Jahaan Blake

Podcasters unite! This Venueland journey takes us to Chicago where we chat with Jahaan Blake, Career Coach, Fan Experience Consultant, and host of the A Game of Her Own podcast! Jahaan talks about how she got into the industry – from an early love of sports to a unlikely opportunity with the Boston Red Sox to later gigs with the Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs – and how she ultimately decided to strike out on her own and do consulting and coaching. She talks about her work of coaching women trying to break into sports or advance in their careers, and we discuss common challenges and the best way to be an ally for your coworkers and advocate for yourself. She mentions the importance of asking the question “What does support look like from me?” to meet people where they are and help them in the best way possible. Jahaan talks about the excitement and fun of starting her own consulting business, her work with the Super Bowl and Pro Bowl, advice she would give others considering consulting, and how it led to the creation of her podcast – A Game of Her Own.
