hey guys it is my honor to finally say this
but welcome to the boardroom
this is the podcast
where we're gonna have all the conversations
that usually stay hidden
closed behind those boardroom doors
because I know how blooming lonely it can be
when we become a manager
think things like managing peers that you know
used to be friends but now we have to manage them
all of a sudden having all the difficult
awkward conflicting conversations
that none of us really want to have
but we know we have to have them
and how weird it feels just walking into rooms
where everyone seems to feel so confident
articulate themselves so well
know exactly what to say
and all the time in the back of my mind I'm thinking
this shouldn't be me I don't feel ready for this
I don't feel experienced enough
but over the last 10 years
I have been in leadership roles
I've managed to work with thousands
and thousands of managers
and such a precious realisation for me was
everyone's winging it honestly
everyone is winging it so hey guys
I'm Heather Wilkinson I will be your host
I am a former PUTSY 100 Ops director
a leadership trainer an author
a Ted X speaker all the fun stuff
more importantly
just someone who is completely fascinated by
the emotional side of work
that nobody ever really talks about
because I know that
behind every single one of the promotions
that look
brilliant when we change the status on LinkedIn quietly
underneath all of that we have these voices in our head
the people pleasing voices
the imposter syndrome voices
the lack of confidence voices
and we are gonna unearth all of that
this is gonna be like therapy for me
I'm probably gonna say many things that I shouldn't
so I will stop rambling now
so welcome to the boardroom
this is the podcast where we're gonna open the doors
on all those conversations
that normally only ever happen in the boardroom
there will be absolutely no AI scripts here
I will have make a million and one mistakes
these are gonna be very real and raw conversations
and a new episode will land every single Wednesday
everywhere you get your podcasts speak soon
