Paradigm Shift with Christina Martini

In this episode, Christina Martini and Amii Barnard-Bahn discuss:

• Managing vs mentoring vs leadership.
• What it means to be a true leader.
• When to consider working with a coach.
• Tips to consider approaching your manager for a promotion.

Key Takeaways:

• “Before you're a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others.” - Jack Welch
• If you are valued at your organization, go to HR or your boss and ask if they will sponsor you for executive coaching. Everyone can benefit from a coach.
• Have promotion and compensation discussions as two different discussions.
• Show your best self when you are interviewing, whether with your own leadership or with a new company.

"Don’t grade yourself on the feedback you get, grade yourself on your response." — Amii Barnard-Bahn
