Title: The Art of Effective Delegation: How to Trust Others and Hold Them Accountable
Have you gone through multiple people trying to get them to fill a role or complete a project and not been happy with the outcome? Do you struggle with letting other people take over a project or task because you think it would be easier to just do it yourself? Do you have trouble letting go of a project or task because you don’t think someone else can do it as well as you can?
Small business owners and solopreneurs need to know how to delegate and have their intentions successfully fulfilled by others.
By attending this workshop, you will learn:
- Delegation 101: Effective delegation is not just about the “how” (the practical steps) but about who you need to become as a delegator—building trust, communication, and the courage to empower others.
- Become empowered and enabled to give critical feedback to those working for you (to keep projects going in the right direction), and the ability to successfully delegate projects and tasks that you would love to get off your full plate.
- Gain a new mindset around delegation which will result in a higher return on your investment of time and better outcomes for you and your businesses.
