Today we're talking about leading up, speaking into the potential you see in people and evaluating rhythms regularly to maximize strengths and minimize weaknesses.

Today we discuss a very raw confession of my own struggle with anxiety. From panic attacks to seeking out help, I've learned that self-care is way more than a bubble bath - it's hard work, and it takes discipline.

"We need to talk."
Yikes. No one likes feeling in trouble or having to hear about what they did wrong. In today's episode, we talk about maintaining an open posture and perspective while both giving and receiving feedback.

03: Gateway vs. Gatekeeper
Today we discuss how to be an approachable gateway for your executive, both internally and externally.
02: Casting Vision About Your Role
Everyone wants to know "why", right?
Today we discuss:
- Establishing "why" for yourself.
- Establishing "why" for your coworkers.
- A practical way to help build relationships with your team.
It's so important to get good buy-in from the people around you, so start casting vision!
