Description

Just stepped into a management role? Or gearing up for one?

This episode walks you through the three core steps that will set you up to be a manager people trust, respect, and want to follow.

Being a great manager doesn’t come from having all the answers.  Most people don’t realise it comes from building trust, learning your team, and stepping into conversations most people avoid.

In this episode, I’m giving you the three foundational steps to help you build trust, lead with clarity, and show up like the manager people actually want to work with.

These are simple, powerful moves you can make today to lead with confidence (even if you feel like you’re winging it).

I’ll also get into the common traps new managers fall into and how to avoid them from the start.


In this episode, you’ll learn:

- Why getting to know your team is the most strategic place to start

- How understanding your team’s workload and goals shapes your leadership

- The 3 core moves that make the biggest impact early on

- What your team actually needs from you (it’s simpler than you think)

- How to navigate hard conversations without freaking out

- The mindset shifts that separate good managers from great ones

- How to balance the work and the people without burning out


If you are new to leadership and wondering how to “get it right”, have a listen.
