I have only listened to one episode (the latest one, on cynicism), and I can already tell this is EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for. I am a very new supervisor and leader (in a Director position). This is a big career jump that I have worked extremely hard for. Today I was challenged by my own supervisor to think on what my recent motivations are. Am I seeking knowledge and skill to be a “rising star”? Or am I seeking knowledge and skill to be a “shining star”? Of course, there isn’t anything inherently wrong with either of these things. And both are important, even necessary, in different stages or phases in our lives. Regardless, this question really made me think. I finally feel like I’ve achieved my goals but have maybe not given myself the permission to simply settle and thrive. In other words, I’m really good at rising, but am I also good at shining? I came up with the goal to find just a little something to re-ignite a desire to learn, with the reframe that skills development is something I desire to do so I can shine, not something I feel like I need to so I can rise. Again, this is EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for.

You both have single handedly reminded me why I’ve worked so hard and why being in leadership is such a passion of mine and inspired me to continue finding my innovation and creativity with grace.

I would love any/all topics for new supervisors/leaders, skills development, navigating complex supervision situations and relationships, imposter syndrome in supervision, and ageism in supervision (especially as a young supervisor who is leading folks older and more seasoned than myself).
