On this week’s episode of Real Talk With Outperformers, Brad welcomes Jules Green. Jules is an expert in leadership and inclusion, and they are currently the Director of the Food & Grocery and Growth Enabling team at Circana.
In this episode, Jules and Brad talk about all things inclusion, and the massive role it plays in business and work environments. Jules also discusses their journey as a member of the LGBTIQ+ community and their personal experiences within the workforce.


Embrace vulnerability in leadership.

Leadership is often associated with strength, confidence, and authority. Jules highlights the importance of embracing vulnerability in leadership. They share their personal journey of overcoming fear and anxiety by leaning into their truth and authenticity.

Jules’s advice to their past self is to "do it sooner" and to "eat the fear." This reflects the idea that embracing vulnerability and authenticity in leadership can lead to personal growth and empowerment. By being true to oneself and shedding the fear of judgment, leaders can create a more genuine and meaningful connection with their team members.

Jules’s philosophy of leadership revolves around bringing their full self to the team, including their skills, flaws, vulnerabilities, and humanity. They believe that by being relatable and showing genuine care for their team members, they can create a culture of respect, fellowship, and collaboration. This approach to leadership is based on building relationships, trust, and inclusivity, rather than focusing solely on tasks and outcomes.


Belonging is crucial for all.

Jules discusses their experience as an adopted person and a member of the LGBTQ+ community, emphasizing the fear of rejection that many individuals face. Their journey of acceptance and belonging within their family and chosen community underscores the importance of feeling accepted and supported.

Brad and Jules illustrate that belonging is not just a desire but a fundamental human need. The fear of rejection, whether from biological family members or society at large, can have a profound impact on an individual's sense of self-worth and identity. Jules’s experience of coming out to their family and being met with love and acceptance is a powerful example of how belonging can positively impact an individual's well-being.

The conversation also highlights the concept of chosen family within the LGBTQ+ community. For many individuals who have faced rejection from their biological families, chosen family members become a source of support and acceptance. This emphasizes the importance of building connections with individuals who accept and value you for who you are.


Lead with love, not fear.

"Lead with love, not fear" is a powerful mantra that can be applied to various aspects of life, including leadership, relationships, and decision-making. In the podcast transcript, the speaker discusses the importance of approaching situations with empathy, understanding, and a mindset of abundance rather than scarcity. By leading with love, individuals can foster a sense of connection, collaboration, and mutual respect, ultimately creating a more positive and inclusive environment.

One key aspect of leading with love is the ability to prioritize empathy and understanding in interactions with others. By taking the time to see things from different perspectives and truly listening to the concerns and experiences of others, individuals can build stronger relationships and create a more inclusive and supportive community. This approach can help to break down barriers, bridge divides, and promote a sense of unity and belonging among all individuals.

Additionally, leading with love involves embracing diversity and valuing the unique contributions and perspectives of each individual. By creating a culture that celebrates differences and encourages authenticity, organizations can harness the power of diversity to drive innovation, creativity, and success. When individuals feel valued, respected, and included, they are more likely to bring their best selves to work, collaborate effectively with others, and contribute to the overall success of the organization.
