What would happen if joy, curiosity, and authenticity were at the center of how you showed up at work — and in your life?
In this energizing episode of Her Unshakeable Confidence, Simone Knego sits down with speaker and leadership expert Jenn Whitmer to explore the idea of Joyosity — a powerful blend of joy, curiosity, and authenticity that transforms how we lead, communicate, and collaborate. Together, they unpack how to create more joyful workplaces, why humor fosters creativity and human connection, and how understanding personality frameworks like the Enneagram can help teams truly thrive.
This conversation is a reminder that confidence isn’t built overnight — it grows through self-awareness, intentional communication, and the courage to show up as your truest self.
