​If being in the loop, on every call, or in every decision is what’s holding it all together—this roundtable is for you.

Somewhere along the way, “being a strong leader” turned into being involved in everything. Updates, approvals, feedback loops, quick decisions, endless meetings.

It’s not just exhausting—it’s limiting.
And honestly? That’s not scalable leadership.

Join us for a live, 45-minute 𝗖𝗘𝗢 𝗥𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 where we’ll talk about what it really means to lead with 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹—and how to build a business that runs stronger, even when you're not in the room.

✅ Step back without losing visibility
✅ Empower the team without micromanaging
