In today's episode of the UH-OH Conversations with Cohesive Leaders podcast, special co-host Trevor Crunelle steps in alongside Ben-Jamin Toy to chat with Jay Poulton, accent coach, author, and communications specialist. Jay opens up about an early career UH-OH when he was fired from a high-profile communications role after failing to fit the organization's culture. He shares the deep personal and professional toll it took on his pride, and how he processed the grief and anger that followed.

The conversation explores the differences between surface-level transparency and true vulnerability, the power of leaning on a trusted community during hard transitions, and how workplace anxiety often serves as an early indicator that you are out of alignment. Whether you are navigating a difficult setback or working to find your voice at the leadership table, Jay’s insights offer a blueprint for resilience and self-discovery.
