This week, we speak with global keynoter, culture thinker, and author Jeanette Bronée about evolving your leadership from urgency to wisdom, strengthening trust, clarity, and long-term growth.
These days, it can seem like there’s a constant barrage of urgent, competing demands in every direction. The pressure to be first and foremost in an AI world is built into stakeholder expectations. What happens when there are competing and urgent stakeholder issues that only you can address? We’ve seen that even the most accomplished top leaders can be pulled in all directions. Fear, worry, and a lack of support can lead to burnout and urgency-driven behavior.
But this doesn’t have to be the case.
Our guest, Jeanette Bronée, is a Danish-born, New York-based global keynote speaker and culture thinker. She’s also author of “The Self-Care Mindset®: Rethinking How We Change and Grow, Harness Wellbeing, and Reclaim Work-Life Quality.” She helps leaders and teams build an infrastructure of trust so people can think clearly, engage with care, and act with wisdom in a world that will not slow down.
We discuss how Jeanette’s practical method of Power-Pausing™can help leaders move beyond pressure and urgency-driven decisions to tap into the collective wisdom that supports sustainable, human-centered growth.
A former burned-out fashion executive turned human capacity nerd, Jeanette brings a rare combination of firsthand experience and 20 years of helping leaders and organizations build trust from the inside out. Speaking for audiences from Fortune 500 companies to global institutions, including the UN, and as a three-time TEDx speaker, she brings her thinking to leaders navigating real complexity, real pressure, and real stakes.
“Being human is not a problem to fix. We are the advantage.” – Jeanette Bronée
