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.
