Courageous Leadership: Taking Risks 4 Massive Wins w/ Jourdan Hathaway

Pretty much everything about me as an executive is covered in this show

Ep127: Courageous Leadership: Take Risks 4 Massive Wins w/ Jourdan Hathaway | LinkedIn. Watch my episode of The Executive Appeal Podcast with Alex D. Tremble (CEO of GPS Leadership Solutions & KeynoteSpeaker). He’s awesome BTW and instrumental in my career. Discover how taking calculated risks can lead to significant victories for your family, team, and organization, and learn how to navigate setbacks with a growth mindset.

Here’s what we cover:

  • Alex D. Tremble gives me the most hype intro ever – I’ll be putting his VO over music and use it as my own walk out music each morning to get in the zone.
  • We discuss what I think it takes to be a good leader – not platitudes, the real stuff.
  • He asks me about my deal with de-dabbling – it’s my jam.
  • We get into the decision points of taking on a new role at a new company and having the courage to get out of your comfort zone – all about knowing where you’re trying to go and if your next decision gets you closer to that or not.
  • We delve into the liberation of knowing your career risk tolerance – yep, it’s a big bold move and it’s possible it might not work out – but figure out the risk of the worst-case scenario and see if you can live with that. If you can…. GOOOOO
  • Then a brief chat on what happens when you bet on yourself and why you need to.
  • Alex then gives me a zinger of a question that lots of executives like me struggle with – if you came from poverty and a difficult childhood and become self-made through grit and resilience (aka, the path I took made me strong as hell), how do you then deal with the new life you’ve built for your kids? Also, how do be super ambitious and be a good parent? Woof – I don’t know. I’m winging it every day on that front 😊
  • Next, one of my favorite topics of all time – Project FLAT. I’ve written extensively on that, and you can find it on my profile. It’s my real-life professional development plan that took me from a VP of Marketing to an SVP of Operations (and now I’m a CMO). I’m obsessed with owning your own professional development and share what that looks for me.
  • I wrap with final thoughts on being bold, courageous and supporting others who are trying to do the damn thing.

Thanks for having me on the show GPS Leadership Solutions! Thanks also to the Exceptional Women Alliance that I’m proud to be a part of.
