You Can’t Fix What’s Not Broken: A Leadership Conversation with Jesse León
Reclaiming Wisdom, Empathy and Real Leadership in Complex Times
Many leaders are navigating high-pressure environments where complexity, urgency, and competing priorities can make it difficult to lead with clarity and intention. Too often, leadership models focus on fixing what appears broken—without recognizing the strengths, lived experience, and insight already present.
In this Learning Lab, Leadership Reimagined coach and author Jesse León draws from I’m Not Broken and introduces his RAISE Framework™, a practical leadership approach grounded in clarity, empathy, and scalable impact. In conversation with Elisabeth Garrett Keiser, Jesse will explore how leaders can shift from reaction to intentional action, build trust within teams and organizations, and navigate complexity without ego.
Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of how to:
recognize strengths while removing barriers to progress
create space for honest, necessary conversations
invest in people and leadership development that actually works
align resources for long-term impact
build systems that sustain results beyond short-term fixes
This session is designed as both a reflective conversation and a practical leadership dialogue for those leading in complex, high-stakes environments.
