Drinking With Gin Ginny Priem

Emily Jaenson’s motto is “Be so good they won’t forget you!” and she lives this motto each day in her work as a keynote speaker for companies and employee resource groups across the US teaching them to empower their confidence, achieve their biggest goals, and use their voice to make a difference for themselves and their communities.

Jaenson leads a podcast, Leadership is Female, where she interviews executives so that she and her guests can lead the next generation of leadership forward. The show is in the Top 10% of most followed podcasts worldwide and Top 200 Business podcasts, globally.

Emily’s 2022 TEDx talk on confidence reached over 3 million views in one year. Emily speaks on the topic of confidence, goal setting, and intention to companies and organizations around the world. 

Emily Jaenson grew up in northern Illinois and attended the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign graduating from the College of Media with a degree in Advertising.  To pursue her dream of working in sports, Jaenson turned down an ad agency offer to intern with the Chicago Bulls ticket department where she sold season and group tickets during the 2005-2006 season. 80 calls a day, hitting the phones, to fill the United Center on game day truly taught her that the fans are the lifeblood of any sports organization and sales is the foundation of any business. 

Jaenson went on to work for Muscular Dystrophy Association in Chicago leading fundraising and partnership efforts across events, programs, and partnerships. She later ran a small marketing agency. In 2013 the Reno Aces, a Triple-A Minor League baseball team and affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks, came calling where Jaenson grew from sponsorship account executive to Vice President in two years. 

In 2016 Jaenson left Reno with her family for Houston where she had a chance to volunteer for Super Bowl 51, worked as Sales Director on the World Corporate Games Houston and the inaugural Houston Sports Awards Show, and worked for Houston Methodist, the number one hospital in Texas, to manage business development through their sports partnerships. 

Emily returned to the Reno Aces to serve as General Manager in 2018-2022. Jaenson became the first female general manage in Triple-A Baseball in nearly 20 years. 

Above all, Emily is a devoted wife and adoring mother. She is an avid runner, wholeheartedly passionate about leadership, instilling confidence, and relentlessly seeking thrilling adventures.

Do not sleep on this episode! So many of us struggle with confidence and authenticity -- ESPECIALLY when it comes to social media and how we show up online.

Giselle takes us to "social media church" and gives us practical tips and tricks on the secret(s) to showing up on social media as your most authentic self. She touches on imposter syndrome, body image, breaking out of your comfort zone, women supporting women, and more.

You are going to want to grab a pen and paper to write down the key take aways -- and this episode is PACKED with tons of gems. She does drop a few swear words and we are here for it! LOL

She helps us humanize and gives perspective on how we get to choose what we share on social media.

You are going to reflect on how you use comparison in your life and tap into how happy you truly are with yourself, your own success and your own life and how that shows up. Do you like yourself, love yourself and respect yourself?

Giselle even opens up and share some health struggles that she experienced and how this impacted her self-image and how this led to her passion behind going filter free.

Are you putting walls up or are you allowing yourself to receive love...unconditionally?

This conversation is REAL, deep, authentic, empowering, inspiring and fun!!

She's a cheerleader, coach, supporter, inspiration and someone you want to be friends with and have in your life!

Try her tips and tag her (and Ginny!) on your social media: A filter-free, makeup free, a recycled photo, pin a post at the top of your page, or a reintroduction post!

You can't change the people around you, but you can change the people around you. Read that again!

It's important to keep in mind that you can't change people's behaviors or actions. You can only change your own. But you can change the people in your community. You're only as good as the company you keep.

Narcissists will often discard people that they can't control or are no longer giving them the supply they want. The motivation behind this is different than a healthy person -- it's usually to find peace or to protect yourself when making a decision to no longer engage with someone that is bringing toxicity to your life.

If you are working to remove narcissists or other dangerous personalities from your life, you may want to consider utilizing the grey rock method. Tune into Season 1, Episode 18 for more on this.

When you change, grow and evolve, sometimes the people around you are uncomfortable with your growth as it highlights that they may not be growing. They may be used to an older version of you and might not like this.

When you remove negative and toxic energy from your life, it creates space to invest in the healthy and meaningful relationships in your life to flourish. These relationships become deeper and you also naturally welcome into your life more warm, loving & authentic people into your community as well.

You can always come back to paying attention to your emotional bank account and notice how interactions leave you feeling.

This tip came from needing the reminder herself after last week's ROR (React, Observe, Respond) episode as well as the topic of being busy in last week's newsletter.

Mercury is in retrograde AND it's a solar eclipse -- maybe that's why strange things have been happening?! 😂

Here's the tip: Don't take it personally. Someone's reaction is rarely about you, but it's always about them.

You can use this tool she shares about how to add some perspective and objectivity about how you react and respond to situations. It's about looking at how much impact this situation has right now and then in periods of time in the future. How important will this be in 3 seconds, 3 minutes, 3 hours, 3 weeks....etc?

Can you relate? Did you need to hear this? Answer in the poll!

In this episode, Ginny opens up about a recent experience on reacting and shifting that to responding. A big part of that is the observation component. On a Peloton ride, the concept of ROR developed - React, Observe, Respond. The shift in the process from recognizing and observing the reaction and moving to a response that brought peace was profound. A response is an observed reaction. How can you incorporate this into your life?
