31. How To Take Big Swings, with Jennifer Peabody, President of Havas Edge

from Humans & Brands · host Lauren The Seeker

What does it really mean to be daring? This week we explore taking big swings and stepping into opportunities that feel scary but could change everything. Host Lauren Douglass sits down with Jennifer Peabody, President of Havas Edge, who knows exactly what this looks like. Jennifer made the bold decision to take a job three levels below her previous role and cut her salary by two-thirds, and it became the best decision of her life. She gets real about her 23-year journey at the same company, being the only woman in the C-suite, why she keeps a "remember who you are" note on her phone, and how emotional resilience became her superpower.  If you've ever wondered whether to take that scary leap or felt like the only one in the room, this conversation will remind you that confidence is a muscle you can build, and sometimes the boldest moves are the ones that don't make sense on paper.
