In this episode of the Small Brave Moves podcast, we're discussing one of the most relevant challenges in leadership today—how to lead remote and hybrid teams without falling into the trap of micromanagement.

Because let’s be honest: working from anywhere can quickly turn into disconnected everywhere if we’re not intentional.

We explore:

  • How to create real connection without constant check-ins
  • Why micromanagement is fear in disguise—and how to lead with trust instead
  • Three rhythms that build strong remote teams (including the rituals I use with my own remote team)
  • The mindset shifts every brave leader needs in the virtual world
  • And three Small Brave Moves you can make this week to boost clarity, trust, and team momentum

If you’ve ever felt the urge to hover, over-communicate, or overcorrect in remote settings, this episode will help you step into brave, intentional leadership—no matter where your team is located.
