She believes the global pandemic forced everyone to give themselves permission to think differently and face life’s inevitable changes, both professionally and personally.   Jenny discusses the many great leaders in her community and how they exhibit servant leadership. She takes us on a deeper dive into the importance of finding like-minded peers and creating spaces that are safe and full of grace as we all navigate through this time of uncertainty.

She also shares her method of maintaining a generous and purpose-driven leadership style.  From the rapid-fire questions, we learn about Jenny’s most recent “aha” moment that helped her rediscover creativity. Jenny shares her insight on how podcasting has aided in her professional development and why it's a good tool for introverts.
