Today joining Tacey in the Customer’s First Boardroom is Jeanne Collins, an award-winning interior designer and author of “Two Feet In-Lessons from an All in Life,” a book chronicling her journey to find inner peace and balance after being fired from her corporate job. Jeanne shares her experiences transitioning from a high-stress corporate job to pursuing her passion for interior design and writing. She emphasizes the importance of self-reflection, defining oneself beyond a job title, and prioritizing life-work balance. Jeanne also discusses the significance of trusting oneself, quieting negative inner dialogue, and leading by example to cultivate a positive organizational culture. Jeanne reveals that becoming a mother was a transformational experience that taught her how to emotionally connect with others, a skill she had to learn later in life and wants to help others learn.
