Susan, your host, welcomes Jen Thomas, Intuitive Business Coach, and Healer, to today's episode.
Jen is a leader and advocate of working with emotions in business. She was invited to give her TEDx talk, "Putting Emotion Back in Business," inspiring others to lead with love, kindness, and compassion. Jen is an intuitive coach and spiritual mentor who helps business owners to access their inner wisdom by working with their emotions to clear blocks and create crystal-clear strategies for success.
