Welcome back to The Ripple Effect
Podcast. Today’s conversation is one of those interviews
that sticks with you long after it ends.
Meet Jen Newbill.
Jen brings over 25 years of HR experience across talent
acquisition, leadership development, learning and development, and
HR operations. She has coached leaders and executives in both
startup and large enterprise environments and completed the Awaken
Coach Institute, an ICF-accredited coaching program. Throughout her
career, Jen has led large, complex programs and teams of more than
50 employees, with a deep passion for feedback, coaching, and
leadership growth.
Most recently, Jen served as Global Director of Emerging Talent
Recruiting at Dell Technologies, where she led employer branding
efforts for students and early-career talent. Over her 21-year
tenure at Dell, she held multiple leadership roles across
recruiting, leadership development, HR operations, and employment
branding, including launching and growing Dell’s global
talent-attraction and employment brand team. Her work emphasized
engagement, collaboration, trust, and data-driven
decision-making.
A strong advocate for workplace transparency, Jen was named a
Glassdoor Top Talent Warrior and has served on advisory boards for
CareerXRoads, Glassdoor, and Universum. She has been featured in
major publications and is a frequent podcast guest and conference
speaker. Jen is also a certified CliftonStrengths coach, a 200-hour
certified yoga teacher, and a certified meditation teacher,
bringing a whole-person, strengths-based approach to her leadership
and team coaching.
If you are a leader, executive, or people manager who feels like
performance reviews miss the mark, employee engagement is slipping,
or burnout is quietly taking over your team, listen until the
end.
Jen brings a strengths-based leadership lens to everything she does
as a CliftonStrengths certified coach, and she breaks down how you
can use tools like Gallup StrengthsFinder to build high-performing
teams, improve leadership communication, and create a
strengths-based culture that lasts.
We talk about why so many employees feel uninvested at work, how
leaders can become better listeners, and why relationship-building
at work is more important than ever in today’s corporate
environment.
This conversation is honest, practical, and grounded in real
corporate experience. If you are looking for a better way to lead,
inspire, and perform without burning yourself or your people out,
you are in the right place.
