Escape Corporate Burnout and Redefine Leadership (feat. Tosca Fasso)

In this episode of Shift Your Day Job, I chat with Tosca Fasso, a former Wall Street executive who climbed from administrative assistant to the upper ranks of corporate leadership. However, the higher she went, the more she realized that Corporate America wasn’t giving her the freedom to make the changes she knew were needed. This led her to leave her high-powered position and start Manager on a Mission, a movement focused on reshaping management through trust and empowerment instead of fear.Tosca shares her career journey, from building a user research team to making the bold leap into entrepreneurship after corporate tightening and layoffs made her question the value of staying. We talk about how Tosca realized her job was affecting her health, which pushed her to rethink what really mattered to her and choose a career path that felt more true to her values and goals. That clarity and drive pushed her to leave her job ahead of schedule to build her own business and write her upcoming book, A Good Manager’s Guide to Better Feeling Work in a Toxic Culture.In this episode, we dive into lessons Tosca learned from her leadership experience, the challenges of transitioning into self-employment, and how to build a more supportive corporate culture that values employee growth and authentic leadership. We also explore the importance of having a strong support system, the need for managers to become mentors, and how younger generations are changing the way corporate America operates.This episode is packed with actionable insights for anyone navigating a career change or rethinking their leadership style—don’t miss it!Connect with ToscaWebsite: https://www.toscafasso.com/TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@itstoscafassoInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/itstoscafasso/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/toscamarie/---Connect with BrittanyWebsite: https://brittanycates.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shiftyourdayjob/Email: [email protected]: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brittanyncates/
