Season 2 Episode 25: Delegate: Like a Master
There is so much FREEDOM that comes with delegation.

Most of us can’t take a hint that it is time to PULL BACK from the work that is draining our ability to engage and relate with our team and customers.
We wait until breaking points before we start to take our physical and mental health seriously.
Why is that? Why are we so afraid to do less and chase slow when our body is demanding rest and recovery from burnout?
Season 2 Episode 18: Handling Perfectionism
I love working with perfectionists because they will do what it takes to get the job done well. But perfectionism in yourself or your team is a blessing and a curse.
There is such a thing as wanting something done too perfectly, to the detriment of actually getting shit done.
We’re talking about how to handle perfectionism in yourself and your team today.
Season 2 Episode 17: The Real Reasons You’re Not Delegating Work
There’s an interesting phenomenon that happens after I match an Executive Assistant with a CEO.

If this sounds like you, you’re not alone.
