Bubbling Out: a podcast for people who lead.

The TRUTH About Promotions Nobody Tells You (Until Now)

August 20, 2024 ā€¢ Emily Rose Dallara "The Leadership Doula" ā€¢ Season 2 ā€¢ Episode 5

I'm back with a quickie solo episode, diving into the world of promotions and leadership. As someone who's been there, done that, and coached others through it, I wanted to share some real talk about what happens when you step into those big roles - you know, Director, VP, C-suite level stuff.

Here's the thing: what got you here won't get you there. When you're promoted, you need to shift gears from being the technical expert to becoming a true leader. It's not just about doing the work anymore; it's about leading a team without burning out.

In this episode, I break down:

  • Why trying to prove yourself too quickly is a recipe for disaster (09:00)
  • The danger of jumping to conclusions in a new role (09:50)
  • How neglecting your personal transition can lead to failure (11:24)
  • The importance of embracing a learner mindset (12:35)
  • Why emotional resilience is crucial for leadership success (13:46)

I also share a bit about my own experiences, including how I burnt out twice in my first head of marketing role (06:37). But don't worry, I've got your back! 

I mention my free mini-course that'll help you nail those first 90 days in a new role (15:10).
