If you feel overworked BUT working with other people in your business also feels stressful — clients, freelancers, VAs, etc. — this episode will explain why.

This conversation is about leadership skills for entrepreneurs, especially the leadership no one teaches you when you start a business:

• how you communicate under stress
• how you handle conflict
• how your own patterns (and baggage) shape your business
  
  

It’s about this messy truth most entrepreneurs hide from:

If managing people drains your energy, costs you time, or keeps creating the same issues with different people… it’s not a “them” problem.

It’s a leadership one…

In this podcast interview, I’m joined by Jody Urquhart, a former stand-up comedian turned leadership and communication expert with over 25 years of experience. She brings lots of humor and honesty to how to be a leader — especially as a small business owner.

This episode is for small business owners and entrepreneurs who:

• Want to know how to manage others better
• Work with clients, VAs, freelancers, or contractors
• Feel drained by emails, hiring or where to even begin

Jody talks about why many entrepreneurs repeat the same team and client issues even as their business grows.

By the end of this episode, you’ll understand how to be a leader that people love working with (so you can grow faster and NOT burn out.)

Inside this conversation:

• Leadership skills every entrepreneur needs to grow
• How to manage a team (or freelancers) with less conflict
• How to be a leader who understands people instead of trying to control them
