What separates good leaders from transformational ones? Leading By Example: Executives Making An Impact takes you inside the minds of leaders who are reshaping how we work. Emmy Award-winning host Jessica Chen—bestselling author of Smart, Not Loud and founder of Soulcast Media—uncovers the real stories behind executive leadership.
Forget the polished success narratives. These conversations reveal the formative experiences, difficult decisions, and personal reckonings that actually shape how leaders guide their organizations. From Fortune 500 executives to unique C-suite officers, guests share the moments that tested their values and defined their leadership principles—the setbacks that became breakthroughs, the unconventional paths that led to innovation, and the lived experiences that inform how they cultivate impact. Whether you’re managing a team or leading your own path, this season will inspire you to lead with confidence, authenticity, and purpose.
