Ep. 8 - Vision vs. Overwhelm: Coaching the Visionary Leader
Ever felt like your big ideas land with silence? You’re not alone. In this episode, Jada Willis and Kim Andrews debrief their conversation with visionary leader Kelly Jolley, exploring what happens when a leader’s enthusiasm collides with a team’s exhaustion.
Together, they break down the tension between vision and overwhelm, offering three practical coaching steps any leader can use to bring their team along for the ride:
- Lead with curiosity instead of defensiveness.
- Know your people and tailor how you communicate big ideas.
- Ground your vision in clarity with the “Start, Stop, Continue” model.
From managing resistance to modeling vulnerability, this episode will help you shift from dragging your team along to co-creating momentum together.
👉 Tune in for a candid, funny, and practical conversation about what it really takes to lead through growth, change, and the occasional subpar audio.
