You May Be Quiet Firing Without Realizing It

You May Be Quiet Firing Without Realizing It

I was bullied by my boss! He used this tactic as his way of attempting to quietly fire me. Let’s just say, it didn’t end up in his favor! While my manager’s actions were intentional and horrific, what I find most alarming is that #quietfiring can actually occur amongst managers who CARE DEEPLY about their employees. Listen here as I share more about this current and urgent issue, so that you don’t get caught up in this detrimental trap!

Always-On GPS

GPS even if you know where you’re going. For over 20 years, I’ve driven from my home to my parent’s home, the home I grew up in as a child, yet I always check my GPS. Why? The same reason we recommend you check your GPS for your everyday communication!

Maximize Your Leadership Time in the Office

Maximize Your Leadership Time in the Office

You better max that time in the office! My husband, Matt, commutes nearly 60 miles to the office – ONE WAY! So you better believe if he’s going to spend time on the road driving nearly 120 miles for one day in the office, he’s going to maximize his time. And you, as a leader, better do the same. Here are four specific actions to take that will benefit you and your team to capitalize on the time in the office.

It’s the Who Not the How

It’s the Who Not the How

It’s the WHO, not the how! Several years into my leadership journey, I was aware of the strengths I possessed while simultaneously I knew I could be much more effective and impactful.

You’re Not Actually Growing!

You’re Not Actually Growing!

The obvious answer is wrong!

Listen in as I break down the most common strategy leaders use to grow, and show you why you may be completely off the mark.

3 Critical Areas Senior Leaders Overlook

3 Critical Areas Senior Leaders Overlook

Leaders overlook these 3 critical areas. I’m confident that my manager overlooked three critical areas when she promoted me to my first-ever leadership role. Over the past 20+ years, I’ve witnessed many other senior leaders make the same mistake. Which is perhaps why 38% of new managers fail within their first 18 months, and only half of all managers are rated effective! Discover these three critical areas so that you better support first-time leaders or perhaps as you make the transition yourself.

Are You a “Too-Generous” Manager?

Are you a “too-generous” manager? When I first transitioned into a people leader role, I still had too much of the individual contributor mindset – what’s in it for me? But definitely by year five, it was all about my team. But was I possibly too generous as a manager? Is that even possible? Is there such a thing as a “too-generous” manager? Here I answer this question from my POV and experience, but it poses a compelling consideration for you. Take a watch!

Should Everyone Develop Leadership Skills?

Should Everyone Develop Leadership Skills?

Should everyone develop leadership skills? We’re oftentimes asked whether or not everyone should develop leadership skills. We see this pop up most often when we’re co-creating a learning engagement for an organization or a team. I can certainly understand why they question if it’s worth the investment to offer leadership training to those who aren’t even interested in becoming a formal leader in the future. Possibly you’ve wondered the same. Find out the answer along with the compelling reasons why!

Risk of Working from Home

Risk of Working from Home

There was a period of time in my executive leadership role where I had the opportunity to #workfromhome one day per week. It afforded me several benefits at the time, and it continues today. I’m not alone. Women especially fight for a flexible work arrangement, as they manage the majority, if not all, of the household and childcare responsibilities. But now that the flexibility we’ve asked for is available, what’s the cost? Listen in as I share the risk and the action to take to avoid this “drop to the top.”
