    Building in Public - The New Lens of Leadership as a Female CEO

    Building in Public - The New Lens of Leadership as a Female CEO

    In the latest episode of WorkParty, "Building in Public - The New Lens of Leadership as a Female CEO," Jaclyn Johnson and Marina Middleton dive deep into the intricate dynamics of female leadership and the societal pressures that shape it. They tackle the uncomfortable reality of navigating leadership roles under the scrutiny of gendered expectations, discussing everything from the need to add smiley faces in emails to soften their tone, to the challenges of giving constructive feedback without being labeled as harsh.




    Throughout the episode, they open the floor to listener questions, sharing personal stories and practical advice on overcoming these challenges. With a blend of humor, honesty, and wisdom, Jaclyn and Marina explore how female leaders can redefine the narrative, asserting their authority while maintaining authenticity. This episode is redefining female leadership on our own terms, advocating for a stance where women in power are encouraged to lead with conviction, undeterred by outdated stereotypes.

If we've learned anything from the past few years, the only constant is change, and we can’t pretend everything is status quo.

The brand has quickly become a cult favorite, with its products featured in top restaurants and publications worldwide.Jing told us when she was on our Create & Cultivate 100 list earlier this year: “Our mission is to evolve culture through taste and elevate consciousness by expanding palates and minds.”

Jing is here to talk about success and how it’s perceived by both those around us and ourselves.

A MUST for female entrepreneurs!

I discovered this podcast after reading the book which I bought solely by judging the book by the cover. I literally cannot believe I let this book sit in the unread section of my shelf for A YEAR! My answers and inspiration were next to my bed this whole time. Of course the book left me wanting more!!! Enter WorkParty podcast! I never listen without my notebook handy. So many gold nuggets. I love the style of the interviews including rapid fire questions at the end and book recommendations which I rapid buy. There is a huge diversity of women entrepreneurs with different backgrounds. Jaclyn’s voice is very pleasant like gumdrops. Colorful, firm-ish but sprinkled with sweetness. Haha. Her excitement but organized interviews help keep the conversation on track. The passion from the guests describing how they build their dream - well it’s like contagious endorphins. Like indirectly they are telling me “girl you can get there, keep running!”
