One small change can be worth more than it first appears. In yesterday's Leadership Lab, we learned how to save at least an hour a week through a very simple exercise. At an hourly rate of $250 (which is at least what your time is worth), saving one hour a week adds up to $13,000+ over a year! 🤯 Repeat the process for added value. The lesson, Identify Where to Reduce Your Involvement in Client Delivery, will help you pinpoint one recurring area that still requires your time, judgement, approval, knowledge, or attention, then choose a practical next step that helps the team take greater ownership of that work. You’ll use the guided exercise to: - Identify one specific situation - Clarify what the team needs from you - Decide what could be made clearer - Choose one practical change that will reduce your involvement The exercise takes less than 30 minutes. You don't get that kind of ROI by continuing to answer client texts at night or scrambling to clear your inbox every morning. Share with us: What change will you make, and how much time will it save you? What's your dollar value for that time? Comment below.

For Tuesday's call, we'll identify one recurring aspect of client delivery that still requires your involvement. You’ll examine why the team still needs your input and choose one practical change to help them handle more of the work more clearly and confidently. If you're struggling with how to remove yourself from the day-to-day of client delivery, this one's for you!

What would you like to learn about in our next Leadership Systems Lab? I am thinking a delegation focus would be great since I haven't taken a deep dive into that topic yet. Is there anything specific you'd like me to cover about delegation? Or, is there a different leadership topic you've got burning questions about? The focus can be on you as a leader, teambuilding, or business systems. Comment below if you have an idea of what would be most valuable to you. 🙌🏻

New Lab is live in the classroom: People, Systems, or AI? A Practical Delegation Lab 🎉 I’m pretty excited about this one because I think it gives us a really useful way to think about delegation without getting stuck in the old question of, “Who can I hand this to?” In this Lab, we’re using the Work Support Sorter to look at one area of work in your business and ask: What kind of support does this actually need? Maybe it still needs your judgment. Maybe a person could handle part of it. Maybe the system needs to do more. Maybe AI can prepare a first version. Maybe some of it can be stopped or simplified because, full disclosure, sometimes we keep doing things because we’ve always done them that way. You’ll choose one area only, such as content, inbox, scheduling, client onboarding, follow-up, reporting, proposals, meeting prep, admin, or contractor coordination. Please don’t worry about choosing the perfect thing. The point is to learn the tool and use it on something real. In the exercise, you’ll name what you’re currently doing, deciding, reviewing, and remembering or tracking. Then you’ll sort those pieces across five options: you, people, systems, AI, or stop/simplify. By the end, you’ll have one practical change you can start this week. The video, worksheet, and artifact are all linked in the classroom lesson. 🪞 After you go through the Lab, use this thread to share your reflection: What is one thing you’re ready to stop treating as automatically yours, and would it be better supported by a person, a system, AI, or a combination? Can't wait to see what you choose! PS, I do plan on making more delegation videos and labs. It's a huge subject that deserves a lot of attention. So if you made a request about delegation training, I haven't forgotten about you!

Hello everyone, I am so excited to present the Leadership Confidence & Presence Workshop tomorrow (April 14) at 11:30 a.m. MST! I've added a new page in the classroom for this workshop, where you can download the scorecard and the new workbook I just put together for you. This is also where the video replay will be placed when ready. Click here for the resource page. If you can't make it live, no worries; you can watch the replay at a time convenient to you. But I am curious: Who's planning to attend and who's in for the replay? Let me know in the comments! 😊
