When Everything Feels Like Too Much

Last week’s webinar, Manage Well Without Losing Yourself, was full. Not just the Zoom room but full of honesty, questions, and the kind of truth-telling that doesn’t always have a space at work. We talked about the tension between keeping it all together and holding onto yourself, about what it means to lead when you’re…

Unclog the Drain

There’s a particular kind of disgust that comes from cleaning out a bathroom drain, which I had the pleasure of experiencing this weekend. I have two teenage daughters with long, curly hair. Despite new drain stoppers and persistent fussing, the drains still clog. Every few months, water backs up. Drano wasn’t cutting it anymore. Wading…

I’m Done

If your people aren’t saying it out loud, they might be thinking it. Here’s what to do before disengagement spreads.

The Conversation You’re Avoiding Is Costing More Than You Think

During our last webinar, Say What Needs to Be Said: How to Have Uncomfortable Conversations with More Ease, we had so many questions that we went over them over time. People stayed because they were hungry for real tools and language to use to have the uncomfortable conversations. Because avoiding hard conversations doesn’t make tension…

What I Got Wrong as A New Manager

I still remember my first management role. I had just been promoted after doing a great job as an individual contributor. And I did what a lot of people do when they step into leadership for the first time. I overcorrected. For me, that meant becoming hyper-professional. No personal stories. No small talk. No real…

Are You Being Too Nice at Work?

We all want to be kind colleagues. But sometimes our commitment to being “nice” keeps us from being honest. We avoid giving feedback, delay addressing harmful behavior, or smile through discomfort. And in the process, the problem festers and trust erodes. What looks like harmony on the outside is often resentment underneath. Here’s the truth:…

The Hardest Decision I’ve Made in My Business

There’s a part of leadership no one really prepares you for: the letting go. But letting go isn’t just about loss. It’s a necessary step to growth. The letting go of services that once defined your business.The letting go of habits that made sense in an earlier chapter.The letting go of what used to work…

What two truths are you holding right now?

Lately, things have been moving fast. It’s been a full couple of months of speaking on panels, designing curriculum for new people managers, working with new clients, leading webinars on navigating change, and preparing to relaunch my podcast, Managing Well. Professionally, it’s been exciting and energizing. And at home? It’s a bit of a whirlwind….
