Hi, Reader,

Every manager faces those moments of hard conversations they know they have to have but wish they didn’t.

Before you sit down with an employee to talk about performance, behavior, or boundaries, there are a few steps that make all the difference:

Lead with curiosity. Go in to understand, not just to be heard.
Be clear about why you’re meeting. Ambiguity creates anxiety, for both of you.
Ask open-ended questions. It helps your employees share their perspective instead of shutting down.
Listen more than you speak. Most people want to feel seen and understood before they’re ready to change.

These small changes can totally change how a hard conversation turns out.

🎥 I made a quick 10-second short breaking down this strategy. Check it out here → link

However… knowing what to do and feeling confident enough to do it are two different things.

That’s where I come in.

I help managers like you turn anxious, uncomfortable conversations into moments of growth, for you and your team.

If you’ve been putting off a conversation because you’re worried about how it might go, let’s change that.

What if Impostor Syndrome is Actually a Sign You’re Growing?

Hi, Reader, Yes, I want Coaching! Have you ever noticed how impostor syndrome always seems to show up right when you’re stretching, learning, or stepping into something new? What if that feeling isn’t proof you don’t belong, BUT proof you’re growing? There’s something deeply beautiful about watching someone try.

Set Boundaries Like a Boss 💪

Hi There, Reader, Mastering Hard Conversations Let’s talk about boundaries, the quiet superpower of great leaders. Strong boundaries aren’t barriers. They’re clarity. When you say yes to everything, you’re really saying no to your own priorities. And before long, you start feeling stretched thin, resentful, or frustrated and that’s not leadership. True leadership means showing others where the line is, and doing it with kindness and confidence. Boundaries protect your energy, build respect,...
