Being a new leader, either for the very first time, or starting with a new team can be down-right dreadful. And this is when things are going great, your team is tight-knit, time limits are being met, and you’re within budget. However, in reality, there is usually something going wrong, often minor, but there’s always something that requires the leader to be pushed emotionally and/or physiologically.In this episode, we’ll be talking to Courtney Johannesen, a Corporate Wellness Provider and Well-Being Coach who will teach us some tricks and tips to help us remain centred on ourselves and the task at hand before things spiral too far out of control.Support the showTrench Leadership: A Podcast From the Front is humbled to have been named #5 in the Top 20 for Best Canadian Leadership-themed podcasts for 2025.Connect to Trench Leadership:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYnaqOp1UvqTJhATzcizowATrench Leadership Website: www.trenchleadership.caLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/trench-leadership-a-podcast-from-the-front/?viewAsMember=trueAre you looking for a podcast editor/producer?
