The Career Refresh with Jill Griffin: Leadership & Career Strategy for Leaders
The Career Refresh is a Top 2% globally ranked leadership podcast hosted by executive leadership strategist Jill Griffin.
Leadership has changed. Most leadership advice hasn’t.
This is the podcast for experienced leaders, executives, and ambitious professionals who are ready for their next era of leadership—whether that’s leading with greater influence where they are, stepping into executive leadership, or making a strategic career move.
Each episode explores what it really takes to lead in today’s complex workplace, where the stakes are high, change is constant, and certainty is rare. You’ll learn practical leadership strategies for navigating organizational politics, leading through ambiguity, building executive presence, making better decisions, managing career transitions, and creating sustainable success without losing yourself in the process.
Hosted by Jill Griffin, an executive coach and leadership strategist with more than 20 years of experience advising senior leaders at organizations including Microsoft, Coca-Cola, Samsung, The Federal Reserve, Meta, Google, Hilton Hotels, and Notion Labs, each episode combines practical leadership insights with real-world coaching conversations to help you lead with greater clarity, discernment, and conviction.
Because the next level of leadership isn’t about having all the answers.
It’s about becoming the kind of leader others trust to navigate what’s next.
This is Next Era Leadership®.
