Summary

You got the job. Now comes the part no one fully prepares you for: figuring out how to succeed in it.


Welcome to (Self) Starting a New Job, the podcast that helps you take the driver's seat in your own onboarding and create a more confident, connected, and fulfilling start in your new role.


Your company's new hire training is important, but it can't teach you everything you need to know about navigating workplace relationships, understanding company culture, managing self-doubt, building confidence, and figuring out how to make your mark.


Drawing on nearly 25 years of HR experience, I'll share practical insights, actionable strategies, and a fresh perspective on the mental, professional, and relationship sides of starting a new job. You'll learn how to shift unhelpful thinking, communicate effectively with your manager, build meaningful workplace relationships, clarify expectations, and take intentional steps toward becoming a valued contributor.


Through the Self-Onboarding for Success approach, you'll discover how to move beyond simply getting through your first few months to creating a strong foundation for long-term success, growth, and joy at work.

This isn't about replacing your employer's onboarding program or pretending every workplace is perfect. It's about recognizing what you can control, advocating for what you need, and taking ownership of the experience you're creating for yourself.


Whether you're navigating your first job, changing careers, or starting a new role after years of experience, you'll find practical guidance and resources to help you make the transition with greater clarity, confidence, and purpose.


Your employer hired you. Now it's time to onboard yourself for success.

    Self-Starting New Job- Episode 4: What has been the hardest thing to learn at your new job and why??
    9 Nov 2026

    Episode 4 Description:

    In this episode, we explore a real-life situation that a new hire has faced during their first few months on the job. Together we break down the situation and look at what to be aware of, how to approach the situation, and what the new hire can do to emphasize the positive or how they can create a better outcome for themselves by making small changes at work.

    This week, a new hire responds to the question: “What has been the hardest thing to learn at your new job and why?” and we work through some self-doubt they have on their technical capabilities.

    Do you have a new hire situation you’d like us to discuss on my podcast, please DM me or write to me at hello@selfonboardingforsuccess.com.

    In our episodes, we explore real-life situations that new hires face during the first few months on the job. I’ll break down each situation from three perspectives: the mental side, the professional side, and the relationship-building side. Together, we’ll look at what to be aware of, how to approach the situation, and what you can do to emphasize the positive or how you can create a better outcome for yourself by making small changes from one, two or all three perspectives.
