On this episode of the No Labels, No Limits Podcast, we welcome Jennifer Robin Wilson—leadership coach, author, and consultant—whose career has spanned midwifery, nonprofit leadership, and now coaching and writing.

Jennifer’s unique journey—from delivering babies to guiding organizations—reflects her passion for human connection through change. A certified Kolbe Consultant with an MBA in Leadership and MFA in Creative Nonfiction, she helps leaders and teams reduce burnout, improve collaboration, and align with their natural problem-solving instincts.

Her latest book, The Heart of Homestay, draws on her 17 years leading the Canada Homestay Network and offers tools for navigating cultural differences, building compassion, and fostering psychological safety.

In this conversation, Jennifer shares:

• How Kolbe assessments help reduce stress and unlock team dynamics
• Why understanding conation—how we naturally take action—transforms leadership in real time
• The parallels between hosting international students and creating healthy workplace cultures
• Why failure and discomfort, when embraced, are powerful drivers of innovation and trust

Jennifer’s grounded wisdom, combined with her soaring vision (yes, she’s also a licensed pilot), makes this a conversation filled with practical insights and heartfelt stories.

Jennifer also offers free leadership and host family resources through her website.
