Leading with Humanity - Donna Lucas

from The Jacquelyn Social Exchange Hosted by The Jacquelyn

This is an episode about showing up. For your team, for other women, for your marriage, and most importantly—for yourself. Donna Lucas is a force in California politics, but her real superpower is knowing when to push and when to pull back. As the founder and CEO of Lucas Public Affairs, Donna has worked with governors, first ladies, and changemakers from both sides of the aisle. But this conversation isn't about political strategy. It's about the human side of leadership. You'll learn: - Why listening beats talking (even when you think you know the answer) - How to manage four generations in one workplace - The power of physical presence in an increasingly remote world - Why flipping your health priorities at 50 can change everything - How to stand up early in your career (and help others do the same) - Why "life is a dance" between hard work and intentional rest Perfect for: Leaders navigating multi-generational teams, women building their careers while maintaining relationships, and entrepreneurs who've forgotten how to show up for themselves. This is about showing up fully, wherever you are, whenever it matters most. Guest: Donna Lucas, Founder & CEO of Lucas Public Affairs, Co-founder of SheShares, Former Chair of California Chamber of Commerce, Sacramento Businesswoman of the Year (2018) Sponsors: ⁠https://meropictures.com⁠ Learn more about the Jacquelyn social club: ⁠https://www.thejacquelyn.com/⁠ Get In Touch: Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/thejacquelyn.official/⁠ LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-jacquelyn/⁠ Email: ⁠[email protected]⁠
