Tired of being responsible for everything?

A client of mine confessed to me in the past that he wasn't really a "coaching guy."

He was skeptical of outside agendas—and honestly, that’s fair. But he took the leap with me anyway.

Recently I was sitting in a 1-to-1 with him. He's a CEO of a large organization with a lot of moving parts...including leading over a hundred team members.

I’d had the privilege of sitting on their leadership team, doing 1-to-1 coaching, and hosting corporate events for them. High-level work with high stakes. 

So we were looking at the data from Q1, and we'd hit the 25% mark for their miraculous goal for the year. (Huge!)

I asked him how he felt about their progress, and he said something I think every leader needs to hear...especially if you’ve ever felt like you’re carrying the entire weight of the business on your shoulders.

(⬇️ Btw, watch instead of reading, or read on below.)

He looked at me and said the organization is "further ahead than we’ve ever been at the end of quarter one." 

I started to congratulate him. I said, “That’s incredible. You guys are doing the heavy lifting..."

And then he said it: "Dawn, I can feel the weight being lifted from the other pieces of the puzzle."

He called our work together one of the best investments he’s ever made...because he’s finally seeing his people turn into amazing leaders.

➡️ Weight was lifted from him having a partner (me) to help shoulder the burden

➡️ Even more weight was lifted through his people becoming amazing leaders

Leaders are a very distinct species of employee. They exude (and drive) initiative. Vision. Motivation. Accountability. Decision-making.

And that means you're no longer rolling a boulder uphill by yourself.

When an organization of that size hits their miraculous goal—not just their baseline, but their miraculous goal—during a difficult season (like so many of us these days), it’s not an accident.

It's what happens when you decide to invest in the leadership capacity of your team.

If you’re leading a large team, a small team, or maybe you're just trying to lead yourself!...

... and you're tired of being the only one responsible for the thinking, and the deciding, and the results...

I’d love to help you find that same relief.
