Episode notes

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.

Kelly is a former Fortune 500 Executive turned multi-million dollar entrepreneur/CEO, and founder of Kelly Roach Coaching, an 8-figure coaching and consulting company for entrepreneurs who are disrupting industries and scaling their dreams. For the past decade, she’s disrupted the coaching space, built a top-ranked podcast, appeared as an expert for outlets like ABC and NBC, and helped hundreds of entrepreneurs create their dream lives. She’s published multiple bestselling books, including Bigger Than You - The Entrepreneur’s Guide to building An Unstoppable Team.
