Welcome to The Weekly Shift

If you’re reading this, chances are you’ve stepped into leadership and discovered pretty quickly that the playbook vanished the moment you got promoted.

I know that feeling well.

When I became a first-time sales manager, I went from being a top individual contributor to suddenly responsible for other humans, their growth, and their results. And while there were plenty of books and courses, I couldn’t find anything that spoke directly to the daily, in-the-trenches reality of leading a team.

So I started building the tools I needed.

Now, I’m sharing them with you.

The Weekly Shift is your 2-minute tune-up: one actionable post each week for new managers and rising leaders. It’s not fluff. It’s not theory. It’s the stuff I wish I had on Monday morning.

Each issue includes:

• One quote from a leader who’s been there

• One framework you can use this week

• One challenge to sharpen your edge

Plus, you’ll get some early access to tools, kits, and both virtual and live events. In fact, if you haven’t gotten my Candid + Kind Talk Track (part of the Manager Jumpstart Kit available at dgtm.us) then please email me so I can send it over!

Whether you’re managing your first team or just trying to lead with more clarity, The Weekly Shift is here to help you build reps, stay grounded, and lead better - one shift at a time.
