Episode notes
Send us Fan Mail Ever been promoted into leadership and felt like you had no idea what you were doing? You’re not alone. For new and “new-ish” managers, leadership can feel overwhelming—imposter syndrome creeps in, communication breaks down, and you’re left wondering if you’re really cut out for the role. In this episode of Joyfully Unstoppable, I sit down with Elissa Zylbershlag , founder and CEO of WorkWise Labs, to talk about how to move through those doubts, grow from mistakes, and build the confidence you need to lead with clarity and authenticity. Elissa has spent over 20 years helping managers build confidence, strengthen communication, and create cohesive, thriving teams. Through her Next Level Leadership program, she equips new and emerging managers with the tools they need to step into leadership without fear or overwhelm.
