"This was extremely helpful.
I really appreciate you challenging the idea of me taking away the job. Because when I do look at all the facts of this employee's behavior and actions, most of them point to them not wanting to be here in the first place.
I feel a lot better about the situation. Although still nervous, I feel more concrete that the decision I'm making is the right one. Thank you for working with me, Michelle. I'm very grateful to have another perspective."

"I used to agonize over every decision because it seemed like I could never make everyone happy, and take everyone's feedback so personally it would just replay in my head all night. Working with Michelle helped me build a better place to work so employees would be happy instead of people pleasing to keep them happy. Now, my team respects me more. And I finally feel like I'm actually LEADING instead of just reacting to everyone's feelings."

Be Courageous - Ever Evolving & True to Yourself
This isn't leadership theory from someone who just learned it to teach it.
This is real-world leadership from someone who's been in your shoes.
I've had employees quit with no notice and had to bail on family commitments to get the job done.
I've hired who I thought was star only to fire them 2 months later and gone back to the drawing board.
I've become too friendly with staff and felt the painful sting of watching them take advantage because of it.
I've wondered - how the f*ck am I going to fix this? Too many times to count.
I've cried some angry tears and questioned if I'd reached the limits of my talent.
And... I pulled out of all of those situations.
By elevating my self-leadership and team leadership, one notch at a time, to break through each new ceiling I hit.
Every step of the way, I had someone I could call for advice, for an ear, for support.
Because we don't get good in our own silo.
The Leaders' Lounge is different because you get ME.
Someone who's lived it, breathed it, failed at it, mastered it, and can guide you through your own leadership journey.
