Natasha Edwards

Hi, I’m Natasha, and I know firsthand how challenging it can be to lead people. Like many of you, I started as a subject matter expert - in my case, as a recruiter helping software engineers find their next great role. I quickly noticed a pattern: people often left jobs not because of the work itself, but because of the people around them. Some had managers that they didn’t respect or were witnessing their teams fall apart; but others were people who had been promoted to leadership roles without the tools or training they needed, and their passion for their work was replaced with dread and stress.

As my own career progressed, I found myself leading and managing recruiters—and if there was a rookie mistake to be made, I made it. Too friendly, too distant, too much “reach for the stars,” too much “tough love.” With little guidance from my own managers (who were just as inexperienced as I was), it felt like the blind leading the blind. It was exhausting, frustrating, and at times down right demoralizing.

At one point, I swore I’d never manage people again. But then I realized that if I wanted my career to move forward, I had to figure out how to lead effectively—without burning out, compromising who I was, or making life harder than it needed to be.
