Ep. 94, Your Leadership’s Hidden GPS: Values, Joyosity™ Summer Sips

Saison 2

mercredi 18 juin 2025 • Durée 08:52

What do you want people to see when they look at your leadership?

In this mini-episode, Jenn and Shelby reflects on the conversation with former Nike executive Kenx Black, who brings serious depth to the idea of values — not as brand buzzwords, but as the way you move through the world.

From design to decision-making, Ken reminds us that personal values don’t stay put—they follow you through every role, every pivot, every big “what’s next.”

Whether you're building a team or choosing clients, knowing your values helps you say “yes” with purpose and “no” without guilt.

Key Takeaway

Your values aren’t just about how you see the world. They’re how you want the world to see *you*.

Ep. 93, Fit is out. Culture add is in. Joyosity™ Summer Sips

Saison 2

mercredi 11 juin 2025 • Durée 10:56

You’re already creating culture.

Yes, even if it’s just you and your cat.

Culture isn’t some corporate memo or office ping-pong table. It’s how you flow together. In this episode, Jenn and Shelby revisits the conversation with leadership expert Moe Carrick to explore what culture actually means, why it exists even in teams of one, and how hiring for “fit” might be holding you back.

Key Takeaway

The question isn’t if you have culture — it’s what kind you’re creating, and if it supports the way you want to work and lead.

Ep. 84 The Purpose Pivot: Aligning Values, Strategy, and Action with Ron Tite

Saison 2

mercredi 9 avril 2025 • Durée 25:22

“When the world hints at change, most businesses hesitate. When the world demands change, they take the easy way out.” Ron Tite with the mic drop moments on the podcast this week.

We both agree real leadership isn’t about superficial strategies. Running a business and leading is far more than just giving lipservice to purpose. You must anchor action to purpose.

In this episode of The Joyosity Podcast, host Jenn Whitmer sits down with Ron Tite, speaker, author, and founder of Church & State, to discuss the truth about purpose-driven leadership. Ron’s new book, The Purpose of Purpose, dives into why businesses get purpose wrong, how they “purpose-wash” for PR, and what it takes to align values, strategy, and action.

What You’ll Hear:

4:34 Ron’s winding career path

9:58 Why many businesses misunderstand and misuse purpose

12:42 How purpose connects to profit, culture, and leadership growth

14:07 The difference between true purpose and performative purpose

19:39 The leadership issue that’s bigger than the Great Resignation —resignation to the status quo

About Ron Tite:

Ron Tite is a renowned speaker, author, and the Chief Innovation Officer at Church & State, an award-winning advertising agency. His insights on creativity, business strategy, and leadership have made him one of the most engaging thought leaders on LinkedIn and beyond. His latest book, The Purpose of Purpose, challenges leaders to rethink how they define and activate purpose in their organizations.

Ep. 83 Why Serious Leaders Fail (And What to Do Instead)

Saison 2

mercredi 2 avril 2025 • Durée 22:09

Seriousness about destroyed me in 2nd grade. And unfortunately, it’s likely your path to failure as a full-grown adult human.

SO MANY messages about “professionalism” and “be serious.” It’s not shocking then that many leaders fall victim to the ideas that seriousness, discipline, and relentless productivity are the keys to success. But research — and real-world experience — prove otherwise. In this episode, Jenn Whitmer breaks down the hidden cost of “serious leadership” and why joy, play, and connection create stronger, more effective teams.

If this sounds delightful (and maybe untrue) tune in to learn:

Why “seriousness equals success” is killing you and your team.
The true cost of joyless leadership (Meaning burnout, disengagement, and turnover.)
What leaders and businesses get wrong about joy (and it’s just a joy juke that breaks trust)
The hidden trap of being the “smushed leader” and how to escape it
Two questions to ask your team and your leader to you don’t have to be the only responsible adult in the room.

Doing this alone sucks. So grab one of the Joyosity™ Intensive slots for Q2 before they’re gone.

Ep. 80 Holding It Together: Leading Through Uncertainty with Jo Saxton

Saison 2

mercredi 12 mars 2025 • Durée 28:09

Are you leading or just surviving?

My Enneagram Seven self desperately wants to reframe and excuse and brush (shove) it all under a nice area rug. But that plunges us all deeper into barely hanging on.

In this episode of The Joyosity™ Podcast, leadership expert, and my mentor-from-afar, Jo Saxton joins me to unpack the overwhelming reality facing leaders today. Layoffs, rapid change, impossible demands? All if it means leadership as we knew it isn’t working anymore.

We’re not just in a cultural crisis—we’re in a leadership crisis.

And if you’ve been feeling stuck, scattered, or stretched beyond your limits, this episode will help you:

Recognize the leadership moves that no longer work and what to do instead.
Stop the cycle of overwhelm by taking back control of your time, attention, and priorities.
Diagnose what’s really draining you—is it workload, leadership gaps, or distractions disguised as priorities?

Key questions we explore:

Who benefits from your overwhelm?
What important work is getting lost in the chaos?
How is stress stealing your joy as a leader?

Don’t miss minute 25—it’s a gut check moment every leader needs.

Next Steps:

If you're feeling stuck, I’ve opened a limited number of this month. I only have four spots because I am finishing my book this month (coming out in October 2025). In this one-on-one coaching session, we’ll:

Ep. 78 ICYMI Half-Play or Full-Play: Joy and Productivity at Work

Saison 2

mercredi 26 février 2025 • Durée 32:53

You don’t get to decide what feels like play for someone else. I see this all the time in team building exercises or team happy hours, the leaders walk away from it thinking, “Yes, we rocked that!” only to later find out others on the team felt drained or annoyed by the whole event. That’s where knowing your team members’ play styles really helps.

In this conversation, Shelby and I discussed how play shows up at work (and home) and how being able to fully engage boosts productivity and joy. We talked about those “forced fun” events, how employers can make their everyday work more playful and how allowing toxic behavior can ruin the whole thing.

This months focus on play was timely. With never ending snow days, lots of tense feelings on social media, and even some shift in my personal life and business… reminding me that play and boundaries go hand in hand helped me navigate forward. Tune in and let me know what stood out to you. I’d love to hear what your play style is and how it shows up at work.

Here’s what we talked about:

02:50 Half play vs full play

07:22 Play should be a choice

08:50 Making mistakes exciting and invited into work

15:30 Why respecting other play styles boosts productivity

20:35 How rules and roles influence success

26:00 Our culture is only as good as the worst behavior we tolerate

29:10 Setting boundaries and rules for ourselves and our team

Ep. 77 Tackling Toxic Work Environments with Play and Psychological Safety With Jeff Harry

Saison 2

mercredi 19 février 2025 • Durée 32:12

We didn’t leave bullies behind in the 7th grade. That person will appear in any group of people where the leader allows it.

And it’s the worst. Especially when the bully is the manager.

A Workforce Institute study showed that your direct manager impacts your mental health more than your spouse, doctor, or therapist! So we need to deal with the bullies and unsafe (and even toxic) behavior. And play can be part of that solution.

Jeff Harry has made it his mission to prove that play can make workplaces more enjoyable and productive. He’s seen firsthand how workplaces struggle when they leave out joy. In this episode, Jeff and I recounted how Ted Lasso uses play to align with his team (of course we had to talk about him!). We spoke about what defines play and how being in flow can increase productivity by a significant amount. And we also dove into what to do about toxic behavior in the workplace.

Jeff and I both shared some questions to ask yourself so you can uncover what your play personality and values are and how to incorporate them in your work. We also nerd out a bit on how every innovative workplace product has its roots in curiosity and a willingness to embrace mistakes.

If you’re curious about unlocking your team’s zone of genius or simply tired of the dreaded Sunday scaries, this episode is here to help you find joy and innovation at work. When you’re at play you’re truly you and we need more people in this world who come alive with the work that they do.

Here’s what we talked about:

03:11 Why addressing toxic behavior is crucial for creating a safe work environment

05:15 How psychological safety impacts creativity and innovation
