In this episode, I'm diving into something many of us face but few want to talk about - managing someone who's older than we are. You know that slightly uncomfortable feeling when you realize your new team member has more candles on their birthday cake than you do?
Well, I'm breaking down exactly how to handle it, and drawing some fun parallels from "The Intern" (yes, that charming movie with Robert DeNiro!).
Whether you're just stepping into your first leadership role or you're a seasoned manager facing this situation for the first time, I'll share practical, real-world strategies that have worked for my clients and me. Trust me, by the end of this episode, you'll see why age differences in the workplace can actually be a superpower rather than a stumbling block.

Sometimes someone is tapped to take on a job that's above their head. They're simply out of their depth – maybe they don't have the right skills, or their experience doesn't really translate, or they simply don't have the temperament and judgment needed to run a department and lead a team.
The question in today's episode is – how can you tell someone isn't up to their new leadership role. Well, here are a few sure fire signs that you've got the wrong tush in the wrong seat.

Ever had a client yell at you?
In this episode, I open up about a recent situation where I found myself on the receiving end of a client's frustration - and why I'm actually glad it happened. Here’s the raw truth about what it feels like when someone's unhappy with your business, especially when you're the founder and CEO. But there is also an upside – and I’ll tell you exactly how I turned this uncomfortable moment into a catalyst for positive change.
Whether you're just starting out, or running a successful business, this candid conversation about handling difficult clients and growing as a leader will give you practical insights you can use the next time (yes, there will be a next time) a client interaction goes sideways.
Join me for some real talk about one of the challenges they definitely don't cover in business school.
