How to Build a Sustainble High Performance Team with Jen Singhal

There's a common misconception that certain industries or roles are simply high-stress and that's "the way it is and the way it's always been." I don't buy it.

Today we're joined by Jen Singhal, a leader who knows what it means to build a team's performance while sustaining (in fact measurably improving!) their wellbeing. She's proven both are possible, and in this episode she graciously breaks down what it took, the tools and practices, that got her team there. Her coaching leadership style is fascinating and you'll have so many takeaways that you can implement immediately.

In part one of this episode we talk about:

What Jen’s leadership career trajectory has looked like (10:15)
How her background in sports impacts her leadership style (15:43)
The unique features of leadership and goal setting as a result of team sports (18:29)
How fun can and should be part of team dynamics (21:20)
Balancing your teams limits (self-imposed or otherwise) (22:20)
The importance of safety given uncertain times (25:03)
Building high performance while sustaining wellbeing (27:02)
Reducing barriers that were holding the team back (30:04)
The practice that changed the game for her team (33:03)
The rules of gratitude and celebration (36:30)
The lived experience of psychological safety (41:00)
Coaching through discomfort (45:30)
Purpose in the workplace (47:40)
