Join us as I welcome my guest Madelaine Weiss, a Harvard-trained Licensed Psychotherapist and Mindset Expert, with an MBA and Board-Certification in Executive, Career, and Life Coaching, who shares not only her professional wisdom but also heartwarming personal stories.

As the bestselling author of “Getting to G.R.E.A.T. 5-Step Strategy for Work and Life,” a coauthor in the “Handbook of Stressful Transitions Across the Lifespan,” Madelaine recently released her personal development book for kids, “What’s Your Story?” The book aims to help young people build lives of resilience, performance, and overall well-being, making it a thoughtful gift for families.

Madelaine highlights the importance of grounding in belief and creating a supportive space for clients, enabling them to overcome personal obstacles and foster change. The discussion on action emphasizes the Goldilocks principle, encouraging listeners to take steps that are neither too daunting nor too insignificant, but just right to spur motivation and creativity.

My guest today is Jenna Stoliker, Conscious Leadership Coach. She is your guide to leading with confidence and the power of feminine leadership principles. As an ICF-credentialed coach with a fire in her belly for empowering women, Jenna helps leaders tap into their emotional intelligence and build unshakeable confidence.
