Jen Recla is a leadership coach, facilitator, and adventure-seeker who helps leaders navigate their workload, build team trust, and lead with clarity, even when demands are high and resources are thin. With 15+ years in leadership, coaching, and organizational development, she brings a practical yet energizing approach to helping mission-driven leaders feel more capable and connected in their work. Key Takeaways: Community building strengthens both personal and professional life, creating resilience and collaboration that support growth. Sustainable achievement requires focusing on priorities, setting boundaries, and celebrating gains rather than chasing endless tasks. Feedback cultures thrive on psychological safety, with leaders modeling behaviors that shape healthy and sustainable team norms. Core values such as fun, adventure, and growth provide direction, energize leadership, and create authentic, purpose-driven work. “Some of the signs [of burnout] that I've seen with individuals really are dependent on who they are. So I think getting to know people, getting to know what makes them tick, what strengths they have, has been really helpful in my position as a leader in the past, and as a coach now as well.” “We focused on what the gains are… individually, for your team, for the organization - so that they could really see the progress and momentum that they've made. It’s a way to pull people out of the downward spiral and really focus on the momentum and continuing to build that momentum.” “The starting place is really to take a step back, zoom out, and focus on what's important to you, what's your purpose, what's driving you? What are your values? What are your goals?” - Jen Recla Reach out to Jen Recla at: Website: www.jenrecla.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenniferrecla Let’s Work Together to Amplify Your Leadership + Influence 1.
