S2 Ep9 with Jean Cooper: The One Where We Learn to Just Keep Showing Up!

In this episode, Juliet's flying solo as Susan is traveling. Juliet talks with Jean Cooper—another inspiring alum of the Glide Foundation and a true force in values-driven leadership. Jean’s journey includes multiple leadership roles at Glide, where she served San Francisco’s most vulnerable communities as Chief of Staff, Chief Impact Officer, and Chief Financial and Operations Officer. Her experience spans deep programmatic leadership, executive strategy, and organizational transformation.

But Jean’s story doesn’t stop there. She’s also a seasoned consultant, a dedicated equestrian, and now, a practitioner weaving together spirituality and leadership in powerful new ways. Our conversation explores what it means to lead with purpose, how to stay grounded in high-stakes environments, and what happens when you bring your whole self—spirituality included—into your leadership practice.

Whether you're navigating systems change or looking to align your inner and outer work, this episode offers thoughtful insight from a leader who's done both.
