Promoted From Within: How to Lead Former Peers Without Losing Yourself


Listen Later

Promoted from within? That moment can feel exciting, validating… and unexpectedly awkward.

One day you’re sitting beside people as a peer. The next, they’re looking to you for decisions, standards, feedback and direction.

In this episode of Sky High Coaching Conversations, Janelle explores the identity shift that happens when you become the boss of people who used to be your colleagues. Not the polished LinkedIn version of leadership, but the very human version: wanting to stay warm, wanting to be liked, navigating changed friendships, holding authority, and learning how to lead without becoming someone you’re not.

If you’ve recently been promoted, are stepping into leadership, or are finding it harder than expected to lead former peers, this conversation will help you feel less alone inside the transition.
