Welcome to Power Skills with Janna, a podcast where we dive into the nitty-gritty of leadership development, behavioural change, and cultural transformation. I'm Janna Jones, and I'm thrilled to have you here!
I know that as a leader, you have a lot on your plate. You're juggling competing priorities, managing a team - plus the one at home and humans are hard work! and don't forget you! you're also trying to achieve your goals. It can be tough, and it's okay to admit that you need support, a sounding board, a safe space and an outlet. I'm here for that!
As someone who's been in leadership - whether through influence or direct reports and leadership development in a tough male dominated industry for 15 years, I've seen a LOT. I've worked with executives in multi-billion dollar organisations, personal leaders, technical professionals, and emerging leaders, and I'm slowly starting to convince people that what we have traditionally called the "soft skills" are actually the most powerful skills in your leadership toolkit.
But let's be real here: It isn't easy. It can be challenging to communicate effectively, overcome imposter syndrome, or lead authentically and with emotional intelligence. Humans are hard work - us included. I know, I've been there. I've failed hard, hurt deeply, learned a lot dusted myself off and built up the courage to fail again. But its worth it - ohhhh the impact you can have. That's why I do what I do. In this podcast I'm committed to sharing insights with practical tips and strategies that you can apply in both your personal and professional life, with a side of brutal reality so we can refocus on whats within our control.
So if you're looking to unleash your potential and lead a more fulfilled life, then I'm here for you. Tune in, subscribe, and let's explore together. And if you have any questions or topics you'd like me to cover, feel free to connect with me on socials. I look forward to hearing from you.
