We’ve arrived at #2 🎉
Starting something new is equal parts exciting + terrifying. Whether you’re walking into a brand new office or logging into your first remote team call, those early days carry so much weight.
This is the episode I wish everyone had before their first day. We walk through a simple framework to navigate your first 90 days with intention, plus bonus tips to make virtual onboarding feel less like a Zoom marathon and more like a real beginning.
And yes… I share the story of my own unforgettable first day. It involves keys, a car, and a brick. You’ll want to hear it!
+ Your first 90 days are about understanding the ecosystem you’re joining (not proving yourself!)
+ Curiosity beats perfection every time. Asking thoughtful questions builds trust faster than having all the right answers ever could.
+ A great first impression requires presence, follow-through, and showing up like the role already matters to you.
Ask one thoughtful question this week that helps you understand the business or industry better. Not to impress, but to genuinely learn. That’s how trust gets built… and it’s how you grow.
