You Built the Team. But You're Still the Glue
You’ve hired. You've trained. You've handed things off.
But now it's October and you're still:
➔ Chasing follow-through on tasks you already handed off
➔ Still stepping in to manage problems you thought your leadership team could handle by now
➔ Carrying the pressure of everyone's problems, moods, and mistakes
The systems helped... but they didn't stick.
The team said they understood...but you're still the one holding it all together.
This workshop will show you the missing piece between delegation and true ownership, and how to close that gap before the chaos of the holiday season pulls your deeper into the weeds.
The 3 Leadership Reflexes keeping your team dependent (even when they're "fully trained")
Why delegation without rhythm breaks down in the messy middle of the year
How to shift from daily management to strategic ownership using the Four Levels of Work
What it really costs to be your team's default problem solver, and how to stop

"Before, I felt I had to be there every single day, or things would fall apart. Now, my staff problem-solve and take ownership. The fewer issues I hear about, the more I know our systems are working."
-Aliya Roberts
"I went from working 45 hours a week to just 10 hours a week, while maintaining strong systems and leadership. That shift alone has saved me so much time and money."
-Ashley Corthell
"I used to take back tasks I had delegated because I didn’t fully trust my team. It took time and effort, but I finally learned that different doesn’t mean wrong, sometimes, my team does things better than I ever could."
-Kathy Cameron
"I used to be drained, overwhelmed, and burnt out. Now, I wake up with purpose and joy, knowing I have the tools, support, and mindset to lead my center with confidence."
-Erin Owens
"Before, my directors and teachers always checked with me before making decisions. Now, I trust them to make calls, and they feel empowered in their roles. The culture has completely shifted from ‘checking in’ to taking ownership."
