The Magnetic Leader
🎙️ Welcome to The Magnetic Leader Podcast
You've built real success. So why does leading still feel this hard?
Reclaim Your Authority — Conscious Leadership in Life & Business
This podcast is for the executive, founder, or business owner who is the person everyone else relies on.
You read the room before anyone else does. You carry more than your share. And you still lie awake overthinking decisions you felt confident about earlier.
The problem isn’t your capability. It’s what can happen when the pressure is on: the overthinking, the self-doubt, and the habit of taking responsibility for everyone and everything around you.
I’m Lisa Jeffs—an intuitive executive and leadership coach, former child and youth counsellor, and bestselling author. I’ve worked in human development for more than 20 years and have spent the past 12+ years coaching high-level leaders.
I created this podcast because I know this experience personally. I know what it’s like to be perceptive, deeply driven, and the person others turn to while still questioning yourself in rooms where everyone assumes you have all the answers.
My work combines practical leadership strategy with deep inner and intuitive work. Because sometimes the problem isn’t what you’re saying or doing. It’s what happens inside you in the moments before you respond.
Each episode looks at what happens when capable leaders freeze, overexplain, back down, or become reactive—and how to catch those patterns before they make the decision for you.
Subscribe for honest conversations about confidence, authority, leadership, and the things that don’t usually get talked about when you’re the one everyone else is counting on.
