Leadership coach Jo-Aynne von Born joins host Alan Krieger to explore the power of clear communication, energy-based leadership, and authentic connection. Jo-Aynne shares why clarity is the cornerstone of effective leadership—and how most leaders think they're being clear when they’re often not. She explains how her unique blend of Engage and Analyze T.E.A.M. communication styles helps her connect across different leadership types, especially when working with fast-paced “Tell” leaders.
The conversation also covers preventing burnout through energy management—helping people lean into their strengths to stay motivated and productive. Jo-Aynne emphasizes leadership as a way of being, not just a job title, and shares practical tips for making training interactive, human, and unforgettable.
Jo-Aynne is a professionally certified executive coach and former senior corporate leader with over two decades' experience and 1,000 coaching hours. Blending neuroscience with her A.W.A.K.E.N. Framework, she guides individuals and organizations to clarify priorities, forge values-driven cultures of trust, and achieve measurable performance gains without burnout.
