The Work of You
This is a podcast about the leadership that matters most — the kind that starts from within.
Hosted by certified behavioral coach and Enneagram expert Jen Ostrich, The Work of You is for high-achieving humans ready to stop repeating patterns and start leading themselves differently.
Through insights from coaching, the Enneagram, and her own personal inner overhaul, Jen brings honesty, humor, and sharp emotional clarity to the table. With real talk, self-awareness tools, and a healthy dose of tough love, she helps you uncover what’s driving you, shift what’s no longer serving you, and ultimately do the work of you — one honest episode at a time.
This isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about finally understanding yourself — so your choices, relationships, and leadership can actually align with who you truly are.

In this week's episode, Jen has an open conversation with KG Treser, a Chief of Staff at LinkedIn, who is on a mission to democratize executive-level skills for everyone. We dive into the gritty reality of the “gear shift” required to move from being a high-performing doer to a strategic leader who leads with a point of view—even when you feel like you’re just making it up. KG opens up about her own “Swiss Army Knife” of inner work, exploring how everything from tarot cards to spot patterns to using AI for processing helps her navigate the high-pressure world of tech with authenticity and grace.
In this episode, we explore:
- The pivotal "gear shift" from operator to strategist
- Breaking down strategy: goals, constraints, and the blend of IQ and EQ
- Using "clean systems" like the Enneagram and Tarot to identify blind spots
- The "Enneagram 2 Shadow" and the power of shifting worldviews
- How to use AI (Claude and Copilot) to navigate complex team dynamics
- Grounding yourself in simple mantras to rewire core beliefs
