Burnout, a prevalent mental health issue, is even more pronounced among CEOs, entrepreneurs, and other go-getters because of the nature of their work and the degree of social isolation and the uncertainties that come hand in hand with immersing oneself in the cut-throat commercial space. When left unmanaged, it douses the flame that drives people forward, stunts their growth, and limits their potential. Highly cognizant of the limits that hinder people from reaching great heights and privy to how these personal and professional odds can be overcome, acclaimed speaker and mentor Cody Jefferson has made it his mission to guide those under his wing toward a life marked by fulfillment and success.
Cody Jefferson is a multi-faceted figure who has managed to snag numerous recognitions under his belt for the difference he’s made in the lives of others. An entrepreneur, public speaker, business coach, and founder of Embrace The Lion and Lion:Elite, this well-respected mentor serves as a pillar of support, especially for those who have created a robust portfolio of accomplishments at the expense of their personal development, fulfillment, and spiritual life.
Through his purpose-driven platforms, Cody Jefferson coaches and advises business owners and entrepreneurs on scaling their ventures, growing their impact and influence, and finding the balance between their professional and personal lives. In doing so, he brings to the table over 13 years of experience as a pastor, a skillset honed after two decades as a professional speaker, and a signature brand of coaching. “I have a way of walking with individuals that allows for an unmatched empathy, which I couple with firm accountability,” he added.
While an element of faith is incorporated into his mentoring approach, it doesn’t include the fluff and theatrics common in mainstream religion. Instead, the widely acknowledged coach focuses on four pillars, namely the head, which looks into how people treat their thoughts and feelings; the heart, which looks at how one goes about their relationships; health, which revolves around one’s body; and habits, which explores how individuals use their time.
In the years since he first dipped his toes in the personal development space, Cody Jefferson has helped countless clients overcome adversities and become a better version of themselves, focusing on the ways they can re-ignite their passion for craft and underscoring the importance of constantly revisiting one’s purpose. “Often, we burn out because we forget what we are working toward and why. As a result, we find ourselves burned out not because we are doing too much, but rather because we aren’t doing enough of what connects us back to our purpose,” asserted the distinguished speaker.
The all-out attitude that Cody Jefferson demonstrates toward steering individuals on the right track is born out of his experiences with seeing those he knows succumbing to the pressures of life. “I lost too many friends to suicide and saw too many good men sacrifice their souls on the altars of success,” he shared. Fueled by the desire to free people from their cages, he will continue to take every opportunity to help those around him gain a deeper understanding of what’s holding them back.
