She believes in empowering others to lead, embracing diverse perspectives, and creating environments where everyone feels valued and heard.

JOURDAN ON FOSTERING INCLUSION: DAILY ACTIONS FOR YOUNG LEADERS
Inclusion happens in both big and small ways, every day. As a young leader, embrace the diverse needs around you and create spaces where everyone feels valued—at work, in your community, and in unexpected places. Show empathy, be willing to learn, and adapt continuously. When we pour into each other, we all grow. By fostering inclusion, you’ll enrich your team, spark innovation, and drive success. Your efforts today will shape a more inclusive world tomorrow.
JOURDAN ON PARENTHOOD AND LEADERSHIP: INTERCONNECTED ROLES
Parenthood and leadership are deeply interconnected, requiring intentionality and flexibility. The skills you develop in one role can enhance the other. For example, in parenthood, respecting people from all backgrounds and recognizing the value each person brings, no matter their role in society, are crucial leadership traits. Allowing your children to correct you and demonstrating inclusion in your daily interactions ensures everyone feels valued. By integrating these practices, you set a powerful example for those you lead and your children. This interconnected approach enriches both your personal and professional life, fostering a more compassionate and inclusive world.
LEARN FROM THOSE YOU LEAD, IDENTIFY AREAS FOR SELF-IMPROVEMENT, AND FOSTER INCLUSIVITY IN BOTH YOUR WORKPLACE AND COMMUNITY.
