    Ever been stuck between a boss who’s not pulling their weight and an organization that seems to expect 24/7 availability? You’re not alone.

    In this AMA episode, I answer:

    • How to correct a leader who isn’t doing their job when it affects your results.
    • What to do when late nights and evening emails start eating into your family time.

    We’ll explore the art of managing up, why boundaries are critical for sustainable leadership, and how you can navigate both challenges without burning bridges—or burning out.

    This one’s for every leader trying to do right by their team and themselves.

    👉🏾 If you’ve been carrying these kinds of challenges and want a safe space to work through them with support and proven strategies, check out The Leadership Shift Coaching—a private coaching experience designed to help you lead with clarity, confidence, and capacity.

    Managing a team isn’t just about getting the work done—it’s about leading people, and people come with personalities, preferences, and past experiences. In this Ask Me Anything episode of Leveraging Operations in Leadership, we’re diving into two of the most pressing leadership questions:

    1. How do I manage different people with different personalities?
    2. What do I do when my team doesn’t respect me?

    Whether you’re a new manager navigating team dynamics or an experienced leader trying to reset team culture, this episode will give you tactical strategies you can apply right now.

    Leadership is not about having all the answers; it’s about knowing how to lead different people well. And if your team doesn’t seem to respect you, don’t panic. We’ll unpack what could be going wrong and how to reset the tone.

    Ready to become the kind of leader your team respects and trusts?

  • Promotion Is Not Preparation: Avoid the 60% Failure Trap
    Jul 15 2025

    Send us a text

    So, you got promoted — now what?

    If you’ve stepped into a leadership role and thought, “Why didn’t anyone prepare me for this?” - you’re not alone. In fact, research shows that 60% of new leaders fail within their first 18 months. Not because they’re not capable, but because they weren’t equipped.

    In this episode of Leveraging Operations in Leadership, we’re digging into what really happens after the promotion. Because the truth is, promotion and preparation are not the same thing.

    Whether you're leading your first team or trying to get your footing after a big step up, this episode will help you shift from just surviving leadership to leading with clarity and confidence.

    Ready to lead with more confidence and less overwhelm?
