Uncopyable Women in Business

Episode 92 | Balancing Ego and Humility: Secrets to Building a Bold Personal Brand- Jess Pettitt

Kay MIller

In this episode of "Uncopyable Women in Business," I chat with Jess Pettit, a former university administrator for diversity and inclusion and a stand-up comedian turned speaker and consultant. Jess discusses her dual career and her new book, "Almost Doing Good." Our conversation centers on balancing ego and humility in business, which Jess describes as "riding two horses." She shares insights on personal branding, emphasizing authenticity and humor in addressing serious topics. Jess also highlights the importance of self-promotion and learning from others to foster inclusive environments and meaningful connections.

About Jess

Perhaps it's her Texas roots, but Jess Pettitt, MBA, M.Ed., CSP, believes that to really thrive in this world, you have to ride two horses-one of giving and one of receiving. For Jess, the giving horse is her passion for service, and the receiving horse is the high she rides entertaining audiences. For almost 10 years, Jess rode one horse by day, serving as an administrator in student affairs for university Diversity and Inclusion programs, and the other by night, performing and hosting three times a week doing stand-up in New York City's most popular comedy clubs (ask her about George Carlin's nickname for her or sharing an eggroll birthday cake with Bob Newhart). Eventually, Jess discovered she could ride both horses at the same time in the same career, and a speaker in the DEI space was born. Now, nearly 20 years and half a million audience members later, Jess gallops from coast to coast delivering her "Good Enough Now" message to anyone willing to take the leap toward creating a much more inclusive (read: much more effective) organization.
