If you've ever struggled with any of those situations, this episode is packed with practical advice you can put to work right away. In this episode, you'll learn: - When it's time to put someone on a Performance Improvement Plan and why avoiding the conversation usually makes things worse. - How to earn the respect of former peers after stepping into a leadership role. - A simple routine you can use before any meeting or presentation to feel calmer, more confident, and more present. - Why the first few moments of your presentation matter more than you think and how to make them count.
