Quote from the show - ‘‘ Part of me thinks, you know, the pandemic is a horrible global situation that we're going through. However, one of the gifts it has generated is this massive, even reflective, movement through quarantine. And so for the first time, we were all forced to look at ourselves and go inward. We couldn't have all the distractions to allow us to not do that. And when we looked inward and we realized that we haven't been working there, people were like, oh crap. Now what? What do we do?’’ Resources mentioned in the show: The Infinite Game by Simon Sinek About the host: Amy Lynn Durham is the Founder of Create Magic At Work™ and a Spiritual Intelligence Coach.

| The Future of Middle Management and Employee Wellbeing w/ Roly Walter | 25 Oct 2021 | 00:30:17 | |
Since the COVID pandemic, the way people work has changed and some may be wondering, is there a place for middle managers in the workplace and if so, what role do they play in the health and wellbeing of their employees? In this episode, Amy is joined by Roly Walter. Roly is the founder of Appraisd, an employee performance management system that is unique in aiming to help managers get the best from their team members. Roly has built Appraisd from his garden shed to a global business with £1mm ARR. He has so far avoided external investment, worried that it would get in the way of his family life but also wanted to prove that you could build and scale a SaaS business through customer revenue. He is fascinated by what it means to be a manager – why middle management has become a dirty word, why management is seen as inferior to leadership, how managers also need to be coaches, mentors as well as holding their team members to account. Roly says it’s hard to be a manager, and this is what drives him to build tools to help. He also loves to regularly embarrass his two kids by playing guitar for their school’s Dads Band. Join Amy and Roly in this episode as they discuss:
Quote from the show - ‘‘Now we could look at the managers and think about what it means. If you're a new manager or you're a manager that has imposter syndrome, or you're a manager that has blind spots, how can we help those people so that the balance is absolutely equal and that manager and employee can really get the best from each other.’’ About the host: Amy Lynn Durham is the Founder of Create Magic At Work™ and a Spiritual Intelligence Coach.
