Description

Jennifer Takagi is an executive leadership and communication coach who works with leaders teaching them how to play well at work. As a result,they can get better performance from people they lead, increase profitability and create a purposeful workplace where people want to come and play productively.

During Jennifer’s training trips around the US for the past 30 years, she's seen a lot of frustrated people. There seemed to be some disconnect between the leaders and the people whom they were leading, and she set herself on a mission of changing that and turning cubicle cells into a playground where everyone can have fun, feel fulfilled and bring value in a playful way. 

Since Jennifer works in the same field as I do, it was great to exchange ideas and experiences, seeing that different backgrounds and focus areas can expand our perspectives. This interview will cover:

• Jennifer’s experience of a toxic environment where a leader put their fear on the students they had, and how it affected self-esteem of the others.
• How to seek help if you feel anxious and stressed.
• Changing attitude and reaction towards the situation in a quick yet powerful way.
• How to realize that short-term solutions are not always mutually exclusive with the long-term ones.
• Importance of tapping into your “why?”

Enjoy and stay Genius,

Anna
