How to find your people as a leader

You're in a leadership role and something's shifted. The people you used to talk things through with? That's complicated now. Your team can't be your sounding board because you're their boss. Your own boss has their own agenda. And the networking advice you see everywhere feels exhausting when what you actually need is someone you can be real with.


This episode of Career Espresso is about finding people who actually get what you're dealing with. Not networking contacts or professional visibility. Actual people who understand leadership from the inside.

What you'll discover

* Why isolation isn't just uncomfortable - it makes you make worse decisions and lose perspective on how you're doing

* The three criteria that define your actual people (not just professional contacts)

* Where to look for peer relationships that work, including the people you're probably overlooking

* How to start these connections without it feeling awkward

* What keeps leadership relationships alive when you're overwhelmed


Perfect for women leaders who need people they can be honest with, not just a professional network.
