The Leading With Grace Podcast
The Leading with Grace Podcast is for women who want to climb the ladder while thriving instead of struggling. This is where we break free of outdated masculine leadership ideals, tap into our intuition and step into our feminine power.
I’m your host, Jen Reimer, leadership expert, speaker and coach; here to help you identify the conditioning that is holding you back from courageous, inspirational leadership.
I am endlessly fascinated by what drives human behaviour, and love those “aha” moments when I discover a paradigm I’ve been living into but unaware of.
In this show, we explore how societal paradigms and the subconscious mind play a role in the way you work and lead, and how to rise above this conditioning to lead with grace and courage.
