Description

Let’s talk about the thing no one wants to admit: most people hate being managers. And not because they don’t care, but because they weren’t set up to succeed.

In this episode, I dig into:

  • Why most people become managers without any training
  • What makes managing feel so hard, especially when you’re learning in front of your team
  • Why burnout is off the charts right now (and what to do if you’re in it)
  • How to stop waiting for support and take one small step to build real confidence

This is for anyone managing a team, responsible for managers, or thinking “do I even want this?”
