The Leadership Pause: How to Stop Being the Bottleneck in Your Studio and Take Back Your Time
Update: 2025-08-12
Description
You can’t scale your studio if every decision requires your sign-off. In this episode Jackie explains the simple, powerful habit she calls The Leadership Pause: a Micro-Habit that changes how your team shows up, makes decisions, and owns results.
If you’re tired of being the default problem-solver, this episode gives three practical shifts (ask first, replace approval with ownership, default to execute) and real scripts you can use the moment a teacher, VA, or manager asks for direction.
What you’ll hear:
- Why leaders accidentally become bottlenecks (and how that slows growth)
- The three micro-strategies that create ownership and speed on your team
- Real examples from Colleague, Clients, and Jackie’s own team
- Exact scripts you can use with your team today
- A safe, step-by-step way to build a more independent team without making anyone feel abandoned
