Promoted but no Leadership training?

Promoted, But Not Prepared!
Most new leaders are promoted because they were good at their job...
But leadership is a different job entirely.
Technical skills don’t teach you how to deal with passive aggression, team friction, or emotional outbursts.
So, they wing it.
Pretend.
Push through.
Until they burn out — or make a mess.
Write down three people you lead — and identify one thing each person needs from you right now.
This immediately shifts you from managing tasks to actually leading people.
In 6 months, I help new leaders build the confidence, clarity, and emotional intelligence their teams deserve. Stop setting your best people up to fail.
