Change is inevitable in life and in the corporate world, now more than ever, so what are you doing to lead through change?

Join me as I sit down with Rob Versaw to discuss ideas and tactics to lead through change including the stages of the change curve and how to progress through frustration and the other phases, the role of a manager through change, and how to get buy in from a team.

"The manager's role is really this two way communication back and forth to the executive team"

"If you don't do the listing and explaining the why talent is going to real quickly be become a problem in your company."

"That's where that's where magic happens. That's where people can go from stuck to really engage and a lot of times those people that get stuck end up being the people that lead out of it"

He built his career to became a successful leader, unfortunately at the expense of his health and family. Come take a listen to the revelations Suneel had and the changes he made to flip prioritizing work to prioritizing family, while still growing his career.

"You're working hard, but ultimately, what are you working for?"

"I was putting work as number one and putting everything else below that. After trying all of this, I realized that I have to flip it."

"I'm now seeing a big change in my interaction with my family and my kids"

Join me for a chat with a great leader and friend, Scott Ryan, as we discuss what it means and what it takes to truly lead people. Listen to how respect, curiosity, and authenticity play such a key role in leading teams and some of the lessons learned along the way on how to do so.

"If you don't understand your team's goals and their why. you can't truly help them achieve what they're trying to achieve. As a leader, that's your job."

Join me as I have an amazing chat with one of my mentors, Georgette Belair. We talk about mindset and tactics to utilize when being a newer manager.

We dive into discussion around the difficult transition from individual contributor to leader, the value of mentorship, what is professional empathy, how to overcome being the youngest or only woman at the leadership table, and so much more.

"I don't expect everyone to come where I am as a leader to be where I am in my headspace or my approach. I go where they are."

"You have to understand that as a leader, you don't have to be smarter than the people you lead."

"You're a leader if your team grows, you are not a leader if your team does"

I went from 2 promotions in 6 months, to burn out, to transformation, to living and working with intent, to completely changing my career and finding more fulfillment in life.

The mid-life and mid-career perspective shift is real. If you are at all feeling stuck, unfulfilled, or that your balance in life might be a little off, listen to my journey which I hope will help motivate you to take steps needed to make adjustments to find fulfillment, and hopefully also find a couple nuggets of inspiration to help you make some of those adjustments.
