The Leadership Mind Navigating Uncharted Waters as a Manager & Coach with Kristen Hartley Part 1
Massimo’s guest is Kristen Hartley. In her coaching, Kristen brings all of her experiences to bear; these include working as a coach, organizational consultant, facilitator, trainer, and manager of many teams. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Sociology and Communications from the University of California, San Diego and an MBA from Vanderbilt University with a focus in Human and Organizational Performance. She lives in Northern California with her husband and their two young, very active sons. She is on a lifelong pursuit of balance in her own life, as someone who loves her work, being a parent, and getting more than 6 hours of sleep! Being a parent has more parallels to being a coach and leader than she ever could have imagined and is experimenting and learning every day how to be better at all of these roles. She loves working with fellow parents who are on a similar journey.
Highlights from this episode include:
- The struggles Kristen faced going from a manager and recipient of trainings to being the trainer and facilitator herself
- Her advice for managers and leaders navigating uncharted waters like hybrid working and quiet quitting
- How Kristen would rebrand feedback and better ways to have hard conversations than the traditional ways we are taught
