    406: What to Do Instead of “Pushing Though” During Tough Times with Jay Abbasi

    Resilience is often framed as pushing through, staying positive, and powering past challenges. But that version of resilience can backfire, especially for managers trying to support their teams. When leaders jump too quickly into problem-solving or positivity, they can unintentionally make people feel unheard, dismissed, or disconnected. Fortunately, this week’s guest shares a more effective approach to building resilience, one that starts with acknowledging what people are actually experiencing and then guides them toward solutions. Jay Abbasi is a leadership coach and former executive who helps individuals and organizations develop resilience, improve performance, and lead through challenges with greater awareness and intention. In this conversation, we explore how to support resilience in others without falling into toxic positivity, practical coaching techniques that help people find their own solutions, and how to lead teams through difficult moments by creating space, trust, and honest dialogue. Conversation Topics (00:00) Introduction(02:18) Rethinking resilience beyond “just pushing through.”(05:46) Why positivity can sometimes make things worse(09:12) The importance of acknowledging what people are experiencing(12:34) Coaching instead of fixing: helping others find their own solutions(16:08) Powerful coaching questions that shift perspective(19:27) Asking permission before giving advice(22:41) Creating psychological safety through active listening(26:15) Supporting individuals without becoming their therapist(29:38) Leading teams through uncertainty and difficult news(32:56) [Extended Episode Only] Supporting team resilience in real time(33:44) [Extended Episode Only] Why “I hear you” matters more than solutions(36:44) [Extended Episode Only] Coaching techniques to unlock better thinking(40:14) [Extended Episode Only] How to lead team conversations during tough moments 📚 Additional Resources: ✨ Get the extended episode by joining The Modern Manager Podcast+ Community for just $15 per month ✨ Read the full transcript: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YIXQtsAmWSuIXfl4ZDdfJ0INFUN2W5w8OA6yZrIC004/edit?usp=sharing    ✨Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leadershipwithmamie/  ✨Visit my website for more: https://www.mamieks.com/  ✨Upskill your team: https://themodernmanager.com/replaybundle  ✨ Subscribe to my YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7jhYz8b16g1SsLia4EhO5w?sub_confirmation=1  Keep up with Jay Abbasi - Connect with Jay on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jayabbasi/ - Follow him on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jayabbasi_/ - Follow him on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thejayabbasi - Subscribe to his YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@jayabbasipodcast Guest Bonus: Free PDF: 7 Strategies To Build Unshakable Resilience  This PDF offers guidance on how to support your own resilience.

    405: The Hidden Causes Of Burnout (And How To Fix Them Before It's Too Late) - Part 1

    Most managers assume burnout is caused by one thing: workload. But in reality, burnout is rarely that simple. It’s usually the result of multiple hidden workplace dynamics that quietly drain energy over time long before anyone officially burns out. In this episode, I break down six overlooked causes of burnout that show up in everyday leadership decisions, from false urgency and unfair treatment to relentless change, limited growth, and feeling undercompensated. You’ll also learn how to recognize early warning signs of burnout, understand what’s really driving disengagement, and take simple, practical steps to prevent it from escalating. By the end of this episode, you’ll see how burnout actually develops beneath the surface and what you can do as a manager to stop it before it spreads across your team. Conversation Topics (00:00) Why burnout is often misdiagnosed as just workload (01:19) The difference between productive stress and destructive drain (02:34) Cause #1: False urgency and constant crisis mode (03:55) Cause #2: Unfair treatment and its ripple effect on trust (05:36) Cause #3: Relentless change without explanation (06:26) Cause #4: Excessive workload and lack of support (07:07) Cause #5: Limited growth opportunities (08:43) Cause #6: Feeling undercompensated (10:01) Why burnout is usually a combination of multiple causes (11:15) [EXTENDED ONLY] How to talk to team members about burnout risk.

    404: How to Spot and Stop Toxic Workplace Culture with Aoife O’Brien

    Toxic workplaces come in many different forms that we might not always notice.  And because we aren’t all affected in the same ways, even the most well-meaning managers can unintentionally contribute to an unhealthy culture if they aren't paying close attention.  Aoife O’Brien is an organizational psychologist, leadership expert, and author of Thriving Talent. Her work focuses on helping organizations create environments where people feel psychologically safe, aligned to meaningful work, and able to perform at their best. In this conversation, we explore what actually makes a workplace toxic, practical ways to spot the early warning signs of an unhealthy culture, and clear, everyday actions you can take to foster trust, respect, and psychological safety.

    403: How To Escape The Either/Or Trap And Make Better Decisions

    You’re stuck between two options, going back and forth, trying to figure out the “right” choice. Should you hire or not? Change systems or stay the same? Restructure or keep things as they are? The more you think about it, the more stuck you feel. It’s easy to assume the answer is hidden somewhere between those two choices, but often, that’s the real problem. You’re treating a complex decision as if it only has two possible paths. In this quick lesson, I share five practical strategies to help you break out of binary thinking and expand your options.  By the end of this lesson, you’ll know how to approach decisions more creatively, uncover better solutions, and move forward with greater confidence, without feeling stuck between “either” and “or.” Conversation Topics (00:00) Why either-or thinking keeps you stuck in tough decisions(00:59) How binary thinking limits better, more creative solutions(01:30) Strategy 1: Generate “options within options” to expand your choices(03:03) Strategy 2: Challenge the assumptions behind your choices(03:58) Strategy 3: Sequence decisions instead of treating them as permanent(04:20) [Extended Episode] Strategy 4: Create hybrid solutions that combine the best of both options(04:44) [Extended Episode] Strategy 5: Reframe decisions from different stakeholder perspectives(05:20) How to recognize when you’re stuck in either-or thinking(05:40) Your challenge: Apply one strategy to a current decision(06:00) Why better decisions come from expanding, not narrowing, your options 📚 Additional Resources ✨ Read the transcript:  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CqY5XO5bUVxKGO8gxqEneN4DtYWGOoVykBuwYM6C1K4/edit?usp=sharing  ✨ Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leadershipwithmamie/  ✨ Visit my website for more: https://www.mamieks.com/  ✨ Level up your skills: https://themodernmanager.com/replaybundle  ✨ Subscribe to my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7jhYz8b16g1SsLia4EhO5w?sub_confirmation=1  The Modern Manager is a leadership podcast for rockstar managers who want to create a working environment where people thrive and great work gets done.

    402: The Missing Link Between Communication and Connection with Nidhi Tewari

    We often think our reactions at work are about what’s happening in the moment: a frustrating colleague, a difficult conversation, or a stressful situation. But what if those reactions are actually coming from somewhere else? For many managers, moments of irritation, defensiveness, or emotional overwhelm can feel confusing or even unprofessional. But these responses aren’t random and they’re not a sign that something is wrong with you. Fortunately, this week’s guest explains how our past experiences shape our present-day interactions and how developing self-awareness can help us respond more thoughtfully instead of reacting automatically. Nidhi Tewari is a therapist and leadership expert who helps individuals and organizations build emotional intelligence, navigate interpersonal dynamics, and create healthier, more connected workplaces. In this conversation, we explore why certain people trigger us, how to recognize when your reaction is disproportionate to the moment, and a simple framework you can use to regulate your emotions and lead more effectively. We also discuss how to support team members through difficult moments without crossing the line into becoming their therapist. Conversation Topics (00:00) Introduction(01:41) The Science of Attunement: How We Sync With Others(03:38) Body Language, Energy, and Emotional Contagion(05:11) Attuning to Organizational Culture and Unspoken Norms(06:37) Case Study: Supporting Neurodivergent Teams(08:28) The CHECK-IN Framework for Difficult Conversations(13:32) Attunement in Remote Work: What Changes(15:56) Spotting Behavioral Shifts and Subtle Signals(17:18) Connection Gaps: Why Conversations Break Down(23:27) From Fixer to Explorer + A Story of Great Leadership(32:41) [Extended Episode Only] How to support employees while maintaining boundaries(36:52) [Extended Episode Only] The importance of normalizing and validating emotions(39:21) [Extended Episode Only] The right way to refer employees to additional support 📚 Additional Resources: ✨ Get the extended episode by joining The Modern Manager Podcast+ Community for just $15 per month ✨ Read the full transcript: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ewlJYvzfKfIScl9mrdHqd61HTW_TuSJKoJGRGse6qEs/edit?usp=sharing    ✨Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leadershipwithmamie/  ✨Visit my website for more: https://www.mamieks.com/  ✨Upskill your team: https://themodernmanager.com/replaybundle  ✨Subscribe to my YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7jhYz8b16g1SsLia4EhO5w?sub_confirmation=1  Keep up with Nidhi Tewari - Follow Nidhi on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nidhitewarilcsw/?hl=en - Visit her website: https://www.nidhitewari.com - Check out her book Working Well: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/788782/working-well-by-nidhi-tewari-msw-lcsw-foreword-by-amy-cuddy/ --------------------- The Modern Manager is a leadership podcast for rockstar managers who want to create a working environment where people thrive and great work gets done.

    401: How to Use Nature to Rewire Your Brain for Greater Focus, Creativity, and Energy with Dr. John La Puma

    We spend most of our time indoors moving from screens to meetings to more screens without realizing the toll it’s taking on our focus, energy, and overall well-being. For many managers, burnout and fatigue feel like a personal failing or just “part of the job.” But what if the real issue isn’t you… it’s your environment?

His work helps leaders rethink how their daily surroundings influence not just their well-being, but also their decision-making, creativity, and relationships at work.

    Empathy is often talked about as a “soft skill,” but in reality, it can be one of the most powerful leadership strategies for building trust, improving collaboration, and helping teams perform at their best. When leaders understand the experiences and stories that shape how people think, communicate, and respond under pressure, they can lead in ways that make team members feel truly seen and supported. But empathy at work isn’t just about being kind or having surface-level conversations. It requires curiosity, listening, and taking action based on what you learn. This week’s guest shares practical ways leaders can bring empathy into everyday workplace interactions, from asking better questions to creating small moments where team members can share their stories and build stronger connections.
