388: What to Do When Your Team Confides in You
Manage episode 514857412 series 2104244
If you’ve ever had a team member close your office door or send you a late-night message sharing a deeply personal challenge, I know exactly how overwhelming that can feel. On one hand, it’s a compliment that they trust you. But suddenly, you’re carrying more than you ever expected, balancing being a supportive leader with not taking on too much.
Today you’ll hear my favorite scripts and strategies for responding in the moment, practical ways to offer resources without blurring lines, and tips for protecting your own energy. I’ll also talk about how sharing or not sharing can be a sign of trust or a red flag, and why your job is to be resourceful, not a rescuer.
