In this powerful episode of Mirror Talk: Soulful Conversations, Tobi sits down with leadership advisor and author Jennifer Jensen, founder of Authentic Leader and author of Developing Authentic Leaders. Together, they explore what it truly means to lead from the inside out — with courage, humility, and purpose.

Jennifer shares her inspiring journey from growing up on a pig farm to guiding executives and emerging leaders through transformational growth. Drawing from faith, resilience, and decades of experience in corporate environments, she offers timeless wisdom on self-awareness, vulnerability, and influence without authority.

Whether you’re leading a team, an organisation, or your own life, this conversation invites you to reflect on who you are becoming — and how authenticity can transform the way you lead.

Listen and learn:

• What separates authentic leaders from title-holders
• How resilience and faith fuel effective leadership
• Practical steps to grow as a confident, humble, and self-aware leader
• Why vulnerability is key to trust and collaboration
• How to reconnect with your purpose and lead with integrity
