S5.13-117 - What's in a Name... "Jennifer"

🎙️ New Podcast Episode | Thought Leadership, Identity & the Future of Work

I’m excited to share my latest podcast conversation with Jennifer McClure—globally recognized keynote speaker, executive advisor, and Founder & Chief Excitement Officer of DisruptHR.

Jennifer is known for challenging leaders to move beyond operational excellence and step into transformational impact. With decades of experience in executive HR leadership and a global platform spanning 30+ countries, she brings bold perspective on leadership, influence, and navigating change with intention.

In this episode, we explored something both personal and powerful: the meaning of names and how identity shapes leadership, influence, and the way we show up in the world. From the symbolism behind Jennifer’s name—often associated with waves, transformation, and constant motion—to deeper conversations about personal branding, privilege, and claiming your voice, this discussion was thoughtful, insightful, and refreshingly human.

✨ What you’ll hear in this episode:

• How names and identity intersect with leadership and personal brand
• Reflections on differentiation in a crowded world
• Why respect, recognition, and meaning still matter deeply in the future of work
• Jennifer’s perspective on influence, transformation, and leading with intention

Jennifer doesn’t just talk about disruption—she equips leaders to become architects of it, without losing their humanity along the way.

🎧 If you’re an HR leader, people leader, or anyone navigating change and identity in your work, this episode is for you.
