Summary

Jamie Lee is an executive coach who specializes in women and underrepresented leaders who are "allergic" to risky conversations and office politics. She focuses on helping them get promoted and better paid without compromising their integrity or throwing anyone under the bus. In her practice, she blends proven self-advocacy strategies with evidence-based neuroplasticity tools. For over a decade, Jamie has trained thousands of professionals in effective self-advocacy at leading organizations, including Citi, Unilever, Association of Corporate Counsel, American College of Cardiologists, UC Berkeley School of Business, and Smith College. She's also the host of the Risky Conversations podcast, where she has honest talks with thought leaders on topics often considered taboo or "too risky" at work -- negotiation, mental and reproductive health, office politics, social injustices, and unconventional ways smart women navigate their path forward despite a flawed workplace. Listen in to hear Jamie share: How deepening her understanding of herself and her identity as a Korean immigrant woman helped her become a better self-advocate when she realized she was being significantly underpaid at work How our development of self-advocacy is not just about us, but also an act of service How she overcame the assumption that women need to earn their power in order to see that women actually need to claim their power The connection between self-advocacy, shame, and power How women can use anger to activate motivation The science of successful negotiation by decentering yourself How to use Zen practices and neuroscience to inform to rewrite your internal narratives and unlock your greatest potential Links Mentioned: Connect with Jamie: https://www.jamieleecoach.com Jamie on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leejieunjamie Jamie on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieleecoach Listen to Jamie’s interview with Sara on Risky Conversations: https://podcast.jamieleecoach.com/ Book: The Heart Sutra Book: Open Focus Brain Connect with Sara: saradean.com Watch Shameless Leadership episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@saradeanspeaks Interested in becoming a sponsor of the Shameless Mom Academy?
