Jennifer Hill: the CEO of your own life, conscious leadership, and the algorithm for human alignment

In this episode of The Wisdom Of … Show, Simon Bowen speaks with Jennifer Hill, CEO and co-founder of OptiMatch, co-founder of MetaBizics LLC, founder of The Jen Hill Tribe, and one of the most interesting thinkers on the question of self-leadership as the foundation for business leadership. Jennifer sold her first company in 2018, has spoken to over 100,000 people from a single stage, hosts the podcast Regarding Consciousness with guests including Bruce Lipton and Gregg Braden, and is building an alignment algorithm at OptiMatch that makes the traditionally unmeasurable work of human connection systematic.

Jennifer and Simon build a live visual model in the episode - the CEO of Your Own Life Framework, a three-pillar architecture of Clarity, Courage, and Connection built on the foundation of a regulated nervous system.
