Say It Skillfully® – New Job—1st Impression! Back to the Office… - a podcast by Molly Tschang

Say It Skillfully® is a show that helps you to benefit from Molly Tschang’s expert guidance on the best possible ways to speak your mind at work in a positive and productive manner. In Episode 122, Molly is joined by Jim, who shares that the results of a recent employee survey don’t fully jive with what he’s heard from his team. He’s keen to understand the disconnects. How to handle this so that people *really* tell him what they’re thinking? They cover the power of walking in others’ shoes, and what it means to lead. Next, Adriana is project managing a move of the entire company to a new facility, along with a new phase of people coming back to the office. She’s keen to enroll people in driving change and feeling empowered. Adriana and Molly discuss the criticality of clear messaging on why being in the office is a good thing and the power of transparency in project managing the move (21:00). Finally, Vanessa is in an exciting next career phase... building on her cleantech experience and moving to a new area, ESG, and as a manager. Well aware that team members have expertise and experience that she needs to learn from, she’s keen to make a strong first impression, build trust with the team and come across as a strong leader. They talk about the role of vulnerability and her interest in being likeable as well as admired (36:45). Don’t miss these lively conversations that help you with how to navigate work while being invaluable and true to yourself. Molly’s Thought for the Week, from marketing guru Seth Godin: “The roads not seen almost always matter more than the potholes we hit along the way.”
