Ever walked into a room wondering if you really belonged there? Like they're going to find out you don't actually know what you're doing? Here's what Jen Mueller will tell you: If you're in the room, you're supposed to be there. Stop selling past the close. In this episode, Sarah welcomes Jen Mueller, founder of Talk Sporty to Me, to talk about the small wins that build unshakable confidence. They unpack why "hello" became Jen's measure of success, how bubble gum moments prove your small actions are stacking up, and why you need to stop over-proving yourself once you're already in the door. Jen breaks down how she built relationships in male-dominated spaces, how to channel competitiveness without burning out, and why your resume matters way less than how you make people feel. Because here's the truth: small wins stack up to big success when you measure what actually matters to you—not everyone else's highlight reel. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Why confidence isn't loud—and how small wins build lasting belief The most powerful question to ask before entering any room What women can own in male-dominated industries Why chasing praise burns you out (and what to do instead) How to connect authentically in any career (no name-dropping required) FREE GIFTS FROM JEN MUELLER https://www.talksportytome.com/resources CONNECT WITH JEN MUELLER Website: https://www.talksportytome.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenmuellertalksporty/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/talksportytome Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/talksportytome YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/TalkSportyToMe/ ABOUT JEN MUELLER Jen is a veteran sideline reporter for the Seattle Seahawks, and for over two decades, was a member of the Seattle Mariners' TV broadcast team.

Imagine walking into a locker room just moments after a crushing defeat. Players are angry, deflated, maybe even in tears — and then a sideline reporter steps up and asks the question nobody wants to hear. That's where Emmy Award-winning sports broadcaster and communications coach Jen Mueller thrives. With 25 years in Sports Journalism, covering high profile sports teams such as the Seattle Seahawks and Mariners, and as founder of Talk Sporty to Me, Jen has mastered the art of having tough conversations under pressure. In this episode of Sticky From The Inside, Jen reveals what leaders can learn from the sports world about facing into tough conversations with clarity, honesty, and respect. From avoiding false praise to creating psychological safety, she shares practical tools to help managers and teams tackle difficult moments without damaging trust. ----more---- Key Takeaways Avoidance erodes trust. Not having tough conversations leaves people guessing — and usually assuming the worst. Be honest with praise. Empty compliments damage credibility; accurate feedback builds respect. Clarity reduces fear. Preparation and specific goals make difficult conversations easier and more effective. Respect the person. Tough moments handled with care can strengthen relationships, not break them. ----more---- Key Moments The key moments in this episode are: 0:01:10 – Why tough conversations matter more than ever in leadership 0:02:43 – Meet Jen Mueller: Emmy-winning sports journalist and communications coach 0:05:19 – From the side lines to the office: lessons from 25 years in sport 0:09:27 – Why leaders avoid tough conversations (and the cost of silence) 0:15:04 – The danger of false praise and how it kills credibility 0:21:14 – “If you're not willing to have that conversation, you lose trust” 0:26:41 – Clarity, preparation, and why leaders shouldn't “wing it” 0:32:38 – Respect, emotions, and reading the room under pressure 0:38:16 – Turning tough conversations into relationship-building moments 0:43:55 – Jen's three Sticky Notes of advice ----more---- Join The Conversation Find Andy Goram on LinkedIn here Listen to the Podcast on YouTube here Follow the Podcast on Instagram here Follow the Podcast on Twitter here Follow the Podcast on Facebook here Check out the Bizjuicer website here Get a free consultation with Andy here Check out the Bizjuicer blog here Download the podcast here ----more---- Useful Links Follow Jen Mueller on LinkedIn here Follow Jen Mueller on Instagram here Follow Jen Mueller on X here here Find the "Talk Sporty To Me" website here ----more---- Full Episode Transcript Get the full transcript of the episode here

Before sports broadcaster Jen Mueller could break into sideline reporting with the Seattle Seahawks, win her Emmy, and score a Super Bowl ring (yep, she's got one), she had to bust through some significant gender barriers. She pushed past that male-dominated world and into a pretty hostile locker room, and it taught her some things. “You learn how to stand your ground, how to speak up, but more importantly, how to make the most of whatever interaction you actually get with somebody”.After 17 years with the Seahawks, Jen uses what she's learned in the locker room to help people communicate effectively, when every second counts.Today we're hearing Jen's lessons on how to use your time to speak up and break out, even if that box seems indestructible.About JenJen Mueller, founder of Talk Sporty to Me, is a business communication expert with 25 years of experience as a sports broadcaster.
