In this episode, I dive into the powerful insights from the first chapter of The First 90 Days by Michael D. Watkins, exploring the common transition traps that can derail us during periods of change. 

Reflecting on my own experiences, I share how I fell into some of the traps and got caught in the vicious cycle described in the book. With transparency and honesty, I unpack the lessons I’ve learned and offer actionable takeaways for navigating transitions more effectively.

Whether you're stepping into a new role, starting a new project, or just been promoted, this episode will help you recognize and avoid the pitfalls of transition traps while empowering you to move forward with clarity and confidence. 

Tune in for personal reflections and practical strategies inspired by this transformative book!
