Bonus Friday: Executive Presence
As you rise into higher levels of responsibility and visibility, you may start to get feedback about "developing executive presence." If you've ever felt confused by what that means, you're not alone! It's rarely something we learn about early in our work life, and it's often not described in much detail. So it can seem elusive and ambiguous. In this episode, I break down how I think about Executive Presence and give some specific examples to help new managers think about what exactly it means, and how to get it. Let's discuss!This episode was originally published in 2022 as Episode 99. ...After the EpisodeJoin the next cohort of Communication Strategies for Managers:https://maven.com/kimnicol/communication-strategies~Reach out for private coaching, team workshops or off-sites:https://kimnicol.com/~Connect on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimnicol/

Bonus Friday: Getting Past the Hero Mindset
Being a great manager doesn't require you to be a hero. But you might slip into that mindset. It can look like perfectionism, and anxiety about how others see you. It leads to overworking, isolating, and being overly responsible. It also creates a lot of pressure, feeling like everything is on your shoulders and it's up to you to keep everything together (no mistakes allowed!). In this episode, you'll learn more about why the hero mindset is easy to slip into, and how it will hold you back from being an effective leader. You'll also learn why seeing yourself as a whole human is the key to managing yourself and your own wellbeing.
