Show Notes
Ever wonder why some leaders inspire while others intimidate? It might just come down to communication style!
In this bonus episode, my sister Jasmine Star breaks down the Communication Animal Wheel, a brilliant framework by Evy Pompouras that helps us understand how different communication styles impact leadership and team dynamics. Whether you roar like a lion or approach with the quiet wisdom of a mouse, knowing your natural style can make all the difference in how you lead, support, and inspire others.
Jasmine shares valuable insights on conflict resolution between leadership styles and why clear communication is the backbone of any thriving organization.
She explores:
✨ Healthy vs. unhealthy leadership—recognize the signs and shift toward positive dynamics
✨ Empowering volunteers—turning passion into action and ensuring everyone feels valued
✨ Effective change management—leading with clarity and confidence during transitions
Friend, I invite you to reflect on your own communication style and how articulating your needs can strengthen both leadership and relationships. Whether you’re guiding a team, mentoring others, or simply looking to improve everyday interactions, this conversation is full of gems you won’t want to miss.
Let Jasmine and I know what your communication animal is by tagging @jasminestar and @biancajuarezofficial.
Love you,
B

More from We're Going There with Bianca Juarez
What do we do when life doesn’t go the way we wanted? The Church today needs tools for discipleship that go beyond a Sunday experience so that people can stay the course and live out the transformation that comes from staying with God… even when things don’t work out as planned. What does it mean for us to be present to His presence even when the outcomes are disappointing or heartbreaking?
How can we actually love like God calls us to love? The Church today is straining under the weight of division. Politics, theological disagreements, cultural differences, and deeply felt wounds are real threats and real damage is being done. What should happen when people who genuinely love Jesus and faithfully wrestle with Scripture arrive at different conclusions? In this conversation led by Dr. Anita Phillips, we get real about conviction, humility, and the work of remaining tender toward one another. This is an invitation to cultivate a love strong enough to stretch—reaching for each other rather than running as we trust God with it all.
Drop into a deeply human conversation with Dr. Anita Phillips, Noemi Chavez, Bianca Juarez, and Hosanna Wong– four friends and leaders whose lives, expertise, and perspectives are remarkably different, but whose shared center is Jesus and His Church.
