Every new manager walks toward the same hole. No real training. No loop. No one watching the deal

I fell in the pitfall first, then I built a bridge over it so you don't have to. Every new manager walks towards this same hole. No real training, no loop, no one watching the deal with you. Nobody warns you it's there. I didn't see it either. My first 6 months, nobody trained me. They handed me contracts, drew giraffe on a whiteboard, and threw me in on a Saturday. I walked straight into the hole and almost got fired because of it. I spent years climbing out the hard way, paying tuition in lost deals and lost gross. And here's what I had decided coming out: nobody behind me should have to fall in that same hole ever again, or feel the way I did, alone and siloed without any support. So I built the bridge. Everything I learned clawing out, I turned it into a loop somebody else can walk across in months instead of years. And that's what coaching is— being the bridge over the exact pitfall I fell into. Save this so you can figure out what that is so you never fall in the pitfalls that happen for the next person behind you.
