Lead Through It with Kim and Jada
Ep. 15 - Struggling With What to Say? Ask Yourself This.
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this bite-sized laser session, Jada and Kim break down one of the toughest parts of leadership: knowing what to share, how much to share, and when to share it. Inspired by their recent conversation with Sarah Kelley on leading through grief, this episode dives into the real tension leaders feel when navigating big, heavy moments like the loss of a teammate, ethical breaches, organizational uncertainty, or high-stakes personnel issues.
If you have ever wondered whether your transparency is helpful, overwhelming, or not enough, this episode gives you a simple framework to guide your communication: pause and ask, What is my goal in sharing this? What do I need?
Kim and Jada unpack why under-sharing can spark fear, why over-sharing can create unintended stress, and how leaders can walk that middle path with clarity and intention. They offer practical, usable questions you can take into your next conversation and encourage you to reflect for ten minutes after listening to apply this toolkit immediately.
Perfect for leaders who want quick clarity, grounded support, and a nudge toward more thoughtful communication.
If today’s conversation resonated, connect with us and be part of the community of leaders who refuse to lead alone.
