Your boss isn’t hovering because of your work.
They’re hovering because of a trust gap.

Most high earners try to fix micromanagement by working harder, proving themselves, or pushing back.
That doesn’t work.

In this episode, I break down a simple strategy that turns a micromanager into an ally — using people skills that owners use every day.

You’ll learn:

• Why micromanagement is actually a trust issue
• How to ask for advice the right way (without giving up control)
• The fastest shortcut to trust — finding real common ground
• How to turn micromanagement into a leadership skill
• Why quitting doesn’t solve the problem
• How to build confidence and take control of your career

This isn’t fluffy workplace advice.
This is the practical identity shift that helps high earners move up, earn more, and stay in control.
