LeadWell with Jacqui

In this episode, we're diving deep into one of the most common challenges leaders face: giving effective feedback. Forget the myth that feedback is an innate skill – it's actually a learned and teachable tool that can transform teams, boost engagement, and drive success.

Listen in as I break down the SAID feedback model (Situation, Action, Impact, Develop) and share actionable strategies to deliver feedback with confidence, kindness, and empathy. Whether you're leading a team or navigating professional relationships, this episode will empower you to turn feedback into a tool for growth.

Take Action:

This week, identify one colleague, team member, or even a loved one who could benefit from some feedback. Use the SAID model to structure the conversation, and notice the difference it makes. Don't forget to check in first and see if they're open to receiving it!

In this episode, I explore a powerful yet often overlooked topic: enmeshment, which is the blurring of boundaries between work and self-worth. Drawing from personal experiences, client stories, and thought-provoking insights, I examine how tightly intertwining our identity with our career can impact our self-esteem and overall well-being.

You'll gain practical strategies to disentangle your sense of self from your professional achievements, identify where enmeshment may be showing up in your life, and take steps to cultivate a balanced, fulfilling identity that thrives beyond the workplace. This is your invitation to redefine your worth and live authentically.

Remember that your worth isn't tied to your work. Listen in to explore how you can thrive both personally and professionally.

In this episode, I delve into a critical trait for effective leadership: confidence. Confidence isn’t something we either have or don’t, it’s a skill that can be developed, strengthened, and refined. Drawing on neuroscience, personal insights, and practical strategies, I explore how leaders can overcome common confidence blockers like imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and fear of failure. You'll learn actionable techniques to reframe self-doubt, lean into challenges, and cultivate a growth mindset. Let’s work together to build your confidence muscle and elevate your leadership potential.

Remember, confidence is a skill you can build, and it’s one of the most powerful tools in your leadership toolkit. Let’s grow together!

In this debut episode, I’m tackling a common barrier I see among leaders: the tendency to wait until we feel "ready" before stepping into new opportunities. Drawing on personal stories and experiences from my clients, I explore why we often hold back and how we can reframe our mindset to embrace growth, even when we don’t feel 100% prepared. My goal is to encourage you to take that first step, act on your ambitions, and trust that the readiness will follow.

Welcome to LeadWell with Jacqui, where I’ll be sharing stories, insights, and tools to help you grow, lead authentically, and make a meaningful impact.
