Feeling overwhelmed in small business leadership is common and has simple solutions. I work with clients to adjust and align their lives and leadership approach for an immediate shift.
"Fake it til you make it" is an outdated leadership strategy.
The most effective (and freeing) approach is to be authentic. Clear and well intentioned conversations can solve almost any problem, and that is certainly true in leadership.
Do you find yourself resenting the time you have to put into managing your team?
Do you feel like every choice you make for your business is being judged?
Does interpersonal conflict between your employees make you wish you'd chosen a different career?
Do you feel responsible for everyone else and drained by the process of leading?
Do you act from a place of fear with quick reactions that you later regret?
Are you doubting your own abilities and lacking confidence in leadership?
Is it common for you to avoid addressing issues in hopes that they will go away?
Do you know that you were destined for greater roles in your company, but can’t find your way there?
Are you flat out overwhelmed by keeping your head above water? (I hear you!)
These problems are common in leadership and they have answers. It starts with you. The truth is that many people overcomplicate, leading to fulfill the stories that they believe about themselves and the world around them. Managing your own ego, values, beliefs and energy will improve your professional relationships, bring you into better alignment with yourself and your business, and ultimately bring you great success.
The Elevated Leadership philosophy simplifies what it means to be a leader and quickly changes the lens that we see life through. Spoiler alert, this is going to change your LIFE, not only your role as a leader.
“Working with Jena has been the best investment I have made for myself and my business. She has helped me navigate the challenges that come along with owning a small business and allows me space to move at my own pace. Jena’s approach to coaching is relaxed and non-judgmental. This testimonial does not do Elevated Leadership and Jena justice. 20/10 would recommend!”

Meet Jena
I’m thrilled that you've discovered Elevated Leadership. If you're like me, you're a dedicated small business leader who pours your heart into your work. Yet, amidst the passion, there's a lingering frustration—the weight of responsibility and the endless juggling act of leading a team, driving growth, and staying ahead in your fast-paced industry.
Sound familiar? I've been there. I've felt the exhaustion of trying to balance it all, putting out fires while striving to maintain a positive culture and mindset. But guess what? There's a simpler, more effective approach. It is no mistake that you’re here!
I'm Jena Young, a hospitality entrepreneur and certified professional coach, with over two decades of leadership experience. Through my own journey of trial and error I’ve built a thriving portfolio of restaurants and experiences in the breathtaking landscape of Bar Harbor, Maine, nestled on the edge of Acadia National Park.
Our business journey began with Side Street Cafe and has blossomed into six diverse businesses, boasting supportive teams and revenue exceeding ten million dollars. I went from feeling the need to do it all myself to learning how to cultivate support and shift my mindset. And now, I'm here to share the wisdom gained from those experiences, and to guide you on your leadership journey.
Everyone can benefit from learning how to lead themselves with more awareness and this, in turn, elevates how you lead others. The work that we do at Elevated Leadership will shift every aspect of your life… and we can have fun doing it. This is the work that only YOU can do for yourself.
