Beyond Fake it Till You Make It
from Leadership Therapy · host Dr. Jodi Blinco
EP 4: Beyond Fake it Till You Make It Dr. Jodi Blinco shares a foundational lesson in self-accountability centered on neuroscientist Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor’s quote: "Please be responsible for the energy you bring into this space." Moving past the superficial advice of "faking it," Dr. Blinco explores how internal stress constructs an invisible vibe that deeply impacts every physical or virtual room we enter. She addresses the reality of out-of-balance energy exchanges, where leaders over-give without replenishment, and shares how to set boundaries to trade resentment for personal peace. Drawing on a humbling story from her past tenure as a campus president, she delivers a powerful reminder that leadership means losing the right to project a bad day onto others, challenging us to evaluate exactly how we want people to feel when they step away from an interaction with us.In this episode, we cover:The Responsibility of Your Vibe The Danger of the Out-of-Balance Energy ExchangeMicro-Conversations for Self-CorrectionThe Leadership Impact Test Timestamped Highlights02:45 – Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor & A Stroke of Insight 04:33 – The Anchor Principle: Own Your Energy Space 06:50 – The Invisible Vibe and the "Pigpen Effect" 10:04 – Correcting the Out-of-Balance Energy Exchange 13:47 – Conducting Micro-Conversations with Yourself.16:35 – The Leadership Litmus Test: Would You Follow You? 18:08 – A Story from the Trenches: The Yoga Reality Check 21:16 – Grounding Affirmation Connect with ZenLeaderWeb: www.zenleader.orgLinkedIn: ZenLeader / Dr. Jodi BlincoInstagram: @ZenLeader / @DrJodiBlincoFacebook:ZenLeader / DrJodiBlincoLadies, are you ready to bring calm to your corporate chaos?Access the ZenLeader Masterclass Here Join the Conversation: Submit your questions or suggest a topic for the next episode: Email Us: [email protected] CreditsHost: Dr. Jodi Blinco www.drjodiblinco.comMusic: “Rise” by Tony Roberts www.tonyrobertsmusic.comProduced By: CreativeNature Consulting www.creativenatureconsulting.com
