Description

In episode 101, we’re talking about how to lead through growth without getting lost in the day-to-day.


When your business or team is expanding, it’s easy to fall into old patterns, doing everything yourself, staying deep in the weeds, and reacting instead of leading. But what worked when you were building from day one won’t sustain your next chapter of growth.


I share client stories and coaching insights on what it means to evolve as a leader: learning to delegate, building trust in your team, and creating systems that support strategy instead of chaos. You’ll learn how to shift from “doer” to decision-maker and create space for the vision your business needs you to hold.


In this episode, I cover:

  • Why staying stuck in early-stage habits limits your growth

  • How to delegate effectively without losing control

  • The importance of communication cadences and clear priorities for your team

  • What it looks like to lead from strategy instead of reaction

  • Why growth requires a new version of you and how to step into it


Key Takeaways:

  • Growth requires evolving how you lead, not just what you do

  • Delegation builds trust, scalability, and space for vision

  • Creating structure helps you focus on strategy, not firefighting

  • Leadership is about direction, not doing

  • You can’t evolve your business without evolving yourself
