The New Manager Podcast

Bonus Friday: People Pleasing

Today we revisit Ep. 89: People Pleasing. As a new manager, you might feel a tendency to people-please flare up.  It can get in the way by causing you to overwork (by having no boundaries), communicate poorly (by avoiding conversations or not being direct), or creating more pressure and anxiety (by ruminating).  In this episode, you'll see what creates the impulse to people-please, and what to do instead.  So you can be intentional in making decisions, and use your people-pleasing awareness for the best. After the Episode:I'm taking new clients!

224. Empathy at Work

People are human. They have emotions. If you care how people feel, you might over-identify with their feelings (or how you think they will feel) -- and then try to manage their emotions with people-pleasing or avoidance. So today, we're going to clarify what empathy is, and where to start so you can work with emotions better at work.**After the Episode**For private coaching on your situation and goals:https://kimnicol.com/Get notified of upcoming dates for Communication Strategies for Managers course:https://maven.com/kimnicol/communication-strategiesConnect with me on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimnicol/Thanks for listening!
