Wanting Things to be Different
Think on Purpose
07/02/24 • 14 min
Jen discusses how leaders can navigate situations where they wish circumstances were different, but can't change them. By shifting their mindset and responding purposefully, leaders can turn challenges into opportunities for growth and set a positive tone for their teams.
1. Shift from asking "why" to "how" you can navigate the challenge and focus on turning it into an opportunity.
2. Acknowledge and accept unchangeable circumstances to free yourself from the mental burden of resistance and move forward with a positive attitude.
3. Communicate transparently with your team, seek input, and focus on actionable steps that align with your goals and values to make a meaningful difference.

How can you recover from a vulnerability hangover?
Think on Purpose
03/25/25 • 14 min
Jen dives into the uncomfortable but powerful experience of a vulnerability hangover—that self-doubt and regret that creeps in after you've put yourself out there in a big way. Instead of seeing it as a problem, we explore why it’s actually a sign of growth and courageous leadership. You’ll learn how to navigate the discomfort, resist the urge to backpedal, and trust that your authenticity is making a bigger impact than you realize.
Key Takeaways:
- A vulnerability hangover isn’t a sign you did something wrong—it’s a sign you took a meaningful risk.
- Resist the urge to downplay or undo your vulnerability—trust that it was valuable.
- Self-compassion and perspective will help you move through the discomfort and grow as a leader.

Managing Through Obstacles
Think on Purpose
09/03/24 • 19 min
Jen explores how labeling obstacles as Level 1, 2, or 3 can help leaders manage challenges more effectively, using the traffic light metaphor to illustrate how different levels of obstacles require varying degrees of attention and resources.
1. Categorizing challenges as Level 1, 2, or 3 helps leaders prioritize resources and maintain focus on what truly matters.
2. A leader who believes "everything is figureoutable" can have a positive impact on the mental health of those she leads.
3. It's impossible to have a plan for everything, but recognizing the level of obstacle helps leaders get out of the lower brain and into problem solving.

Think on Purpose
11/26/24 • 15 min

The goal isn’t to change minds—it’s to stay open-hearted and aligned with who you truly are.

Two Types of Challenges
Think on Purpose
10/15/24 • 15 min
Are you solving the right challenge with the right solution? Many of us—and our teams—are actually facing adaptive challenges, but we are using technical solutions to solve them, resulting in frustration and ineffective teams. Key takeaways:
- Most corporate trainings focus on technical challenges, leaving leaders and teams unprepared to handle adaptive, mindset-based problems.
- Adaptive challenges require personal growth and mindset shifts, not just external tools or processes.
- Leaders can help their teams through adaptive challenges by starting small, asking deeper questions, and providing ongoing reflection and support.

Skills Aren't Enough
Think on Purpose
07/16/24 • 18 min
Many leaders struggle with the same problems (or their team members do!) - and of course we need leadership skills, but that's not enough in an ambiguous, complicated and ever-changing world. Jen introduces the framework of Vertical Development and demonstrates how the same skill is executed very differently based on mindset.

How do I make faster decisions?
Think on Purpose
02/18/25 • 14 min
Jen explores how overthinking keeps us stuck in indecision and how making faster choices leads to greater clarity and confidence.
Key takeaways:
1) Indecision is still a decision—often one that keeps us from growth
2) We don’t find clarity by waiting; we find it by deciding
3) Trusting ourselves to act is the key to moving forward

Moving Forward from Failure
Think on Purpose
12/12/23 • 20 min
On today's episode, we're diving into a topic that every leader encounters: failures. As professionals in human services fields, we understand that setbacks are part of the journey, but what about those failures that hit a little harder? I've been there, and I bet you have too.
In this episode, I share personal experiences from different aspects of my career, like selling fitness center memberships, project management decisions, introducing new programs, and navigating customer service challenges. It's the failures that occur after we believe we're making the right choices that sting the most.
So, what do we often do when faced with these tough moments? We tend to turn the blame inward, questioning ourselves and our abilities. But what if there's a better way to handle failure?
Here's a fresh perspective:
- Breathe: Take a moment to ground yourself. This setback is a part of your journey, and it will pass. Reacting with a clear mind is key to extracting valuable lessons.
- Feel the Feelings: Instead of running away from the discomfort, embrace it. Feel one emotion at a time through activities like journaling, running, or meditating. Avoid the temptation to escape through external means – trust me, I've been there.
- Take Responsibility: Identify what was within your control and acknowledge your intentions behind the decisions. Reflect on your energy in those moments. It's about curiosity, not judgment. This step is crucial for understanding yourself better and moving forward.
- Learn: Now that you've processed the experience, it's time to learn. Ask yourself critical questions about the decision-making process. Could slowing down or speeding up have made a difference? What insights can you carry into future projects or relationships?
Remember, failures aren't forever. They're stepping stones to growth. Share your thoughts on what resonated with you, and if you enjoy this content, hop onto my newsletter at jenfreycoaching.com for quick weekly tips on leadership and self-care.
I'm cheering you on!
