ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
In this episode of Blueprint Breakers, Amy A. Palmer sits down with Lisa Jones, host of The Leadership Story podcast and a recognized expert in business continuity and resilience. With over 20 years of experience helping organizations navigate disruption, Lisa shares how her personal story mirrors the very work she does professionally.
Raised in a family of strong, independent women, Lisa internalized both the expectation to be self-sufficient and the pressure to stay quiet and “not cause waves.” She followed parts of the traditional blueprint… but like many women, found herself navigating career uncertainty, burnout, and a lack of intentional direction.
This conversation explores how Lisa began to question long-held patterns, move beyond people-pleasing, and step into a more intentional, self-led chapter of life, including launching her own podcast and reclaiming her voice.
