#17 Get the Micro-Manager on Your Side How curiosity can turn control into collaboration

Have you ever worked with a micro-manager who drove you mad? In this episode, I share a personal story of dealing with a controlling boss, along with a client case where asking curious questions changed everything. You’ll learn why intention and perspective matter when asking questions – and how curiosity can build trust, shift dynamics, and save both time and energy.

Listen to explore:

  • Why the word why can feel like dynamite – and how to reframe it.
  • How curious questions can turn frustration into collaboration.
  • A practical reflection tool to check your intention and perspective.
  • How small, conscious choices in daily leadership make a big difference.
