If you’re in management—or you want to be—you don’t need more pressure. You may need more clarity.

In Episode 82 of the What If It Works podcast, Ann explores what’s keeping leaders stuck: the lack of clarity, confidence, and conviction to lead the change they know is needed. Through a real-world story from an active supervisor, you’ll learn how one “good” leadership phrase can unintentionally weaken trust and slow down performance—and how one intentional shift can spark ownership, collaboration, and momentum across an entire team.

This episode is your reminder that stepping back isn’t abandoning your team—it’s building them.

What if it works?
