Summary When you're promoted into management, the shift can feel like you're suddenly in charge, but with very little guidance. In this episode, Andy chats with executive coach and author James Turk about his insightful book The Giving Game: A Manager's Playbook for the First Year of Leadership. James brings decades of experience helping leaders navigate that tricky transition from individual contributor to team leader. They explore why being a subject-matter expert doesn't automatically make you an effective leader, and why the first 45 days in a new role are so critical. James shares practical advice for building a strong team climate, coaching instead of controlling, and why clarity is one of the greatest gifts you can offer as a manager. Plus, they discuss what new managers often miss about feedback and delegation (and how to avoid those traps). Whether you're newly promoted or preparing to step into a leadership role, this conversation is filled with actionable insights. If you're looking for real-world advice on how to lead when you're suddenly in charge, this episode is for you! Sound Bites “The number one reason employees don't do what they're supposed to do is that they don't know what it is.” “Leadership isn't about being the smartest person in the room. It's about creating the conditions for others to succeed.” “Climate is how it feels to work for you, and as a leader, that's something you have the power to shape every day.” “Coaching isn't fixing the past. It's investing in someone's future performance.” “Most people, when they're promoted, don't have the skills, and they're afraid to admit it.” “If I want people to do the work, they need to know what's expected of them.” Chapters 00:00 Introduction 01:57 Start of Interview 02:06 What early experiences shaped how you think about leadership? 05:30 Why call it 'The Giving Game'? 08:39 What would you coach me to do differently in my first 45 days as a new manager? 11:01 Why focus on climate instead of culture? 15:57 How do we shift teams from renter mode to ownership? 20:18 Why do so many managers think we're being clear? 21:42 How can leaders delegate in a way that builds ownership? 22:47 When did you make a delegation mistake because of lack of clarity? 25:25 What's an example of feedback that changed your career? 27:59 What do you think about the 'feedback sandwich' technique? 29:44 How can these ideas help parents at home? 32:10 End of Interview 32:31 Andy Comments After the Interview 36:15 Outtakes Learn More You can learn more about James Turk and his work at TheTurkGroup.com/TheGivingGameBook.

You didn't pour your heart into writing a book just to cross it off your to-do list. You wrote it because you have something to say that matters—something that deserves to be heard, remembered, and built on for years to come. A book isn't just a moment—it's a movement. It captures your ideas, your voice, and your perspective in a way that no speech, post, or marketing campaign ever could. And when you treat it like the powerful foundation it is, your book doesn't just open doors—it builds your legacy. That's why I'm so passionate about supporting entrepreneurs beyond just publishing. Because the real magic happens when you use your book as a launchpad for your bigger mission—the one that shapes your business, your brand, and your impact. If you're ready to think bigger about what your book can do, I'd love to chat. You can book a 30-minute brainstorming session at www.BookLaunchBrainstorm.com. Now, let's turn it over to our panelists, who had a message they felt compelled to share. CB Bowman has written two books, including “Courage to Leap & Lead: A Roadmap for Redefining Failure Into Success,”  a powerful roadmap that teaches leaders how to turn failure into success, embrace bold decision-making, and foster a culture of innovation through the everyday practice of courageous leadership. Gloria Treister wrote “Wellness 101: Simple Steps to Good Health,” a practical guide that empowers readers to simplify wellness, take control of their health, and create a personalized plan for a vibrant, healthier life. Please join me in welcoming CB and Gloria.  In this episode, we discuss the following:

Он само жели да се игра!", рекла је Мила с осмехом на лицу.En: "Look, Luka, see Rex! He just wants to play!" Mila said with a smile on her face.Sr: Међутим, Лука је имао озбиљан задатак — да импонује Мили својим вештинама и да избегне сусрет с Драгановим мачком, Вискерсом.En: However, Luka had a serious task — to impress Mila with his skills and avoid an encounter with Dragan's cat, Viskers.Sr: Драган, иначе човек за техничке ствари, довео је Вискерса, али то нису биле добре вести за Луку.En: Dragan, who was the tech guy, brought Viskers, but this was not good news for Luka.Sr: Он није волео мачке, а Вискерс је имао навику да неометано упадне у сваку просторију.En: He did not like cats, and Viskers had a habit of unannounced appearances in every room.Sr: Током преподнева, Рекс је, у својој игри, успео да запетља све каблове у предсобљу, стварајући хаос без премца.En: During the morning, Rex, in his playfulness, managed to tangle all the cables in the foyer, creating unmatched chaos.Sr: Вискерс је, узнемирен галамом, успео да се увуче у сервер собу и попео се на највишу полицу.En: Viskers, disturbed by the commotion, managed to sneak into the server room and climbed to the highest shelf.Sr: „Аууу, Лука, можеш ли помоћи?“, запита Мила која се борила да обузда Рекса.En: "Auuu, Luka, can you help?" Mila asked, struggling to restrain Rex.Sr: Лука је знао да је ово тренутак када мора да се докаже.En: Luka knew this was the moment he had to prove himself.Sr: Сабравши храброст, кренуо је ка сервер соби.En: Gathering his courage, he headed toward the server room.Sr: Вискерс је седео на полици, посматрао све око себе као да је господар света.En: Viskers was sitting on the shelf, observing everything around him as if he were the lord of the world.Sr: Лука, с погибељном решеношћу, попео се на столицу и пажљиво пружио руку ка мачки.En: Luka, with deadly determination, climbed onto a chair and carefully reached out to the cat.Sr: „Добар Вискерс, полако...“ говорио је, и на чудо, Вискерс му је дозволио да га узме у наручје.En: "Good Viskers, slowly..." he said, and miraculously, Viskers allowed him to pick him up.Sr: Дрхам тамо-где-не-би-требало, Рекс је одједном престао да лаје и прилазио иза Луке, машући репом.En: Causing trouble where he shouldn't, Rex suddenly stopped barking and approached behind Luka, wagging his tail.Sr: Лука је спустио Вискерса на под и Рекс и мачка су чудом постали једно од ретких партнерских парова у канцеларији.En: Luka put Viskers on the floor, and to everyone's amazement, the dog and the cat became one of the rare partner pairs in the office.Sr: Тог дана, када је хаос престао, Мила је похвалила Луку за његову оданост и храброст.En: That day, when the chaos ceased, Mila praised Luka for his dedication and bravery.Sr: Лука је с осмехом не више само преживео радни дан, већ је доказао да може да реагује и у најнеочекиванијим ситуацијама.En: With a smile, Luka not only survived the workday but proved that he could respond in the most unexpected situations.Sr: Научио је да се не треба бојати неочекиваног и стекао је нови осећај самопоуздања.En: He learned not to fear the unexpected and gained a new sense of confidence.Sr: Његови колеге, као и Мила, сада су га гледали с новим поштовањем.En: His colleagues, as well as Mila, now looked at him with new respect.Sr: Лука више није само млади аналитичар, већ лидер у настајању, који је избавио канцеларију од правог зверињака.En: Luka was no longer just a young analyst, but a leader in the making, who saved the office from a real menagerie.

I was honoured to be asked by Senator Lynn Ruane to interview Dr. Mohammed Mustafa in Trinity College this week. Dr. Mo, as he's known, is an emergency medicine doctor who spent two stints working in Gaza over the last eighteen months. Horrified by what he saw, and feeling deeply conntected to it via his Palestinian heritage, he has dedicated his time since to doing everything he can to get medical aid into the region. I'm delighted to bring a recording of this conversation to you as this week's Friday episode. The more people who hear from Dr. Mo, the better.

Changing careers is never easy—especially when it means leaving behind a high-paying, high-prestige profession to start something entirely new. But for our guest on Episode 202 of the Child Care Genius Podcast, it was a decision fueled by purpose. Mayosha Mendis, a former cancer researcher and EPA scientist, made the bold leap into early childhood education after becoming a mom—and realizing the kind of care she wanted for her own daughter simply didn't exist.   Tune in to this episode as Brian and Carol sit down with Mayosha to explore her inspiring journey from the science lab to the preschool classroom. You'll hear how her early experiences as a parent shaped her vision, why her center had a waitlist within just six months, and how she's now building an expanded program complete with a gourmet kitchen, outdoor learning spaces, and a curriculum designed to nourish both mind and body.   Listen in as Mayosha opens up about the challenges of ownership—what she wishes more child care providers understood about financials, why thinking like a business owner is essential, and how being part of the Childcare Genius University coaching program helped her fast-track success and avoid costly missteps.   If you've ever questioned whether you're cut out for this, or wondered if it's possible to lead with both heart and business sense, Mayosha's story is one you need to hear. She's proof that even with a completely different background, you can learn the ropes, face the challenges, and build something truly meaningful—one step, one lesson, and one big dream at a time.
