As a conflict-avoidant people-pleaser, I have a story in my head that I don’t like the stress and pressure of being a manager. Delegating is hard, and giving feedback is uncomfortable. But that mindset has held me back from hiring, scaling, and taking my dreams to the next level.
I know I’m not alone in this. A lot of us end up being managers over the course of our careers, but we’re never taught how to be LEADERS — and there’s a big difference. So I called in business mentor, entrepreneur and best-selling author Kelly Roach to help me navigate my limiting beliefs around hiring, leading better, and investing in a high performing team.
