We all know the saying: People don't leave companies, they leave managers. So, if I’m the biggest factor causing turnover, shouldn’t I be the biggest factor in retention? What if I became the manager people *want* to work for? In today's episode, I’m digging into why this intentionality is non-negotiable right now. Being that leader creates resilience, innovation, and psychological safety, but getting there isn't easy, especially when the workplace feels like a pressure cooker. I challenge you to figure out how you want to show up, and more importantly, how you plan to stay consistent even on your worst day.Looking for support for yourself of your team? I've got you covered. Explore manager training, leaders keynotes & offsites, and 1:1 advisory, or my 90-Day-COO program for business owners who want simple systems that actually work. I help teams build clarity, accountability, and momentum through practical tools and research-backed strategies that make managing easier.
