From Manager to Leader — The Transformation of Christie Linebarger
Humility. Grit. Elevation. The story of Christie Linebarger.

When I sat down with Christie Linebarger, a 25-year TA and HR leader and newly published author, I expected a great conversation — but I didn’t expect such a powerful breakdown of what leadership really looks like.

Christie shares her journey from managing tasks to elevating people, the pivotal moments that reshaped her leadership philosophy, and how a layoff unexpectedly became the catalyst for writing her book and rediscovering her purpose.

Key takeaways:
• The real difference between managing and leading
• Why humility and authenticity build unstoppable teams
• How to develop leaders instead of followers
• “Stick your beak in the ground” — building grit through the tough seasons

This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to grow as a leader, empower their team, or navigate their own transition with courage and grace.
