    Great and useful podcast for new managers
    I've only been a manager for a few years and so I'm continuing to learn how to manage people, processes, and substantive matters. As a former litigation attorney who has transitioned to a non-legal role, I'm aware that lawyers tend to be terrible managers! This podcast has helped me tremendously.

    The vocal fry ruins it
    I really wanted to like this podcast but the host ruins it. The constant vocal fry and uptalk is awful!

    Great direction for an overlooked audience
    In my work as a DEI facilitator and consultant, I often see managers who are expected to be “all things” but don’t get the training and support to do it well. While we can challenge our organizations to do this differently, this podcast serves as a helpful guide for mid-level managers to build their people and management skills along the way.

    Great tips for managers!
    Practical advice for one of most important, but often overlooked groups in our workplaces, managers. Mamie does an excellent job bringing on and interviewing wise guests who provide actionable advice for challenges that managers face. Thanks, Mamie! Teri @StrongertoServe

    Getting ready for vacation
    This podcast is usually pretty good. However in the latest episode about preparing for vacation, I was very disappointed in Mamie’s take on deciding how much work you’re going to do while on vacation - how often to check emails, how available you’ll be to colleagues, etc. That’s not vacation and this is something that’s wrong with American business culture. Mamie didn’t even float the suggestion of completely unplugging for a period of time. During a time when burnout is rampant, business leaders need encouragement to disconnect, not tips on how to manage work while they’re on vacation. I would have emailed instead of writing a review but could find no way to do that on her website.

    The Podcast I’ve Been Looking For
    I’ve been looking for a podcast just like this for years and I’m so happy I finally found it. As a new manager, I wanted to get advice and learn new skills so I could be the best manager I could be. Come to find out, this podcast is so much more, addressing issues like confidence, conflict resolution and career growth. All the podcasts about work that I’d found previously were either men-focused (which is fine, but women have other, different struggles) or entrepreneur-focused (which I have no desire to be). I’ve only listened to handful of episodes of this podcast so far and have forwarded several to friends and colleagues. Highly recommend!

    Influencial Leadership
    It was an honor to be interviewed by Mamie Kenfer Stewart on the Modern Manager show. We talked about the importance of understanding your values, following your vision, and being able to have the courage to do something with that vision in order to transform your reality. She asked great questions and invited me to share strategies from my Influential Leadership Blueprint that can increase your management and leadership IQ. I highly recommend listening in to her show.
  • ArlieLP
    An incredible resource!
    It’s obvious Mamie puts extraordinary effort into every single episode. But what makes this show A is the quality of the guests, stories and tactics. She consistently finds management professionals that are authentic
  • savvy_entrepreneur
    Gems in each episode
    This is a podcast where you think it will be all "business-y", and yes, it is. But so much of what they cover (especially on communication) can be applied to your personal life. The ideas presented, shared by leaders from brands we all know, can really make you re-think the way you conduct your business and your life. Well worth the time.

    Outstanding podcast!
    I’ve been listening to the modern manager since the beginning. Week after week Mamie brings thoughtful topics, guests, and leads very interesting and helpful discussions. Highly recommended!

    Finally!
    This is one of the best podcasts I’ve followed. Finally, not only does Mamie and her guests give great tips that will grow great managerial skills, but also HOW to achieve them! Very helpful for new and experienced leaders alike. Keep them coming!

    Very Helpful!
    Coming from a manager that has had no proper training, this podcast is absolutely amazing and beyond helpful. They’re very engaging and not too lengthy. I do wish there were more that focused on small business retail/sales and how to build those teams but overall I’ve found this podcast to be a resourceful tool for management.
  • Mark Colgan
    If you care about your team, you need to listen to this podcast
    Mamie is awesome at interviewing key guests and teasing out the valuable knowledge they have to share. If you really care about your team, you definitely should listen to this podcast. Thanks Mamie!

    Informative and thought provoking
    This podcast absolutely keeps me engaged. I’m a newer supervisor and was promoted to my position a year ago. I’m learning so many useful tips on my journey to being a rockstar manager. Thanks so much for this material. It’s improved my life immensely, and I’m already seeing positive effect with my colleagues.

    Absolutely incredible! 🙌🙌🙌
    This is a must-listen podcast for anyone in a leadership role! Mamie does such an incredible job of bringing on guests who have empowering, insightful and actionable ideas to share - and her interviews are so candid that you actually get to learn in real-time (like you're there sitting-in on the conversation!). Thank you Mamie for bringing this podcast to the world and for the work you do to help level-up managers everywhere!

    You can’t afford not to listen!
    I heard Mamie on the Coaching for Leaders podcast talking about meetings. Her commentary and enthusiasm lead me to this podcast. The Modern Manager is fantastic! I’ve used the information directly to improve my meetings and forwarded to my team members to help develop our managers. Great content, easy to listen to and directly applicable to all.
  • Mi-Ba
    Great topics, relevant conversations
    I love this podcast!
  • WillSchneider
    Straight forward, impactful, great resources
    I’m a big fan of Mamie’s approach to this podcast. She makes challenging ideas simple and understandable, but each episode has huge implications in my work life (and sometimes personal life). I’ve made progress in areas I assumed would always be my weaknesses. The resources that accompany each episode are also great and I often print and share them with colleagues.
  • davidmandlerbeasleyclarke
    Generous, useful, and accessible
    This podcast makes it easy to find new ways forward as a leader and manager. Mamie's thoughtful outlines are filled with actionable advice and stories that bring best practices to life. She balances theory with practical advice that keeps the podcast grounded while also sketching out big pictures. I find myself relistening to episodes that are particularly relevant to current challenges but each one has something that improves my practice. As a parent, I also loved the first experimental PYB episode. Thanks for this, it's a gift!
  • christmas all the time
    Great podcast
    The Podcast provides thoughtful insight on how to meaningfully interact with your colleagues and reflect on ways to improve your day to day.
  • ComFusion
    Practical AND fresh info
    Mamie brings listeners a fresh perspective on being an awesome manager. I listen to a lot of podcasts and read a lot of articles, but the information presented here isn’t the same thing you hear everywhere else. It’s not rocket science, but she uses a smart approach and addresses every aspect of management with an understanding that there are no shortcuts. If you’re a manager looking to step up your game, this podcast is a must listen. You’ll get actionable takeaway information from every episode.
  • ElizabethEk
    Practical, thoughtful, necessary
    I found this podcast on Coaching for Leaders and I’m so glad I did. So much about what isn’t working at work is addressed and addressed well. A must listen for anyone who work works in modern business, no matter your role.

    A must listen for the leader of today and tomorrow
    I just started listening this week to the podcasts and have found the topics and content to be current, informative and enlightening. I am sure we all want to be rock star managers, but like everything in life it takes continuous effort and lifelong adaptivity. I am hooked.
