The Career Refresh with Jill Griffin: Leadership Strategy for Senior Professionals
Leadership has changed. Most advice hasn't.
The Career Refresh is for leaders and senior professionals who are done operating on a model that no longer fits, whether that means leading differently in the role they're in, or making a strategic move to the role they want next.
Each episode explores what it actually takes to lead when the stakes are high, the systems are messy, and certainty is in short supply. From navigating organizational complexity to repositioning yourself in a competitive market, this is the show for leaders who want to move with clarity.
Hosted by leadership strategist Jill Griffin, who brings 20+ years of executive coaching and advisory experience working with senior leaders at global brands including Coca-Cola, Microsoft, Notion, Samsung, and Hilton Hotels.
This is Next Era Leadership.
