As you rise in your career, you gain more responsibility.
You need more skills to go along with it.
But no one is teaching you what you most need to know.
- How do you manage UP as well as down? How do you tell your boss tough stuff? Or persuade previous peers?
- How do you motivate people, especially those who arenāt self-starters?
- How do you navigate conflict, interpersonal tension, and team dynamics?
- How do you give clear direction and delegate effectively?
- How do you give hard feedback without damaging trust?
- And most of all: how do you get everything done? How do you strike that tricky balance of prioritizing urgent issues without working all the time? How do you stay big picture without losing sight of details? And how do you become a āgood bossā for others amidst the frantic pace of it all?

***
This looks like holding onto legacy tasks you know how to do, because youāre an expert at them.
And trying to learn more about areas that are your weak spots.
The result? Overwhelm.
You get busier, youāre overloaded. This isnāt strategic or sustainable.

Workshops
The shortest path to creating a dynamic, results-driven team is to teach them HOW to work together, HOW to get things done.
Your team may have functional expertise ā they know their stuff ā but no one ever taught them how to work interpersonally, with different personalities, in stressful environments.
The result? People end up holding back. They donāt fully engage or share their best ideas. They lean out to avoid conflict or because itās easier to hold the status quo.
When really smart people donāt share their best ideas, itās time to stimulate a positive change.
You can get your team energized and on track. Even one 90-minute session can turn things around, and get people to connect, share more boldly, and even have a little fun at work.
What types of topics do Google and UCSF most request?
- Managing Change in Stressful Environments
- Navigating Conflict with Respect
- Giving Feedback UP and DOWN for Healthy Team Culture
- Leadership Comes from Any Role
