Leadership Beyond Burnout with Guest Jennifer Hawkins
Meet Jennifer Hawkins is the founder of Launched Performance, a leadership advisory firm
that helps executives build enterprise-level strategists and scale next-gen leadership
before the Boomer and Gen X wave of retirements hits.
She’s known for developing strong leadership benches inside high-pressure environments, and she brings a track record of transforming underperforming teams into top producers across five industries.
Jennifer stepped into leadership at 25, outperformed seasoned supervisors, and quickly
rose through the ranks.
At 29, she bought the worst-performing Sylvan Learning Center in the country on her credit card and turned it into a top 20% performer through two recessions (9-11 and 2008).
Later, she built and led blood banking operations across 7 states while managing her son’s leukemia battle from a hospital room for 2 ½ years,
scaling systems, leading remote teams, and growing through chaos and crisis.
Today, through her signature Shift Method, Jennifer partners with executives and HR
leaders to prepare mid-level leaders for succession, equip them with strategic acumen
and proven systems to ensure no legacy is left without someone ready to carry it
forward. Build the team, grow the leader, scale the company.
