EP 4: Beyond Fake it Till You Make It

Dr. Jodi Blinco shares a foundational lesson in self-accountability centered on neuroscientist Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor’s quote: "Please be responsible for the energy you bring into this space." Moving past the superficial advice of "faking it," Dr. Blinco explores how internal stress constructs an invisible vibe that deeply impacts every physical or virtual room we enter. She addresses the reality of out-of-balance energy exchanges, where leaders over-give without replenishment, and shares how to set boundaries to trade resentment for personal peace. Drawing on a humbling story from her past tenure as a campus president, she delivers a powerful reminder that leadership means losing the right to project a bad day onto others, challenging us to evaluate exactly how we want people to feel when they step away from an interaction with us.
