The New Manager Podcast

At some point your career, you (or someone on your team) will make a mistake. There will also come a time when you find yourself on the receiving end of someone else's mistake.
The important thing in both cases is how you choose to handle it. How will you treat people -- how will you communicate? Listen to the story behind why this is top of mind, and what you can do when you find yourself in a similar situation.

When you're an IC, your focus is on execution. But as you rise to manager and leader, this must shift.
Three things managers and leaders focus on, instead of trying to be the best at executing tasks:
Making decisions.
Building relationships.
Creating a vision -- and communicating it so that others can see how they fit into it.

Leadership can feel heavy. I've found that most of the time when people talk about wanting to feel more confident, they really mean they want to feel more certain. They want to know that they're making decisions that will lead to best outcomes, and ensure success.
This episode explores two sources of confidence: External and Internal. Learn to recognize and work with both, and you'll have an easier time finding authentic confidence when you need it most.

In this episode we'll explore how (and why!) to be more direct. You'll also get some suggestions for what to do if you find that your direct approach is not always well received.

There are five aspects of trauma-informed care that make good sense for the workplace:
Safety / Psychological Safety
Trustworthiness
Choice / Autonomy
Collaboration
Empowerment / Motivation + Engagement
People are human. The experiences we have in life shape how we perceive risk, make decisions, communicate, and work with others.
Learning a bit about trauma-informed care makes it easier to bring out the best in yourself -- and the people you work with.
