I explore the story of Sarah, a Director of Engineering who went from constant firefighting to executive thinking—and earned a promotion in just eight months. You’ll learn how to embrace strategic pauses, delegate effectively, and develop the confidence to make high-impact decisions. Plus, I break down the shift from being a problems person to a solutions-driven leader.
I dive into:
- Shifting from reactive to strategic leadership: stop firefighting and start thinking long term
- Building authentic confidence to delegate and tackle imposter syndrome
- Thinking bigger: making high impact decisions with long term ROI in mind
- Ideas vs. problems vs. solutions: becoming a solutions-driven leader
- And more
