What separates a manager from a leader? This week, Christine sits down with Shirley Sutton — a Sydney-based leadership coach and People & Culture expert — to bust the biggest myth in leadership: that you need to have all the answers.

Shirley is the creator of the Managers to Leaders program and the Authority Shift method, which has helped countless high performers stop waiting to be recognized and start leading with confidence. In this conversation, Christine and Shirley dig into what authentic leadership actually looks like, how to navigate the awkward shift from colleague to manager, why personal branding matters even if you don't manage a single person, and how to figure out your own communication style using tools like DISC.

You'll learn how to:

• Tell the difference between managing and leading
• Make the "authority shift" when you're promoted
• Delegate without losing your team's trust
• Communicate in a way that actually lands with different personality types
• Build a personal brand that supports your leadership goals

Plus, Shirley shares her favorite mantra ("there's no such thing as failure, just feedback") and her go-to recommendations for anyone building a career — or a business — on their own terms.
