Rethinking red flags: how to read what’s really going on at work-

Ever felt something was off at work—but couldn’t tell if it was you or them?

In this episode, we go beyond the binary red flag checklists and explore how senior leaders assess subtle tension with clarity and nuance.

💡 What we’ll unpack:

  • 3 quiet situations that often get misread as red flags
  • How past experiences can distort your current lens
  • A real-world coaching story: when to trust your gut (and when to ask for a second lens)
  • How to shift from reaction to clarity when the pressure’s on

🎧 Listen in—especially if something feels off lately, but you can’t yet name what.
