Join Rick Watson and Jessica Lesesky on The Watson Weekend as they sit down with Jenn George, Chief Communications Officer at Aspen Group. A seasoned brand leader and ultra-runner, Jenn shares her unique philosophy on simplifying the complex, finding clarity in chaos, and why communication is about steadying the humans inside a brand, not just crafting the perfect press release.
In this conversation, we dive into:
- How to find signal in the noise and create a powerful narrative that drives action.
- The importance of authenticity and vulnerability, and why it beats perfection in an age of "AI slop".
- The "know, feel, do" framework for effective communication strategies.
- Real-world examples of brands and leaders who have successfully navigated major transformations.
- How Jenn's experience as an ultra-runner taught her that our perceived limits are often not real, a lesson she applies to business leadership.
This is a must-watch for any leader who wants to master communication and build a resilient brand in today's unpredictable world.
