🎧 Episode 157: Mind, Body & Leadership with Brynn Scarborough (Part 2)
In this continuation of our conversation with Brynn Scarborough, President and CEO of JK Products & Services North America, we dive deeper into practical wellness strategies and the psychological aspects of leadership. Brynn shares her personal routines, the power of journaling, and why vulnerability might be a leader's greatest strength.
We explore:
- The transformative power of "I am" statements and gratitude journaling
- How to manage pressure and expectations as a woman leader
- The importance of sustainable wellness practices rather than "running the tank until destroyed"
- Non-negotiable daily routines that keep high-performing leaders at their best
- Why asking for help requires courage and persistence, especially in a hybrid work environment
- Creating psychological safety for yourself and your team
- The value of learning from failures rather than successes
🔑 Key takeaways:
- Journaling creates a tangible record of growth that helps you appreciate your evolution
- Reframing self-talk from "I should" to "I am" can reprogram your brain through subliminal priming
- Sustainable wellness means finding practices you enjoy that can be easily integrated into your life
- Sleep, hydration, supplements, and consistent movement form the foundation of daily wellness
- Women often hesitate to ask for help due to fear of rejection or appearing vulnerable
- True leadership is demonstrated by how you get back up after falling, not how you succeed
- Life is short—focus on what truly matters rather than temporary discomforts or anxieties
