Manage episode 394273970 series 1521165
Season two of Open Space Radio begins today! For the next year, we will focus on conversations around the 2024 NRPA annual theme, “Where You Belong,” and we’re so excited to kick off this season with a wonderful conversation.
On today’s episode, we’re joined by Gabby Vera, CPRP, the regional park superintendent for Maricopa County (Arizona) Parks and Recreation. Between her session at the 2023 NRPA Annual Conference and her Open Space blog post, titled, “You’ve Got This” — which explored practical strategies to boost self-confidence, overcome imposter syndrome and thrive in your leadership journey — we knew we wanted to have a conversation with Gabby on the podcast.

What imposter syndrome is and how it can show up in your life or career
How to create psychologically safe spaces that encourage staff to take on new challenges and ask for help

How to support colleagues, acknowledge them for stepping up and celebrate their successes
And much more!
