🎙️Change Leader Insights: Jen Coken, Executive Leadership Coach, Speaker, Best-Selling Author

In this episode of Change Leader Insights, Jessica Crow speaks with Jen Coken, an internationally recognized executive leadership coach, speaker, and best-selling author, about the “inner game” of leadership and how women can own their authority, lead authentically, and overcome imposter moments.

Featured on ABC, MSNBC, and TEDx, Jen has 25 years of experience empowering leaders to break barriers and lead boldly. Known for her no-nonsense style and relatable humor, she has coached nearly 10,000 global leaders, including Fortune 1000 CEOs, to drive meaningful transformation. Her book, Make Imposter Syndrome Your Superpower, gives women in STEM actionable tools to turn self-doubt into a leadership advantage. Through retreats, keynotes, and coaching programs, she equips women to claim their authority and inspire lasting change.

During the conversation, Jen shares her journey from working in male-dominated industries to creating a coaching practice that helps women lead people, projects, and change as their authentic selves, without code-switching, downplaying accomplishments, or abandoning their intuition. Her philosophy centers on building inner authority (authenticity) and outer influence (inspiring teams), while also managing the “hidden leader” moments when self-doubt or external criticism can cause leaders to shrink.

Highlights from the conversation include:

☑️ The four leadership types and how they can help leaders guide teams through change more effectively

☑️ How to address high performers who create resistance or undermine transformation efforts

☑️ Tools for overcoming self-doubt, and how to position yourself for leadership during times of transition
