You Got Promoted… Now You’re Bad at Your Job? | The Promotion Nobody Prepared You For - Ep 2

Welcome to Episode 2 of Barely Manageable.You worked hard. You knew your job. You were dependable, productive, and probably one of the best on the team… and then one day someone tapped you on the shoulder and said, “Congratulations… you’re the supervisor now.”Suddenly, the skills that made you successful don’t feel like enough anymore. The work you used to love looks different, your coworkers now see you differently, and the confidence you once had gets replaced with one big question… Wait… am I even good at this?In Episode 2, Dana Kelly and Mary Linkous dive into the promotion nobody really prepares you for—the shift from doing the work… to leading the people doing it. They share real stories, hard lessons, awkward first moments, and what happens when being great at your job suddenly isn’t the job anymore.They’re not experts—just two women with decades of real-world experience, plenty of mistakes, some hard-earned wins, and a lot of stories from muddling through leadership one day at a time.If you’ve ever been thrown into leadership and thought “Nobody trained me for this…” you’re in the right place. Because leadership isn’t perfect… and neither is this podcast.It’s Barely Manageable.Connect with Barely Manageable:🌐 Website: BarelyManageable.com📸 Instagram: @barelymanageablepodcast🎵 TikTok: @barelymanageablepod▶️ YouTube: Barely Manageable Pod💬 Reddit: r/BarelyManageablePod 🔗 All Links: linktr.ee/barelymanageablepodcast⭐ Like, subscribe, and leave a 5-star review if this episode hit home.🛒 Save 50% off of your Sam's Club membership with this link! https://tr.ee/1S6cq8OOeq👞 Get up to 30% off Docs spirit with this link! https://tr.ee/S216rofW60
