Description

Layoffs, reorgs, AI disruption- fear is at an all-time high in the workplace. And managers? They’re caught in the middle.

In this milestone episode, I sit down with Megan Karsh to talk about what fear actually looks like at work, how it shows up in our leadership habits, and what we can do to shift from reactivity into resilience.

We cover:

  • The VUCA framework and why it matters more than ever
  • The real cost of micromanaging and control-hoarding
  • How to lead with presence when the path forward isn’t clear
  • Why the old ways of manager training are broken
  • How the New Manager Playbook digital program that Megan and I co-created fills the gap

Whether you’re a new manager or a seasoned one facing brand new challenges, this episode will give you clarity, practical tools, and a shot of gritty hope.
