In this episode of the Self-employed Life, I had the great pleasure of speaking with the author of the collaborative book Embracing Ambition, Jenny Mitchell. We discussed things every person can learn from the stories of women CEOs on their way to leadership. Jenny explains topics such as the glass cliff and collaboration. Her experiences as a business woman gives her valuable insights into the world of business and enables her to give incredible advice to anyone who is entering, or has already entered, the business world.
Chavender’s vision is to help more people do more good. Founder and president of Chavender, Jenny Mitchell (CFRE, DMA) is the author of the collaborative book Embracing Ambition which showcases 12 women CEOs on their journey to leadership. Jenny’s podcast, Underdog Leadership helps women move from #2’s to #1’s in their life and work. Trained as a professional fundraiser, she is passionate about working with heart-centered leaders who are ready to change the world – one mission at a time. Her company assists clients, across Canada and the U.S., with executive coaching, talent development at all levels of the organization, and facilitation and team building.

She brings her creative approach, her drive for excellence, and her passion for people to clients of all sizes.
