In this episode, Alex Gonzalez breaks down the difference between managing and leading, and shows you how to audit your time over the past week to see where your energy is really going. Learn how to identify tasks you can delegate, automate, or eliminate, and discover ways to bring your team into your leadership development to build trust, clarity, and a sustainable leadership practice.

Leadership Rehearsal helps leaders build a sustainable practice to prioritize their time, lead authentically, and balance the needs of their people and business.

Welcome to Leadership Rehearsal, a podcast where leadership is a practice, not just a title. In this trailer, I introduce Season One, focused on what we call manager hygiene—revisiting the leadership basics we were never taught and untangling habits we developed on our own.

You’ll get a taste of what to expect each week:

• Solo rehearsal: guided reflections to sharpen your leadership

• Team rehearsal: practical exercises or questions to bring directly to your team

Season One explores topics like feedback, authenticity, psychological safety, setting expectations, and managing performance—all with the goal of helping you lead with clarity, balance, and intention.

I’m Alex Gonzalez, leadership facilitator, former corporate leader, and Founding Artistic Director of Latiné Theater Lab.

Most leadership journeys start the same: you’re promoted to your first management role with little to no training provided! Suddenly, you’re expected to lead, but no one showed you "how."

Welcome to Leadership Rehearsal. Join Alex—former corporate leader turned Artistic Director—to build a practice that lets you prioritize your time and be the leader you actually want to be. Through practical tools and data-backed exercises, we bridge the gap between business targets and human needs. Because management is a title, while leadership is a practice.

See you in rehearsal!
