BOSS Talk unites entrepreneurial women through stories about their experiences - the good, the bad and the real. Far too often, we only see the highlight reels of entrepreneurship so during this podcast we dive into those candid conversations that aren’t typically featured on social media platforms - especially those moments that haven’t quite hit the mark as planned. BOSS Talk will both challenge and motivate you to build the life and business you want by battling overwhelm with systems and self-care. If you’re listening and find yourself overwhelmed in your business right now, head over to lavistajones.com and schedule a connection call today.

036: The Power of Authentic Leadership and Work-Life Balance with James Christensen

Nov 28, 2023

“I don't think we have to have a work life and a home life. I think we can just have a life, and they ought to blend together.” - James Christensen

 

In this episode of BOSS™ Talk, I am joined by James Christensen, the dynamic leader at the helm of Gateway Bank, Mesa Arizona's one-and-only community bank. With keen business acumen, James has nurtured Gateway Bank into a high performing and respected financial institution. Apart from his corporate prowess, his fervor for community development is admirable, leading to him being named Mesa Citizen of the Year in 2023. Passionate about financial literacy, James frequently engages audiences with insightful talks aimed at improving financial well-being. His evolution from a workaholic to an advocate for work-life balance is a testament to his adaptability and wisdom.
