What does it take to stop standing in the way of your own growth?

On this episode of Expect What You Accept, Doretha Bailey sits down with her mentor and friend, Jim Link, a globally respected Chief Human Resources Officer whose greatest strength isn't just leadership—it's his ability to make people feel genuinely seen, valued, and empowered.

From humble beginnings on a rural farm in western Kentucky, Jim shares how a childhood filled with freedom, hard work, and small-town values shaped the leader he is today. Earning leadership scholarships to attend college and competing on the speech and debate team became pivotal moments that helped launch the extraordinary career he's built.

That journey has taken him from a small Kentucky farm to speaking on stages before tens of thousands of people around the world, inspiring leaders and organizations through authenticity, purpose, and people-first leadership.

Join Doretha and Jim as they discuss getting out of your own way, embracing growth, and becoming the person you're meant to be.
