About this listen

Ever feel like you’re doing everything right at work and somehow still getting blindsided?

In this episode, Lauren and Cara break down the underrated skill that can change everything: managing up. From meetings that go completely off the rails to the invisible dynamics that shape how decisions actually get made, they unpack what’s really going on behind the scenes.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Understand what your manager actually cares about (hint: it’s not always what they say)
  • Communicate in a way that gets heard—and acted on
  • Avoid the “I thought we were aligned” trap
  • Set your boss (and yourself) up for success without feeling manipulative

This isn’t about being political or manipulative. It’s about making your work land, your voice count, and your life a whole lot easier.
