Leaders Lane™

This week, I sat down with Jingjing Liu, a powerhouse leader who went from thriving in the male-dominated automotive industry to founding Zazazoo, Asia’s first sexual well-being hub. And now, co-founding The Elevate Group. Her journey is one of bold transformation—stepping away from a traditional corporate path to tackle one of society’s most taboo topics: female pleasure and confidence. But this conversation isn’t just about business. It’s about the invisible pressures women face—at work, at home, and even within themselves. Why do so many women struggle with confidence in their own competence? How does embracing identity and sexuality fuel stronger leadership? And what happens when we stop conforming to outdated expectations and start leading on our own terms? Jingjing doesn’t hold back as we dive into cultural barriers, personal growth, and the power of authenticity in leadership. If you’ve ever felt like you had to play by someone else’s rules to succeed, this episode will make you rethink everything. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: ➝ Why confidence, not just competence is the biggest barrier for many women in leadership. ➝ How embracing your identity and sexuality can transform the way you lead. ➝ The hidden pressures women face in male-dominated industries—and how to break free from them. ➝ Why women are often “over-advised” and what they actually need to succeed. ➝ The role of sexual well-being in empowerment—and why no one talks about it.

This week on Leaders Lane, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Josh Perry, a former X-Games athlete who’s faced more adversity than most of us could imagine. After being diagnosed with multiple brain tumours and battling through years of physical and mental challenges, Josh became a performance coach and speaker with a unique perspective. We talk about how fear is just a thought that can be reframed (but watch out for that reframe!) and why ‘feeling your emotions’ is key to growth. His story shows us that by embracing vulnerability and authenticity, we can change our experience of life. Josh opens up about his BMX career, sharing how the sport was not only his passion but also his escape. He talks on the journey of overcoming multiple brain tumour diagnoses—how his outlook on life flipped — and what really matters to him now. We dive into the power of support systems, the importance of believing in yourself when it feels impossible, and how we can all prioritise what truly matters to us in life. This conversation is a raw, honest look at resilience, mental health, and the courage to show up as our authentic selves—even when life throws curveballs. Takeaways: CONNECT WITH JOSH PERRY 1.

In this episode, I dive into how you can transform everyday moments into engaging leadership content. Because let’s be real—nobody wants to read another dry, step-by-step guide. The best content? It’s human, relatable, and fun. I share some personal stories (because, of course, I practice what I preach) and break down why storytelling is the secret sauce to creating content that actually resonates. We’ll also talk about tone—why the way you say something is just as important as what you’re saying. A dismissive tone? That’s a fast track to losing your audience. But the right tone? That builds trust and connection. Struggling to create leadership content? You might be overlooking the stories hidden in your everyday life. Your content feels flat and forgettable. What if there was a way to make it more engaging—without overcomplicating it? Tone of voice is tricky. How do you make sure you're striking the right balance between professional and personable? People aren’t engaging with your brand. Could the missing piece be something as simple as how you're telling your story? You feel like content creation is a chore. What if I told you it could actually be fun and on-brand? So, grab your coffee (or wine, no judgment), hit play, and let’s get into it! 🎙️ Thanks for being here! CONNECT WITH ME (MONICA KADE) 1.

She's become a source of inspiration to millions through her story of determination, faith, and hope. At the age of 13, Bethany lost her left arm to a 14-foot tiger shark, which seemed to end her career as a rising surf star. One month after the attack, Bethany returned to the water and within two years had won her first national title. In 2007, she realized her dream of surfing professionally and since then, her story has been told in a New York Times best selling autobiography and in the 2011 film, Soul Surfer. Bethany is involved in numerous charitable efforts, including her own foundation, Friends of Bethany, which reaches out to amputees and youth. Using her platform as a professional athlete to promote living a fit and healthy lifestyle, she authored the book Body and Soul in 2014. Bethany’s latest project, Unstoppable, a surf documentary which showcases her as one of the best women surfers in the world, released theatrically in the USA on July 12, 2019, accompanied by a photo book and a children’s book. Passionate about helping young women be unstoppable in life and faith, Bethany has launched a new website and online course for sharing content and facilitating connection. Her greatest joy is being a wife and mother, and she continues to touch and inspire lives globally as a professional surfer and motivational speaker. Bethany is an incredible human being. Her determination and sheer drive to not let anything step in the way of her surfing is truly inspiring. She reminds me that if you really want something, you can have it…just go after it!
