We Are All Role Models - For Better or Worse

from Only Gets Better · host Heather and Selin

Episode 9: We don't need a platform to be an influencer - we all have an audience - just closer to home and a lot more observant. We dig into the difference between managers and leaders, good bosses and the ones that make you quietly update your LinkedIn. We talk about the kind that bring out your best—and the ones that make you question your life choices. And then we go home… where the real leadership test begins.  Selin stuns us with a stat of exactly how our kids learn from us, and we realize that they don't listen, they observe.  We unpack the slightly jarring moment when your child does something and you realize - for better or worse - they got that from me.And we surmise that if you care enough to worry about whether you're a good parent, you're probably doing ok.  If you're enjoying the show, please give us a rating and review, and most importantly, follow the show so you don't miss anything. Selin's recommendation: Maggie Dent - The ImperfectsHeather's recommendation: Tony BradyLinks Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/onlygetsbetterpodcast Selin’s Insta: https://www.instagram.com/littlefacelens Heather’s Insta: https://www.instagram.com/progression_lab Heather’s Substack: https://substack.com/@heatherpatersonwrites
