On Personal Recalibration with Jenn Garbach

In this episode of Barb’s FreshEyes, Jenn Garbach, CMO of PNC Bank, shares her experience leading through complexity and change—offering a behind-the-scenes look at how she defeats high-intensity burnout and self-inflicted pressure.We explore how finding her "most calibrated version of myself" helped her elevate her performance as both a senior executive and a working mom, and what she learned about self-management and getting unstuck from a pattern of "burning at both ends."Key Takeaways Own the Pressure. Stop trying to operate at a "10 out of 10" in every dimension. The pressure is often self-inflicted, and acknowledging that fact is the first step to freedom. Calibrate to Elevate. The path to success is constant recalibration, not perfect balance. When you prioritize yourself (the "oxygen mask"), you show up with more energy and focus at work and at home.Use the Post-it Note Methodology. When you feel stressed, ask yourself: "What's the story I need to tell myself right now?" This conscious negotiation helps you manage energy flows and de-escalate stress immediately.Resourceshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jenngarbach/https://www.pnc.com/en/personal-banking/brilliantly-boring.html Join the Conversation If this episode sparked a new insight or challenge you’re facing, share your takeaway on LinkedIn and tag Barb to keep the conversation going.
