LeaderSIP: Let's Talk Leadership

Shannon Jakes 2 Episodes Jul 20, 2026

LeaderSIP is a podcast about leadership, life, and whatever is in our cups! Hosted by Dr. Shannon Jakes and Dr. Yara Cruz. In each episode, they pull up a chair, a bevy, and dig into the questions leaders actually wrestle with: how we handle change, how we show up under pressure, and what it takes to lead in a way that's both effective and genuinely human. Drawing on research, lived experience, and candid conversations with guests from around the globe, they move past the polished LinkedIn version of leadership to talk about what really goes on underneath the surface including the doubt, the growth, the emotional work nobody puts on the org chart.
