The Career Refresh with Jill Griffin: Leadership Strategy for Senior Professionals
Leadership has changed. Most advice hasn't.
If you're a high performing leader who's overfunctioning, absorbing everyone else's pressure, and still not feeling like things are moving, the issue isn't effort. It's the model.
The Career Refresh is for executives and senior professionals ready to lead differently. Less reactive. More deliberate. With the capacity to navigate complexity without losing yourself in the process.
Hosted by executive coach and leadership strategist Jill Griffin, each episode explores what it actually takes to lead when the stakes are high, the systems are messy, and certainty is in short supply, helping you move from exhausted and overextended to clear, strategic, and stable under pressure.
This is Next Era Leadership.

Why We Need to Rethink Pre-Employment Assessments
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
According to HBR if you haven't taken a test as part of a hiring process, you probably will in your next job search.
About 76% of organizations with more than 100 employees rely on assessments for external hiring, especially for senior positions. In this episode, I discuss:
- The benefits of pre-employment assessments AND why they Suck
- How these assessments tell me a lot about the company culture
- Suggestions about how you may approach pre-employment assessments
- Tips for employers and organizations
