Live Life by Design with Jennifer Ledet
Manage episode 331910857 series 3342754
Have the recent storms of life dredged up old ways of thinking or behaviors that no longer work for you? Imagine living and leading a life by design, rather than default. Wouldn't that feel awesome? Today's gal pal, Jennifer Ledet believes we all have too much opportunity to not go for it. Starting with a few powerful choices, we can live more intentionally and fulfilled. Of course, we still have to go through the messy middle from where we are now to where we want to be. So during today's conversation, Jen shares some of her ideas for managing the messy middle to live life by design.
Jen’s career as Human Resources Director, consultant, speaker, and coach has a recurring theme of helping people to be more effective and authentic in their leadership roles. However, she admits for years she struggled to allow her own authenticity to emerge. She felt like she needed to model her style after others, mask her Cajun accent, and suppress her sassy sense of humor. These days, Jen leans into her authentic self to contribute her highest value to her clients. Her programs focus on mastering communication, inspiring real teamwork, and amping individual influence to impact the bottom line. She’s the author of Lead, Follow, or Pass Me the Hot Sauce, and creator of the Women’s Leadership Collective.
In this episode we talk about:
- How to flip a challenge into something constructive
- Being courageous and be curious
- Where to find support
- How to change your life by making better choices
