A Guide to Increasing Your Confidence: How to go from too shy to order a pizza to unstoppable!  My Book! \u2014 Emily Jaenson - Keynote Speaker   Emily Jaenson.The first female in almost 20 years to earn the role of GM in Triple A Baseball. I think I can just end the notes here with that sentence. But I will give you a preview of my incredible conversation with Emily:  What goes into being a GM  The most challenging part of leading a team and how she tackles it  What four questions she asks her direct reports every week (so smart!)  What her direct reports do well when they come to her  Why she thought she was going to be a trainer (p.s. Representation Matters!)  Why she took a step backwards to take a step forward in sports Why she made the decision to only take two weeks off for her maternity leave  What happened on her first day back from maternity leave  The story she tells that she says makes her sound crazy (I don\u2019t think so!)   Links: Leadership is Female Podcast: https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/leadership-is-female\/id1523360981 Jahaan\u2019s Episode on Leadership is Female: https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/a-champion-for-womens-success-in-sports-jahaan-blake\/id1523360981?i=1000501590238 Canva: https:\/\/www.canva.com\/    Connect with Emily:  Instagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/EmilyJaenson\/  Linkedin: https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/emilyjaenson\/    Emily Jaenson\u2019s motto is \u201cBe so good they won\u2019t forget you!\u201d and this motto has carried her through her career on a non-linear path to General Manager of the Triple-A Reno Aces.  Upon accepting this role, Jaenson became the first female in Triple-A to hold the GM role in nearly 20 years.  Jaenson\u2019s role as GM is to lead day to day business operations for baseball, including the event experience, community engagement, marketing and media, and contribute to the sponsorship team.    Emily is on a mission to bring excellence and intention to her job every day so that she can shine the light for other women to pursue roles traditionally held by men. Jaenson leads a podcast, Leadership is Female, where she interviews executives in sport so that she and her guests can lead the next generation of female leadership forward.   Jaenson is married to Shawn Jaenson, a Navy veteran, and has two young sons, Magnus and Anders.   Connect with Jahaan:  Instagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/jahaanblake\/ Email: jblake@jahaanblake.com Website: https:\/\/jahaanblake.com\/ LinkedIn: https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/jahaanblake\/ ","author_name":"Game of Her Own","author_url":"https:\/\/thejblakegroup.com\/","html":"
