14. The Body Keeps the Score in Business with Elizabeth Rose

Elizabeth Rose is President and Lead Coach at Garth Rose Consulting Group, where she brings 27 years of mediation experience and a decade of executive coaching to leaders and teams. But before the polished practice, there was a VW camper rolling through Europe, a Starbucks apron, and a borrowed conference room. Elizabeth's path from Long Island to law school to barista-turned-mediator is one of the scrappiest origin stories we've had on the show - and her work is as rigorous as her roots are "ready, fire, aim." In this episode, Jack and Elizabeth dig into somatic experiencing (yes, your body is keeping score), why emotional intelligence is the real ROI lever for your sales team, and why great leadership now means admitting when your two-year-old kept you up all night.
