Leadership is supposed to look and feel composed. So, why do most leaders feel stretched, cautious, and unheard?
Today’s leaders value safety, clarity, and presence. They don’t want their teams to hesitate before speaking. With this in mind, ICF-certified coach and Legacy Leadership and Branding Strategist, Jessica Rice, has created an angle that allows leaders to rest: psychological safety.
Who is Jessica Rice?
Jessica Rice has spent two decades observing the shift in leadership from both first-hand experience inside fast-moving organizations and in her work with leaders and founders. Her work connects leadership psychology, brand presence, and team dynamics. She helps leaders step out of performance mode and into influence that is sustainable.
Jessica is an advisor to leaders across global brands and high-impact industries. Her background in communications and leadership development includes work with organizations such as Uber, Airbnb, PayPal, Lockheed Martin, and Homeland Security.
According to Jessica, high achievement without safety leads to burnout, and growth without clarity leads to noise. And mostly, expertise must always stress a legacy.
This is why Jessica works with leaders who want their presence to feel steady, clear, and respected.
The Psychology Behind Leaders People Actually Trust
Jessica Rice coaches for alignment, presence, and decision quality. Her approach is based on applied neuroscience and leadership psychology, with a strong emphasis on psychological safety.
Psychological safety allows people to speak early, challenge ideas, and contribute without fear. Leaders who understand this build teams that think faster and execute better.
Jessica works with leaders who want to:
- Create environments where ideas surface early.
- Reduce silent resistance inside teams.
- Improve decision-making under pressure.
- Communicate with clarity during change.
Her coaching often begins with unlearning. Many leaders were taught to perform confidently instead of practicing clarity. Jessica helps them slow down, observe patterns, and reset how they show up.
She has coached executives through burnout, career transitions, and moments of uncertainty. In each case, safety became the foundation for progress. When leaders feel safe internally, teams respond with trust.
This work has expanded into team development offerings designed for modern organizations. These programs focus on communication habits, feedback culture, and shared language. The goal is to make it easier for people to do their best work together.
