Being the new person at work can feel like walking a tightrope — especially when you’re in a position of leadership eager to make an impact but still learning the ropes.
In this episode of The Brave Collective, I'm diving into what it really takes to succeed as the “newbie” in charge. Whether you’ve been promoted or are starting fresh at a new company, it’s all about playing the long game, building trust, and engaging your team in meaningful ways.
We’ll explore two key approaches new leaders often take (one that works, and one that doesn’t!), and I’ll break down my top three strategies for navigating the honeymoon phase of leadership. You’ll learn how to build rapport, understand your team’s dynamics, and involve them in decision-making — without creating chaos. Plus, a personal story about how my time in a church band taught me a few unforgettable lessons about leadership.
If you’ve just stepped into a new role or are preparing for that transition, this episode is packed with insights to help you lead with confidence and connection.
I hope you listen in <3
