“Great teams aren’t built on the brilliance of individuals but on the strength of their connections. Collaboration requires trust, empathy, and the willingness to put the collective good above individual egos. When people feel valued and heard, they contribute their best. The most successful teams create environments where innovation and belonging go hand in hand.”

Strategy, Leadership, and the Soul: Resilience, responsiveness and reflection for a global economy.
Strategy consultant Jennifer Sertl is an internationally recognized influencer in social media and the president and founder of Agility3R, a leadership development company. In 2010, she co-wrote a book: Strategy, Leadership, and the Soul: Resilience, responsiveness and reflection for a global economy.
Ahead of its time, the book set out the new era of digitized, hyperconnected globalisation and explored what this meant for leaders, business strategy and communication.
In this illuminating conversation, Cat, Jen and Dom discuss the importance of authenticity in internal communication, not least in the age of generative AI. As we navigate continuous change and market ambiguity, Jennifer’s insights have lots to offer progressively-minded internal communicators.

- Soulful communication is essential in the workplace.
- AI cannot replace the need for trust and human connection.
- Language and conversation have the power to shift perspectives and shape leadership.
- Creating a safe space for leaders to practice and learn is crucial. Authentic leadership requires curiosity, vulnerability, and the ability to listen and learn.
- Leaders need to trust themselves and create environments where others can trust themselves as well.
Dare to Un-lead with Celine Schillinger
“It is not an era of information overload; it is an era for strengthening our personal filters and creating space for our own internal navigation system to support our presence and sense of being.” In these times of technology idolatry, Jennifer Sertl’s voice is an important one. She urges us to resist the false convenience that tools offer, and to cultivate our most human skills of introspection, of courage, and relatedness. By being more intensely present to ourselves and to others, we create more possibilities to thrive as people and as businesses.

Tech, Crypto, and the Evolution of Money | SIBOS 2023 Panel
Jennifer Sertl, Founder Agility3R, hosts a dynamic panel at SIBOS 2023 with the dream team of Dr. Leda Glyptis, #LedaWrites; Tom Zschach, CIO, SWIFT; and Brett King, certainly no introduction needed here!, sitting in the panelists seats for Innotribe’s Future of Money. We’re in the midst of a transition, money historically has been the universal medium of exchange, a unit that signifies worth. As we venture deeper into the 21st century, the notion has been broadened and reshaped with tech advances, decentralized finance and other digital assets changing the concept of money and challenging the essence of value exchange. This transition extends to how value is perceived, created and distributed. It’s the last of its class … next year it’s the Future of Value!
20 Characteristics of a Transleader
What the world needs now is beyond leadership; what is required is Transleadership.
So many books are written on leadership and strategy. Few are written to remind the leader of his or her internal brilliance. That is what we hoped to have accomplished. We desire deeply to support your ability to trust yourself.
When we talk about innovation, oftentimes we think about those in technology. But innovation goes beyond artificial intelligence, robotics, and quantum computing. Beyond the bits and bytes, it is also about changing mindsets and thinking critically and differently. It is about being comfortable with the uncomfortable. It is about allowing ourselves the time and opportunity to learn to be clumsy and to embrace failure as part of our journey. In this episode of One Vision, Theo chats with Jennifer Sertl, Founder and President of Agility3R and Adjunct Professor at RIT, on innovation and the importance of cross-pollination. Perhaps it’s time to slow down and imagine a little.
"Leadership is about creating coherence in the midst of complexity. It’s not about having all the answers, but about asking the right questions."
