S07E09: How to Become the Manager People Actually Want to Work For

Most people don’t hate work.
They hate how work makes them feel.

In this episode, we break down what actually separates managers people avoid from leaders people trust, follow, and stay for. Not theory. Not corporate buzzwords. Real, human leadership skills you can use immediately.

You’ll learn:

• How to build trust faster than you think
• Why most one-on-ones fail and how to make them meaningful
• How to give feedback without triggering defensiveness
• When to coach, when to mentor, and when to step back
• How to read what people really need, help, space, or support

Whether you manage people, want to step into leadership, or just want to protect your energy at work, this episode gives you practical tools to create healthier, more human work environments.

Because leadership today isn’t about control.
It’s about trust, impact, and the experience people have working with you.
