If you don’t have clear boundaries on when to share one’s work, a person can get wrapped up in it and let it become part of them.

#130 – Live from SUPCONF NYC
It’s our live show from SUPCONF NYC! With it’s AMA style, we tackle everything from “Do you have any advice for someone who wants to get into support with no experience?” to “Would you rather be a dragon or have a pet dragon?”.
#129 – Turn the Ship Around!
With our final Book Club episode of the series, we look at “Turn the Ship Around!” from David Marquet. This quote from the book sums things up nicely:

We look at what a leader-leader model means for our teams, how to think out loud in both in-person and remote situations, and why training is okay if it’s active.
