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.

Is Your Mindset Holding You Back? What to Do When You Have a Case of the But..Firsts
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
I recently did an episode on the fixed mindset phenomenon of the …yeah, buts (Check out Episode 88).
It’s rationalized fear. This week I am talking about the other BUTs in your life. The But Firsts Mindset.
The But Firsts Mindset shows up in ways that look rational. They look responsible, and they resemble preparedness.
Maybe. Are you But Firsts stopping you?
In this episode, I discuss
- How your But Firsts may be masking hesitancy and uncertainty
- How fear, decision fatigue, and imposter syndrome play a part in mindset
- How to questioning your thinking around your But Firsts will propel you into action
