“Alcohol’s reputation is crumbling…” And I agree! That quote is from James Swanwick, Founder and CEO of Alcohol-Free Lifestyle, my guest on this episode of the B2B Leadership podcast. In January, I shared the transformation journey I’ve been on in my relationship with alcohol publicly for the first time. The response and support blew me away. I heard so many inspiring stories and received so many messages of appreciation for sharing my story. Having this conversation with James reinforced every decision I’ve made for the last 15 months regarding alcohol. Regardless of where you are right now, you’re going to get a lot out of this episode.

When you get promoted from manager to Director level, the game changes… You are now going to be responsible for the performance of multiple teams… And, you will also be managing managers as well… How do you get yourself ready for this promotion?

In a leadership position, what you say matters… Not just some of the time, all of the time. One statement can have the power to completely change someone’s day, week, month, year, or career. It is for this reason that any leadership position needs to be treated with the highest level of respect. On this episode, best-selling author and leadership coach Nils Vinje speaks with Patrick Mirza, Director of Content Marketing and Publications at WorldatWork. Patrick was on the receiving end of one statement that left him feeling discouraged and hollow. This conversation opened up a discussion about the importance of giving effective feedback.
