ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Can you balance it all—career, family, and personal growth?
Brave Bets Founder Jackie Yeaney believes the answer is yes, with some ‘ifs and buts’ in between. For her, it requires understanding people and embracing the trade-offs life throws your way.
In The Standup, Jackie reflects on how her people-centered leadership style has shaped her journey, from a bold career pivot at Delta Air Lines to mentoring unconventional hires at Tableau. Jackie also shares times her career took a back seat to her family life (and vice versa), crystallizing her philosophy that you can have it all, but perhaps not all at once.
