In this episode of Lead With YOU, Dr. Nicole R. Robinson explores what it truly means to navigate a leadership transition. It’s not just about starting a new job or stepping into a new title — real transition involves shifts in identity, culture, expectations, and internal alignment.
Nicole unpacks the hidden emotional and organizational layers leaders face in their first months and why misreading the culture you inherit can stall your momentum before you even begin.
Whether you’re new to a leadership role or supporting others through change, this episode offers a powerful reframe on how to move through transition with intention and clarity.
Key Topics:
- Why most transitions fail before strategy even starts
- The difference between role change and identity shift
- How culture shapes — and sometimes resists — leadership
- What to notice, name, and navigate in your first 90 days
