SUMMARY:ONLINE AUTHOR TALK: “Like a Wave We Break” featuring Jane Ma
 rie Chen
DESCRIPTION:In her national bestselling memoir\, Like a Wave We Break\,
  leadership coach Jane Chen pulls back the curtain on the conventional n
 arrative of professional success. As the co-founder and former CEO of Em
 brace Global\, Jane’s groundbreaking work with a portable incubator im
 pacted over one million premature babies across 25 countries\, earning i
 nternational acclaim. Yet\, behind the global recognition lay an invisib
 le crisis: a relentless pursuit of purpose that ultimately resulted in t
 otal burnout. Her journey through that breakdown and subsequent healing 
 reshaped her entire approach to what it means to guide others through un
 certainty and change.\n\nMany modern leaders find themselves trapped in 
 a similar cycle\, treating leadership as a purely intellectual or strate
 gic exercise while ignoring the immense emotional and physical toll it t
 akes. This disconnect leads to unmanaged stress\, reactive decision-maki
 ng\, and organizational fatigue.\nThis webinar offers a masterclass in s
 hifting from fear-based performance to sustainable\, aligned leadership.
  \nDrawing from her executive background and her training with the Consc
 ious Leadership Group\, Jane bridges the gap between high-level leadersh
 ip strategy and deep self-actualization. Participants will analyze how t
 he intersection of emotional literacy and physical intuition can transfo
 rm executive paralysis into clear\, decisive action. Whether you are an 
 executive steering a team through a major pivot or an individual seeking
  to align your daily work with your core values\, this session provides 
 a science-backed\, deeply human blueprint for resilient leadership.\n\n 
 Wednesday\, August 5th\n\n 12:00 PM noon\n\n Online / Virtual: https:/
