Lead Through It with Kim and Jada
Back to Basics: Leading Through It in 2025
In this episode, Jada and Kim get real about what it means to lead in 2025, a year already marked by uncertainty, whiplash, and constant change. From funding cuts and political shifts to burnout and pressure on high-performers, they unpack the realities leaders are facing and why “back to basics” is the key strategy right now.
Jada shares how she grew and sold her HR consulting firm by leaning into crisis moments, like the chaos of COVID, and how solving urgent, immediate problems fueled massive growth. Together, Jada and Kim offer practical tools leaders can apply today: asking the right questions, identifying the one thing that matters most, shrinking the change, and rallying your people instead of going it alone.
Whether you’re a CEO, nonprofit leader, or entrepreneur, this conversation will remind you that progress, not perfection, creates resilience.
If today’s conversation resonated, connect with us and be part of the community of leaders who refuse to lead alone.
