#93 | You Don’t Trust Them. Now What?
Text Jennifer: What’s on your mind?
What do you do when you need to work with someone you don’t quite trust? In this episode of Lead with Swagger, Jennifer Sukalo answers a listener’s question and explores a practical place to begin: learn what matters to each other, make one small agreement, and pay attention to what happens next.
Jennifer also dives into leadership, accountability, ownership, and the difference between an explanation and an excuse. She shares why leaders need to look in the mirror before pointing fingers, how clarity and support create stronger teams, and why taking ownership can help you reclaim your power and create progress.
You’ll also get a simple three-question framework to help turn challenging situations into opportunities for growth:
- What happened?
- What part did I play?
- What will I change?
Plus, Jennifer shares a values activity you can try with a colleague—without turning your next coffee meeting into a therapy session.

Circumstances may explain what happened. Ownership determines what happens next.
