Anything related to being a first-time manager — not just managing people, but the full picture. Here are some themes I get asked about most:
Difficult conversations — feedback, conflict, performance issues, letting someone go
Team dynamics — trust, motivation, culture, dealing with cliques or disengagement
The transition — imposter syndrome, managing former peers, finding your leadership style
Processes & structure — 1-on-1s, delegation, time management, hiring, onboarding
Managing up — dealing with your own boss, navigating politics, getting buy-in, advocating for your team
Goals & results — setting KPIs, cascading company goals, balancing people care with delivering outcomes
Working with HR — processes, compliance, formal reviews, documentation, what HR actually expects from you
The messy stuff — the situations that don't fit neatly into categories. Those are often the best questions.
