Episode 97: Mental Health in the Workplace with Jennifer Dobberfuhl-Quinlan & David Macfarlane

Sometimes interviews are so good you have to share them twice. This week on The Relevant Leadership Podcast, I'm re-sharing my interview with Jena Hausmann, President and CEO of Colorado Children’s Hospital. I originally titled this episode Dang Good Leadership Advice and I'm sticking with it. Jena Hausmann is the President and CEO of Children’s Hospital in Colorado, one of the leading children’s hospitals in the world.  Jena is a tremendous leader and an even better person.  As I listened back to this interview I thought, “This is dang good leadership advice!”  Jena shares her knowledge on women in leadership, being aware of the culture you are creating, the importance of being authentic in leadership, how important failure can be and much more.  Find our more about Jena at https://www.childrenscolorado.org/about/news/2015/april-2015/jena-hausmann-ceo/

Last week we lost my good friend, Mark Eaton, suddenly. He was a great man, husband, speaker, author & athlete. To honor him I wanted to reshare my podcast interview with Mark. Mark has an amazing story of grit and scrappiness that got him to the NBA and fueled a career as a speaker and the author of Four Commitments of A Winning Team. We talked basketball, teamwork and what it takes to be an all star in whatever you do.
