Increasing your soft skills as a Digital Marketing Manager

In this episode, we’re joined by Paddy Moogan. Paddy is Founder of The New Leader, a training platform that enables agency teams to become more effective managers and leaders. He also works with agency founders as a coach and non-exec director to help them navigate the world of agency life. Previously, he spent ten years as CEO and co-founder of Aira, a digital marketing agency based in the UK.This episode dives deep into the practical skills that separate mediocre managers from inspiring leaders. You'll discover why active listening is Paddy's secret weapon (born from an unexpected place), and how to deliver difficult feedback in ways that motivate rather than discourage. Whether you're struggling with delegation, managing remote teams, or having tough conversations about performance, Paddy offers actionable strategies that work in the real world of agency life.| A good leader is probably someone who listens... They're better at listening to people. They try to empathize. They try to have a high degree of emotional intelligence, and I think really, they're quite selfless in many ways. ~ Paddy MooganThis episode is for you if you’re curious about the following:How to become a good managerIf you're in a management role and you don't have any management experience or trainingHow can you improve your management skillsHow you can improve your leadership skills, no matter what your professional position.Connect With PaddyVisit The New Leader websiteConnect with Paddy on LinkedInFollow Paddy on BlueskyFollow Paddy on MastodonResourcesFind resources on episode webpage.Send us Fan MailHere's how you can support this podcast if you’re enjoying the episodes and finding them useful:You can send me a donation at buymeacoffee.com/DMVpodcast.
