Welcome to the Pocket Ninja Podcast — where big picture wisdom meets practical tools.
Guess what? I already know something about you. You are daring. A dreamer, a goal setter. You’re purposeful, curious, and committed to learning so you can grow and advance. You’re courageous. Willing to face yourself and do the inner work to become all you can be. And you’re bold. You wanna carve your own path, march to the beat of your own drum. Sometimes you take actions that even surprise you, or at least these are things you wanna be. And how do I know this about you? Well, because you’re here.
So welcome. You’re in the right place. In this first podcast episode, I wanna share with you who this podcast is really for, what it’s about, and why you would wanna tune in. If we haven’t met yet, my name is Jehanne Marie Burns and I am the founder and principal ninja of Pocket Ninja Strategies, where I train and coach people in organizations that are ninjas. And I wanna be clear, I don’t train in martial arts. I train a unique kind of person and organization that is a ninja in how they do life or how they run their organization, even if they haven’t realized it yet.
So of course, now I know you’re wondering. What does it mean to be a ninja in terms of business, and life? Well, let me tell you about it.
Ninjas are people just like you and me. We look like regular people on the outside, but in the inside we’re different, and that’s because ninjas are wired differently. Ninjas are fueled by four powerful driving forces, daring dreams, purposeful learning, courageous transformation, and bold action.
Taking these driving forces shape how ninjas think, feel, and operate. And this is why a lot of traditional advice and approaches don’t work for ninjas or doesn’t resonate. And that is because ninjas have a different operating system. And only when ninjas truly understand and embrace how they’re wired will they start to feel truly empowered and fulfilled.
So this is why I created this podcast. It’s designed by a ninja for ninjas, even if you don’t know it yet. This podcast is your guide to mastering the inner game by harnessing the four driving forces so you can thrive personally and professionally because both of these things are part of your one precious life.
For the past 25 years I’ve been coaching and training and doing my own field work. From all of that, I’ve created a proven and signature methodology designed specifically for a unique kind of person, ninjas. This methodology is called the MTS — Mindset. Toolset. Skillset. — and it is the foundation of all my coaching and training because it’s how I help ninjas move forward and achieve true fulfillment.
It’s also the foundation of this podcast because transformation doesn’t happen by accident. It happens through intentional shifts in mindset, the right tools and the development of key skills.
This podcast is gonna offer you a dynamic blend of real life stories, insightful information, and practical tools that is designed to elevate your wellbeing, happiness, and success. , We’re gonna cover a variety of topics, personal topics like clarity, core values, strengths, courage, choosing yourself, living authentically and so much more.
And we’re also gonna cover business and career topics like leadership, teamwork, decision making, change management, and again, so much more. I want this podcast to be like a conversation with your wisest sensei, your biggest cheerleader, and your strategic business coach. This is where we put together the big picture wisdom with the practical tools because my goal here is to empower you to take action and achieve real results in your life. So, that’s a quick overview of what this podcast is about and who’s it for? The next episode? Detailing the Four Driving Forces That Fuel Ninjas is already out. You’ll wanna listen to this foundational episode so you can start really understanding the four driving forces. In this episode, I go into detail about how the four driving forces work, how you can harness them, and also really importantly, where you might be stuck.
This is the place you get to cut through the outside noise, hear yourself clearly, and align with the life you actually want, and you don’t have to do it alone.
