CARE First, Lead Better with Jen Hardy

Ep. 141. In this episode, I speak to powerhouse Jen Hardy, COO at the Academy of Motivation, for a vulnerable and insightful conversation on leadership, emotional literacy, and personal transformation. Jen takes us through her journey from chronic fatigue and burnout to empowered leadership—anchored by emotional intelligence and behavioural science.Together, we explore the CARES framework, a powerful model designed to support high-stress professionals in reclaiming their well-being. We talk about how language shapes our experience using NLP, how emotions only need 90 seconds to move through us (if we let them!), and why tying our self-worth to productivity is a trap worth escaping.SegmentsThe Journey of Self-Discovery and HealingIntegrating Behavioural Science and Emotional LiteracyThe Impact of Language on Leadership and HealingThe Power of Self-Talk and Inner Child HealingThe CARES Framework: A New Approach to CommunicationAddressing Burnout and Emotional FatigueSetting Up Conversations for SuccessJen's BioJen Hardy is the COO at the Academy of MotivAction, is a transformation-driven educator, speaker, and coach who bridges logic and emotion to create lasting impact.
