54: How to Prioritize When Everything Is a Priority and Your Boss Wants It All

How do you decide what to work on first when your manager hands you a list of ten priorities with no order and no deadlines, and every single item on that list is something she needs done right away?

This is the exact same question that our client Mandy was facing when she joined the Strategic Leadership Lab for Women.

Tune in to hear how Mandy found her starting point, what she carried into her next one-to-one with her manager and the surprising thing that shifted between the two of them once she did.

Mandy walks through all of it in this episode. Where she started. What she built. What she carried into the one-to-one that shifted everything. And the one sentence she began saying to herself before every meeting with her boss.

If you are a woman in leadership who is buried under competing priorities and quietly wondering whether you are the problem, this conversation is for you.
