Why Do We Talk About Leadership So Much
Ever wonder why we're constantly talking about leadership?
In the first episode of Season 2, we chat about how leadership practices transform admin work from "just paying the bills" to a career you're genuinely excited about.
We'll dive into why taking yourself seriously as a professional (even when others don't yet) opens doors you might not have seen before. You'll discover how leadership shifts your focus from the daily task list to the meaningful impact behind your work, while still leaving room for your authentic self to shine through.
And here's the real kicker – we explore why leadership from the admin's chair often creates waves that ripple further than those from the corner office, precisely because you're connected to every part of the organization in ways executives simply aren't.
