Exploring the Work Life of the Sh*t Show Manager and Supervisor From Chaos to Calm

In this episode, there will be some adult language.

Click to listen to Episode 19 – Exploring the Work Life of the Sh*t Show Manager and Supervisor

How’s it going, Managers and Supervisors?

My husband was looking at Facebook and saw an advertisement for a hat that said “Sh*t Show Supervisor. He sent it to me, and we both laughed. I said I should do a podcast episode on the Sh*t Show Manager and Supervisor, get the hat, and wear it while recording it. Too funny. I did consider it, and I might get one. 🙂

What is your definition of a Sh*t Show Manager and Supervisor?

A Sh*t Show Manager or Supervisor is a funny, sarcastic phrase for any manager or supervisor who has to deal with constant chaos, situations that are out of control, and managing of staff, which often turns out badly a total mess, failure, or a downright disaster.

Let’s get real here, Managers and Supervisors are the dumping ground for everything. They get the blame from the top and below. They are in the daily firing range and constantly try to dodge a bullet throughout the workday, every day while at work.

As the years go by, as managers or supervisors, the daily grind starts to wear on them, and some get to the point they don’t give a sh*t anymore, and some are just trying to get through the day without dealing with constant chaos. The job can jade the person’s faith in others, and they start questioning people’s motives and behaviors, especially if they experience betrayal and backstabbing in the workplace.

If you have ever been a manager or supervisor at some time or another, you have lived in the “Sh*t Show work environment. 

If not, were you doing your job or just skating through?

Or truly blessed with a great work environment and wonderful people who worked well together? 

Are you brand new in the manager position or a veteran?

Now, what about the Sh*t Show Managers and Supervisors that love the chaos and are the direct cause of it? They thrive in this environment and love seeing their team under constant pressure, making mistakes, and failing so they can save the day. So how did they get into the position in the first place? Were they good at the technical aspect of the job and got promoted due to that but lacked the people skills? 

The life of a Manager and Supervisor can be lonely at times, working late and may even struggle with an unbalanced home life due to the work stress and the pressures of demands placed on them, which trickle into every aspect of their life.

So, here’s some self-reflection to consider:

Are you a Sh*t Show Manager or Supervisor?

Or a good leader?

What do your employees tell their family, friends, and coworkers about you?

I would love your thoughts on this topic.

Today’s podcast Affirmation:

I let go of my old ways and embrace new ones!

Episode 71 – Does Changing Your Mindset After Fifty Build Better Relationships with Special Guest Rebecca Ronane

Welcome to Building Better Relationships at Home and Work with Angela and Patti.


We have a special guest on this podcast episode, Rebecca Ronane, Life Coach, Podcaster, and Author.

Rebecca Ronane moved from London to a small village in Provence, France, in 1995. She lives with her partner Alain and their dog Myrtle. She worked in the travel industry for thirty years; however, a breast cancer diagnosis quickly followed by a job loss in 2012 allowed her to change direction, although she didn’t feel it then.

A coaching course in 2014 opened the door to a different chapter in her life journey. Since training as a coach, she has set up her businesses, Forward After Fifty and Network Provence. As a result, she has two websites, two podcast shows, and not one but several businesses to her name. She has experienced that moving forward after fifty has the potential to be the most exciting part of your life.

A suggestion in 2021 that Rebecca writes a book was a little like looking down on someone else’s life and ambitions, as it had never been on her agenda. The book was published in January of 2023 and is called Forward After 50: The Rising Reinventors. The book gives insights into how we might limit ourselves in thinking and talking about aging. It’s about changing your mindset around aging today – start associating aging with generating instead of degenerating.

Rebecca discusses:

1. Why she became so passionate about living a great life Forward After Fifty?

2. How can women celebrate and embrace turning fifty?

3. Why do you think women fear aging?

4. How is your mindset the secret weapon towards aging?

5. About her book “Forward After 50: The Rising Reinventors“?

6. And so much more.

Thank you so much for listening; please follow and share the podcast with others, and check out Rebecca Ronane’s:

 Exploring Why Do We Avoid Doing What We Truly Want in Life and Work From Chaos to Calm

Click to listen to Episode 18 – Exploring Why Do We Avoid Doing What We Truly Want In Life and Work

Hi, Managers and Supervisors 

How’s it going?

As Managers and Supervisors, we set the tone of the workplace environment. Our actions, thoughts, goals, and interactions towards ourselves and others contribute to our staff, customers, and if we want to come to work. It spills everywhere if we are unhappy at home or work. 

I know in the past, I felt unappreciated and showed signs of a lack of respect at work. I didn’t want to be at work, and the energy around the office changed from exciting to unbearable. We all have moments like that and push through them.

Why do we avoid doing what we truly want in life and work?

Is it because we are afraid of what others think?

What if we all lived as we wanted and did the work we truly love?

What would the world look like if this was the case?

Would we be happy, peaceful, thoughtful, meaningful, and kind?

What if we held our tongues and didn’t say all the negative things in our heads and to others?

How would that change our relationships at work and home? 

What would the work environment look like, and would that change the work environment and how?

Why do negative thoughts and reactions creep in first instead of happy, positive, loving actions?

What triggers us to think negatively and say rude, unkind words to the people around us? Or consider the worse in others at work instead of the good?

Why do co-workers, the boss, and staff treat each other unkind instead of encouraging each other? What would the work environment look like if kindness came into the workplace? Would people want to go to work and feel safe?

What are happiness at work and home?

Is that what we strive for in life, to be happy, but instead, we have chaos, drama, and people mad at us or around us?

What happened to peace, calm, and love?

What is holding us back from the life we want?

Figuring out what is holding you back from enjoying your life is vital. Being brave and confronting it will end your daily life of constant worry, anxiety, and unhappiness.

What do we need to remove or change to create harmony?

Make a list of the things you want to remove from your life.

Here are some examples:

  • A toxic friend
  • A hostile workplace
  • A verbally abusive partner
  • A controlling family member
  • A destructive behavior
  • A controlling boss
  • Discontent employees
  • Low self-esteem

The big question is, “What do you want in Life and Work?” 

Make a list of things you want to create harmony and balance in your life.

Here are some examples:

  • Positive Encouraging Friends
  • A Motivating Career
  • A Peaceful Home
  • A Happy Loving Family
  • Good Health
  • Some Fun and Adventure
  • A Healthy Lifestyle
  • Confidence and Self Worth
  • Hire A Leadership and Life Coach to help you transition to where you want to be
  • Get a Reiki Session

What action steps will you take to change your life for the better?

Once you start the action steps, you will feel the shift from being trapped and avoiding to a sense of peace and freedom.

Today’s podcast Affirmation

I know where I want to be and take action to get there.

Exploring How To Keep Your Team Engaged as a Manager and Supervisor From Chaos to Calm

Click to listen to Episode 15 – Exploring How To Keep Your Team Engaged as a Manager and Supervisor

Today I will explore how to keep your team focused and engaged as a Manager and Supervisor. 

Employees make decisions and actions daily that can affect workplace morale, customers, the organization, and profits.

How are you and your team engaging in work?

Is there good engagement between you and your employees?

Do you enjoy the workplace atmosphere? Do they?

What is the key to keeping employees focused and engaged in their work?

  • Start with talking to your employees, getting to know them, and showing interest in them. Ask them how they are doing. Let them speak and listen to them. Provide some open dialogue throughout the conversation. Look at them while they are talking. Be present instead of thinking about other things.
  • Spend time learning about your employees. What are their backgrounds, interests, and values?
  • Provide on-the-job training to help them to succeed. Find their learning style, such as visual, hearing, reading a manual or procedures, hands-on learning, etc.
  • Give employees opportunities to grow in personal development. Employees who develop their work skills and a creative mindset will more likely stay and promote within the company.
  • Give employees special projects and assignments outside their regular duties when they have asked for something else. Employees who are satisfied and learning new things are much more engaged and focused at work.
  • Coach employees with encouragement and act on their suggestions if possible.
  • Encourage employees to network within the company.
  • Have employees participate in the hiring process and have the whole team meet potential candidates. Is this candidate someone who will work well with the team? Get their feedback and perspective. They have to work with this person just as much as you do.
  • Provide some recognition to the hard-working employees and the ones who complete their projects within the target timeframes. And show your appreciation for their accomplishments. Say “thank you” and give them praise for their excellent work.
  • Encourage employees to take breaks to help them get refocused and inspired. Stepping away for a few minutes rejuvenates people.
  • Set clear expectations and make sure your employees understand what expectations. Be clear and direct about workplace goals and objectives. Put the expectation in writing and follow up with the employee on their progress. They may struggle and need guidance to find another way to complete the task. Break down tasks into small achievable steps. This way, they will feel safe and start working on things.

Employees stay with leaders who show interest in them. They are more engaged and focused when they feel appreciated, making a difference and giving credit for their contributions. When a manager and supervisor reflect gratitude towards their employees, everyone will want to come to work each day and give their all!

Today’s podcast Affirmation

I am engaged and focused in my work and team!
