"Everyone Wants a Piece of You" Protecting Your Energy Without Losing Your Warmth

As a leader, it can feel like everyone needs something right now: a decision, a conversation, a complaint, a meeting. In this episode, Jena Young unpacks the emotional toll of being perpetually “on call” and offers a grounded, empowering guide for how to protect your time and energy without becoming cold or unavailable.Pulling from her own introverted leadership style and real-world lessons as a business owner, Jena introduces practical tactics, including John Maxwell’s 80-20-80 Principle, to help leaders prioritize what (and who) truly deserves their time. She also shares 11 ready-to-use boundary-setting scripts for common workplace interruptions from The One-Stop Shopper to The Opinionator.This episode is a must-listen for leaders who want to stay connected and compassionate while avoiding burnout. It's time to lead with intention, protect your energy, and finally let go of the guilt around saying “not right now.”To book Jena of Elevated Leadership for one-on-one or group coaching, reach out to [email protected] We look forward to hearing from you!Instagram: @elevatedleadership and @jenayoung2.0 www.elevatedleadershipgrowth.com
