96: Unapologetic Leadership: Reinventing Your Career with Executive Coach Jennifer Speciale
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if your next career move isn't about finding the perfect job—but finally becoming the most unapologetic version of yourself?
Executive coach Jennifer Speciale joins host Amy Schutte for a raw conversation about career reinvention, owning your story, and stepping into your power without apologizing for it.
Jennifer opens up about her own pivots: moving to Italy, realizing she was massively underutilized, and rebuilding her career from scratch with clarity and zero regrets. Now she helps executives, emerging leaders, and anyone feeling stuck turn their experience into visibility, confidence, and intentional next moves.
If you're navigating a transition, craving more meaning at work, or struggling to tell your story as a leader—this episode will give you the tools, the permission, and the push you need.
What we cover:
- How to spot when you're being underutilized (and what to actually do about it)
- The mindset shifts that help leaders stop shrinking and start owning their space
- Why storytelling isn't fluffy—it's essential for career growth and getting noticed
- How to identify the wins, metrics, and moments that make you stand out
- What career pivots really require (for entrepreneurs and executives)
- How to prep for your next level before you're ready
- Why so many women leave the workforce mid-career—and how to come back stronger
- The art of taking credit, being visible, and ditching the self-minimizing habit
If you've ever thought, "There has to be more for me than this"—start here.
