Talk about supervising others! 🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏽🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏻‍♂️ Dr. Tasia's “Things My Boss Never Told Me” is a podcast that unravels all of the nuances about supervising that our bosses kept hidden from us over the years. As a former higher education administrator with over a decade's worth of experience leading and managing teams, Dr. Tasia puts to the table all her knowledge, insights, and research to help you to become a better steward of your team, your company, and your career! Tune in today! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ABOUT THE HOST: As a scholarly practitioner and a doctor of education, Dr. Tasia foresees all learning as an opportunity to grow and level up. Stuck in a pandemic with a restraining job and little to no human interaction, Dr. Tasia realized more than ever that she needed to expand her vision beyond the temporal everyday job responsibilities. Combining over fifteen years of higher education administration experience and leveraging meaningful relationships, Dr. Tasia reinvented her career to serve an even greater section of people. As an entrepreneur, life Coach, and transformation leader with Vonni Coaching and Consulting LLC, Dr. Tasia launched the podcast Things My Boss Never Told Me. Her venture is that of true passion and a deep-rooted purpose to personally and professionally shape the lives of anyone who may need it.
