Three deceptively simple questions. That’s it. No frameworks, no buzzwords. Just an honest gut check about how you lead, how you work with others, and whether you’re actually someone people would choose to follow.

In this episode of No One Told Me This, we’re talking about leadership, not the title, not the job description, but the real stuff: how you show up.

Grab a pen (or just listen while you walk the dog), because here are the questions:

1. Who are you here for?
2. What’s it like to work with you?
3. Would you follow you?

If the answers make you squirm a little, good. That’s where the work starts.

If you found this useful, share it with someone who leads (even if they don’t have the title). And if you try these questions this week, let me know. I’d love to hear what you found.

So you’ve stepped up, spoken up, or been tapped on the shoulder… and now you’re supposed to lead?

This episode is for the ones who find themselves doing the thing, leading a team, shaping a culture, driving a business... without the manual. I talk about the real experience of stepping into leadership, why it often feels awkward, and how we confuse being “nice” with being a good leader.

If you’ve ever wondered “Is it just me?” - it’s not. You’re in good company.

Welcome to No One Told Me This — a podcast about culture, leadership, teams, and all the tricky stuff that never makes the onboarding pack.

This quick trailer gives you a sense of what to expect: honest takes, messy realities, and grounded ideas for when things are going well (or not). Hosted by Paul, consultant, culture nerd, and someone who’s made a few leadership mistakes of his own.

Hit follow, and let’s get into it.
