This episode features the High Leverage Practice of “As If “ with Dr. Jen Gresham. As a biochemist poet, her life and career moves have been the epitome of “proceed until apprehended”. Every career step thrust Jen into a space she didn’t feel prepared for. But she learned to embrace her vulnerabilities sharing “I’ve always trusted myself to simply figure things out. I don’t know exactly where that comes from, but it certainly has always been there. I don’t mean to say it’s always worked out how I thought it would work out, but I trusted that something juicy would happen and it always did.” From the Air Force Academy to being the founder of Work for Humanity, Jen shares her not to miss journey of “As If “with incredible wit and a generous heart.
