    146. Leading a Team Integration

    146. Leading a Team Integration So today's episode is about bringing a team together and integrating them in a way that they're successful. Sometimes this happens when you are the leader taking over a team and bringing a new team underneath you as well. You might be a new leader who's joining an organization and is inheriting a team that you haven't had before. There are all kinds of different scenarios that this can happen. When a new team begins to work together, it can take time to be productive and effective. So if you can do this successfully, they become more productive more quickly. They create a stronger bond together, and they actually are excited about the things that you're going to do together. In this episode: Integrating a team with intention can make a difference in the success of the team. What are the team members thinking about during this kind of change? What does a leader need to know with a change like this? Look at leveraging more senior members on the team to support you as the new leader. Help people get to know you as a leader professionally and personally. Create a bonding experience for the team members to take advantage of through a Q&A activity. Ensure that you answer the questions that the team has for you in the best way that you can. Provide as much transparency as you can so they feel comfortable and build trust with you.

    144. Are You Managing Your Career?

    144. Are You Managing Your Career? Today’s episode is focused on your career. "By the time you got to this point in your career, did you think that you would be further along?" Whether you had a plan in your head or not, it is a good question to ask yourself. There may be a reason that you haven’t gone further. Up until now, would you say that you have had a career that wasn’t planned out and more accidental or a career that you managed? Most people would probably say accidental which is how I would characterize my own. Just imagine…How would things have been different for you if you had planned more? It isn’t too late to start now. In this episode: What does it mean to have a managed career? What does an accidental career look like? Why would someone take on a role that may not be a good fit for them? Creating clarity for what you want in a role. Researching potential roles to determine what you might want to do. Having an informational interview with people who have roles of interest to you.

    141. How Are You Being Perceived?

    141. How Are You Being Perceived? Today’s episode is about your perception and how that can impact your career opportunities. At a basic level your perception is how people in your organization view your leadership and your work. We used to say all the time that right or wrong, your perception is reality. If you are being viewed in the way that you want, then your perception equals the reality. However, if you are being viewed in a way that is very different than how you want, then you have to ask yourself the following questions: Will the current perception hold me back in my career? Do I want to be seen differently by my management? If the answer is yes to both of those questions, then you will need to do the work to shift how you show up so you can be seen in the way that you want. In this episode: What do you do when you find out your perception isn’t what you thought it was? Are you paying attention to your personal brand? What happens if you don’t manage your perception? What can impact your perception? Perceptions are reality and you need to manage yours. You can change the perception of your personal brand. What inputs you need to create a new perception of your personal brand.

    140. Embracing Your Role as a Leader

    140. Embracing Your Role as a Leader In today’s episode we are going to explore the question, are you embracing your role as a leader? When you step into a leadership role, it is important to be consistent, intentional and have the recognition that it is a continuous learning journey. Your team and your management want you to lead and expect that from you. Sometimes it is just a shift in your own mind that is the biggest change you need to make. Believing that you can do this and experimenting with what works best for you. In this episode: A story about the experience of transitioning into a new leadership role. Challenges that a new leader faces internally about the new role. Taking on a leadership role changes your identity. What shifts does the new identity require you to make? Each transition requires a new level of operating at a higher level as a leader. A client example of someone who is not acting as a leader but couldn’t see it. Ways to embrace your leadership role and see that you are ready.

    139. Relationships Make the Difference

    139. Relationships Make the Difference In this episode, I will be focused on how relationships can make a difference for you as a leader and being known by others. Having strong relationships are beneficial in so many ways, but I don’t think that people always think of their relationships in the way that they should. Having these connections and relationships to lean on is an asset for your professional network and reputation that you need more than you realize. You can’t do it all by yourself and the higher you go, the more important relationships become. In this episode: How relationships in business supported me in my career. The importance of having these relationships to leverage when you need them. A list of ways to consider relationships and the impact they can have for you. What to do if you struggle to build relationships. How to apply the ideas in each of the ways that relationships can help you. Consider creating a plan that will help you create stronger relationships. The Visibility Factor Podcast is brought to you in part by the Amplify You Program.
