Welcome to the show.

Jon Cooke, a coach and former manager shares his experiences and insights on the journey from being a manager to becoming a leader.

He emphasizes the importance of self-investment and understanding one's own strengths, weaknesses, and motivations as a manager. He also stresses the need to bring one's authentic self to the role and find fulfilment in the work.

Jon draws parallels between the challenges faced by managers and those faced by parents, highlighting the transferable skills and lessons from one domain to the other.

We discuss the impact of becoming a parent on one's identity and the need to strike a balance between work and family responsibilities. Jon shares his personal experience of overworking and the realization that happiness and contentment are more valuable than just financial success.

We hope you enjoy the show!
