It's hard to let go and delegate tasks, even if you know it's the right thing to do for your business. You're probably feeling a lot of pressure to do everything yourself. You might be worried that delegation doesn’t feel natural and that you’re not good at it as a Leader. Just because delegation doesn’t come naturally to you…does not mean you cannot better. In today’s episode, we discuss: Why it’s OK that delegation doesn’t come “naturally” to you We become what we repeatedly do — this is why you have to talk yourself into delegating Three ways to strengthen your rusty delegation muscles The key to setting clear expectations The importance of “watching game film” and providing critical feedback Here are other resources I mention: How To Delegate More Effectively In Your Business FREE GUIDE: 50 Things to Outsource to an Executive Assistant Watching Video Is Great Mental Training…

My Thoughts On Quiet Quitting 23:07

3 years ago23:07

23:07

If you’ve read the news lately, you have likely heard about quiet quitting. Unlike what the name suggests, quiet quitting isn’t about terminating your employment. It means to fly under the radar and do exactly what’s required of you as an employee — no more, no less. In a word, it’s coasting. This phenomenon is an organized response to burnout culture. It’s a way to “opt-out” of the hustling lifestyle. As you can imagine…I have thoughts. In today’s episode, we discuss: What is quiet quitting and how it caught on as a “movement” Research from Harvard Business Review on what improves employee performance (and what contributes to quiet quitting) How quiet quitting is a call to action for employees and Leaders — and what to do next!

When you have a team… mistakes are a part of the game. No matter how catchy that sounds, or how easily I say that to you… it doesn’t change how mistakes make you feel. If you’re like me, you hate the CONSEQUENCES of mistakes. You know they will happen — because your team is human!

In today’s episode, we discuss: Why CEOs would rather keep work on their plate than risk their team making mistakes The importance of teaching your team to try – even if it results in “failure” The foundation of trust, which includes responsibility, accountability and ownership When to develop and when to discipline your team The importance of pausing before you react to bad news Here are other resources I mention: TED Talk - “The Power of Vulnerability ,” Brené Brown FREE: 50 Things To Outsource to an EA Stay connected to Diary of a Doer: Have you subscribed to my podcast?

I think vulnerability brings people together in beautiful ways, but when you lead a team, it’s scary to show that side of yourself. You may wonder if your team will still respect your authority and see you as a confident, decisive person. In today’s episode, we discuss: Why historically being “the strong one” prevents your vulnerability in leadership How vulnerability with others shines a light on your own insecurities – and why it might be hard to face those How to handle the fear of people’s perceptions of you How to be vulnerable — with boundaries Here are other resources I mention: TED Talk - “The Power of Vulnerability ,” Brené Brown FREE: 50 Things To Outsource to an EA Stay connected to Diary of a Doer: Have you subscribed to my podcast?

In today’s episode, I want to debunk the myth that you have to be worthy of an Executive Assistant. I hear this excuse all the time from leaders of all levels — they think they are UNWORTHY — and it makes me nuts! We should NOT be making business decisions based on our perceived “worthiness.” In today’s episode, we discuss: Why so many Leaders think they are “unworthy” of an Executive Assistant The impact of emotion, social bias, and social influence on our purchasing decisions The truth about why an EA is NOT a selfish hire — despite what your fears tell you How hiring an EA creates the capacity for you to thrive in your role as a Leader Here are other resources I mention: 90% of purchasing decisions are made subconsciously Study: You are the average of the 5 people you surround yourself with (and more) Stay connected to Diary of a Doer: Have you subscribed to my podcast?

Everyone has been affected by grief at some point in life. You may have experienced a devastating loss of a friend or family member or felt America’s collective grief during the pandemic, a contentious election, and news of war. In grief, we are saddled between two worlds. One in which we feel devastating loss. In the other, we show up for work, go on vacation, watch funny movies and give ourselves permission to feel joy and laughter. Here to help us navigate these two worlds is my friend Dr. Sherry Walling. Sherry is a clinical psychologist, speaker, podcaster, author, and mental health advocate. Her company, ZenFounder, helps entrepreneurs and leaders navigate transition, rapid growth, loss and conflict. In today’s episode, we discuss: Sherry’s second book, Touching Two Worlds , explores new strategies for finding wholeness in the aftermath of loss. Why leaders may have a hard time addressing mental health topics with their teams How Sherry personally experienced grief and loss (and its effect on her career) Why the Great Resignation was a wake-up call for employers Comparative suffering, compartmentalization, and what it means for us to “touch two worlds” Here are other resources I mention: Order Touching Two Worlds today!
