About this episode
Nai’a is a product operations manager at an education technology company that has gone through a major restructuring.

Anne and Frances help Nai’a reframe her mindset to be around approaching the situation with curiosity rather than judgment, effectively communicating her needs, and seeing her manager as a collaborator.
