Oh, the joy. Your work bestie - the same one you shared eye-rolls with in the Monday morning status update, just got promoted. And yes, they are now your boss. Deep breaths…

Jac and Ral are here to save your career (and your sanity). In this episode, we tackle the awkward, ego-bruising reality of what happens when a peer becomes your manager.

What we unpack:

• For you: How to congratulate your colleague without visibly choking, setting boundaries so you aren't expecting "inside gossip" at lunch, and avoiding the urge to undermine their new authority.
• For them: How to step into leadership without turning into an overnight dictator or playing favourites with the old lunchtime crew.

Whether you're the one stepping up or the one stepping back to let them lead, it’s time to put the 'intelligence' back in emotional intelligence.
