  • 342. Oversaturated
    Apr 15 2025

    This week, Pete brings a dilemma to Jen, that he is feeling oversaturated in terms of leadership content, and together, they work to find solutions. (And some of them may surprise you!)

    Specifically, in this episode Jen and Pete talk about:

    • What does it mean to feel oversaturated, and what might cause that feeling?
    • Why is it important to learn empathy through many different pathways?
    • Why might we need to shift our learning to a more broad scope, as opposed to a narrow concentration?

    Specifically, in this episode Jen and Pete talk about:

    • How might we take more ownership of our work and our responsibilities?
    • Why is it important to think about your team, when working towards a collective goal?
    • How might we keep ourselves accountable, and find self-empowerment?
