The Career Refresh with Jill Griffin: Leadership Strategy for Senior Professionals
Leadership has changed. Most advice hasn't.
If you're a high performing leader who's overfunctioning, absorbing everyone else's pressure, and still not feeling like things are moving, the issue isn't effort. It's the model.
The Career Refresh is for executives and senior professionals ready to lead differently. Less reactive. More deliberate. With the capacity to navigate complexity without losing yourself in the process.
Hosted by executive coach and leadership strategist Jill Griffin, each episode explores what it actually takes to lead when the stakes are high, the systems are messy, and certainty is in short supply, helping you move from exhausted and overextended to clear, strategic, and stable under pressure.
This is Next Era Leadership.

Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week I have the pleasure of chatting with Lizzy Klein, a proven startup leader with a talent for scaling early-stage businesses.
Through 3 IPOs and 3 acquisitions, Lizzy’s been recognized for creating >$300mm in equity value through strategic product development, as well as for generating revenue and building high-performing and diverse teams.
At just shy of 50 years young, she founded and launched her second start-up mazi + zo, a fine jewelry company for customers who value high-quality pieces, elevated design, sustainably-sourced materials, and local production.
In this episode, we discuss how:
- Lizzy launched her career in Product Development
- She continues to refresh her career
- The events of 2020 and beyond led Lizzy to tap into social activism by donating proceeds to organizations that align with her values
- She doesn't follow conventional start-up daily hacks, and how she navigates her path to remain wildly successful
