In this I by IMD podcast, host Michael Watkins, Professor of Leadership and Organizational Change, sits down with executive coach Brenda Steinberg to discuss a common challenge: the "post-summer blues."

They reframe this experience not as a slump but as a transition and discuss the importance of acknowledging and processing the seasonal change.
