also, Jenna is ready to debate Waiting for Guffman vs. Best in Show whenever you're ready (but she's not interested in talking about TTPD).

Jenna welcomes Gina Lichte to the podcast this week! Gina is the president and CEO of Girls on the Run Greater Kansas City and a fierce advocate for living your best life. Also, she's Jenna's real-life bestie and was among top listeners of this podcast according to 2023 Spotify Wrapped. A true legend.
In this conversation, we talk about vulnerable stuff that we're working on and the ways we may need to turn down the volume on our strengths for the good of the people around us. Gina shares her vision of the art and science of leadership, and as "maximizers" we struggle to be ok with the enoughness of things in front of us. Oh, and we talk about ice skating, too.

Out with the old, in with the YOU
My name is Jenna Washnieski and I'm a leadership coach helping you find more confidence in leadership and more balance in life.
I've spent over a decade in or working alongside executive leadership, and have developed a bunch of strategies (and some big opinions) about leadership, workplace culture and the importance of creating your own definition of balance.
This podcast is for anyone who knows deep down they're designed for something bigger or more in their lives, and are ready to figure out what the heck it is and what's stopping them.
Just because this work is challenging doesn't mean it can't be fun!
