The Magnetic Leader

Lisa Jeffs

🎙️ Welcome to The Magnetic Leader Podcast You've built real success. So why does leading still feel this hard? Reclaim Your Authority — Conscious Leadership in Life & Business This is the leadership podcast for the executive, founder, and business owner who is the person everyone else leans on, the one who reads the room before anyone else does, carries more than their share, and still lies awake overthinking decisions they should feel confident about. You're not lacking capability. You're lacking someone who can see what's actually going on underneath, the overthinking, the self-doubt, the empathy that makes you exceptional and also exhausting to carry. I'm Lisa Jeffs — Executive Coach, Life Coach, Intuitive, and bestselling author. With 20 years in human development and 12+ years coaching high-level leaders, I built this podcast because I am that person. I know exactly what it costs to be highly perceptive, deeply driven, and still question yourself in rooms where everyone assumes you have all the answers. My approach blends practical leadership strategy with deep inner and intuitive work — because the leaders I work with don't just need better tactics. They need someone to find what's actually in the way. Every episode of this conscious leadership podcast gives you the tools to lead with authority under pressure, quiet the overthinking, and show up as the leader you already are... not the one still waiting to feel ready. Subscribe. The leader you're capable of being is closer than you think.   Learn More Here > Main Website: https://lisajeffs.com FOLLOW LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisajeffs/ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/lisa_jeffs/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/lisajeffscoach/ Apply for a Test-Drive Consult: https://lisajeffs.youcanbook.me/  FREE GIFT: https://www.purposeacademypro.com/f/meet-your-inner-saboteur-guided-visualizationSelf Love Journal: For the Woman Who Gives A Lot: https://a.co/d/6sAHvDh This podcast is not a substitute for therapy, medical or financial advice.

    How to Be Respected at Work (Stop Losing Authority in Conversations)

    Send a text with a question you want answered on a podcast episode!! If you’ve ever been overlooked, second-guessed, or passed up by someone who isn’t as capable as you, this episode will probably resonate.  This isn’t about your skill or how good you are at what you do. It’s about what’s happening in the moments where people decide whether they trust you to lead. A lot of high-performing people lose respect in subtle ways... they soften in conversations, over-explain decisions, or leave room for things to be negotiated when they shouldn’t be. They’re trying to be easy to work with… accommodating.  …but that’s often the exact moment their authority  In this episode, I walk through what people are actually picking up on when they decide if they respect you or not, and how small shifts in how you show up can change that quickly. We talk about:  why being liked and being respected aren’t the same thing  how follow-through and self-trust shape how seriously people take you  where your standards and boundaries might be getting lost  how to be clear and direct without becoming cold or harsh If you know you’re operating at a high level but it’s not being reflected back to you, this will help you see why, and what to change. If you want support with this, you can book a Test Drive Consult at lisajeffs.com. We’ll look at what’s actually happening in your specific situations and give you a specific road map to move forward.  Support the show Thanks for Listening! We appreciate you.
