As a leader, it's important to know how to manage up to the key stakeholders in your organization.  Particularly your boss. 

In this episode, I'll cover what managing up is, I'll give you my three-part strategic framework so you can structure your approach, and I'll dive into each part of the framework to offer examples of how to manage up effectively.

Delegating like a leader is not about saving you time.

It’s about investing your time wisely to drive better results long term.

In this episode, I’ll help you invest in the real value of delegating (spoiler alert - it has nothing to do with saving time), and strategies for delegating effectively so you love the work you get back and your team doesn’t feel overworked.

I know you think self-advocating feels fake.  But you also know that at your level,  it’s a good idea.  In fact, it’s more than a good idea.  It’s necessary at your level.  But talking about your accomplishments feels braggy and disingenuous.

In this week’s episode, I’ll show you how to authentically self-advocate in a way that feels so normal and easy, you’ll wish you started doing it years ago.

This is the second part of “Managing Tough People”. In last week’s episode, I went into detail on the number one thing you need to do with your tough people before you do anything else.  If you don’t do this one thing, nothing else will work.

In part two, I go into detail on what to do next to help you transform your tough people into top performers!

These two episodes are  full of tips and real client stories and is a must listen for anyone with tough people to manage

You have someone on your team that’s tougher for you to manage than the others.  It’s uncomfortable.  

At the same time, you don’t want to get rid of them because they deliver great work.

What is the best way to handle this situation?

In Part 1 of this topic, I break down the number one thing you need to do before you do anything else.  If you don’t do this, nothing else will work.

You’re thinking about quitting your job because it’s boring, right?  You’re not connected to it anymore and you want to do something you’re passionate about.

I’ll tell you what you need to do and what to  avoid to wake up every morning passionate and excited for the day ahead. 

Are you so busy that you can’t read this post?  Well… I’ll keep it short. I’m going to help you with finding the time in your schedule so you can have a life (and perform better at work).

This episode isn’t a step by step guide to managing your to do list.  This episode is all about creating time for yourself, setting workload boundaries and putting an end to creating more work for yourself than you need to. 

Time management is a leadership competency.  And if you don’t have time, it’s not because you have a scheduling issue… it’s because you have a leadership issue.  Let’s help you get back on track

If you wake up in the morning and automatically think you’re behind, work like crazy all day and then lose sleep because you’re worried about all the things you have to do tomorrow, then you’re probably feeling anxious a lot of the time.

Anxiety is an emotion that can get in the way of your career goals and distract you from being the leader you want to be. 

In this episode, I’ll help you find strategies to manage anxiety at work and diminish the impact anxiety has on your performance.

Break the burnout cycle! Burnout is a pattern for a lot of people. Oftentimes we blame our burnout on the demands of the job.  But just because someone demands something, you don’t have to give it to them.

Today, I want to teach you to take back control over your burnout.  We’ll shine a light on the habits that perpetuate the burnout cycle and suggest small changes you can make to start taking control. 

If you have a skillset or behavioural challenge you’re struggling with, then this week’s podcast is going to change the game for you.  I’ll give you five questions you can ask yourself to help you quickly and sustainably improve performance.  And, I’ll give you some answers as well.  

This is content I teach in my 1-1 coaching program. It works.  And I’m going to give it to you this week in my podcast.
