    brAVe [skills] Ep 15: Tipping the Scales

    How do we keep the system stable? What signals matter?  Tech leaders know all too well that system maintenance cannot be overlooked. In this revisitation of our episode called The Great Balancing Act, we explore practical concepts to ensure that we maximize uptime for the most important part of any system: the person operating it. We will attempt to answer questions surrounding concepts of work-life integration, delegation, and prioritization to help us avoid the road that so often leads to burnout.

    Ep 78: What Are You Carrying? with James King

    brAVe [space] is BACK! In this episode of brAVe [space], Britt Yenser returns to the microphone for the first guest-centered recording since her maternity leave. Britt welcomes back returning guest James King for a thoughtful discussion about the unseen pressures many professionals carry in their work. James reflects on what he calls the “invisible backpack”: the worries, responsibilities, and expectations that quietly weigh on leaders, especially those in middle management. In roles built around service and support, it’s common advice to focus on what keeps your boss up at night. But what happens when we never stop to examine what’s keeping us up at night? Together, Britt and James unpack the emotional and professional load carried by people who support teams, systems, and institutions every day. They explore the realities of leadership in technical fields, the tension between service and self-preservation, and the importance of recognizing the hidden work that often goes unspoken. This episode is a candid look at responsibility, resilience, and the importance of acknowledging the weight we carry—so we can lead, support, and grow more sustainably. Whether you work in AV, higher education, or any service-driven profession, this conversation will resonate with anyone who’s ever felt the quiet pressure of the “invisible backpack.” Connect with James King LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/james-king-nj/ X: https://x.com/AV_JamesKing Connect with Britt Yenser LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/britt-yenser/ X: https://x.com/brAVe_britt_
