Join us for another episode of The Human Edge Show.

The podcast dedicated to helping technical experts become wonderful leaders.

This week: Becoming a Leader of Leaders with Mark Watkins - VP of Sales & Delivery for JumpShift

The Human Edge Show's focus is to help new leaders and managers successfully make the biggest transition in their careers: The transition from ‘doing stuff’ to ‘leading and managing people’.

We call it “Crossing the Doing to Leading Chasm”.

The early-stage steps we take as new managers and leaders are like crossing a minefield.

How can we get across safely and avoid the landmines?

This podcast aims to:

✅ Give you a metal detector to help you identify and defuse those landmines

✅ Provide you with practical ideas, techniques, and tools to guide you through this tumultuous and challenging time.

✅ Help you more quickly and easily level up your capability and confidence.

So, you can get moving quickly and positively … much more like a poised leopard and much less like a nervous meerkat.
