In this insightful episode of Beauty Bytes with Dr. Kay, Jen Kim, a renowned marketing and branding expert and author of the book "The Unicorn Team," is interviewed. Jen, recognized by Forbes as a top brand strategist, shares her groundbreaking philosophy on leadership and team building, emphasizing that true brand success hinges on the collective energy of the humans involved.

Jen introduces her unique concept of "energetic leadership types" – Visionizers, Strategizers, and Mobilizers – and explains how understanding these dynamics within your team can unlock a flow state of "unicorn energy."
