    EP29: From Solopreneur to Entrepreneur: When Your Business Needs a Different Way of Operating with Lesle lane

    🎙️ Inside the Conversation. Many business owners begin as solopreneurs - serving clients, making decisions, delivering the work, and managing the business themselves. And sometimes, that operating model is exactly what they need. For Lesle Lane, remaining a solopreneur gave her the flexibility to raise her children, stay present for their lives, and build a business around the priorities that mattered most to her at that stage. But as her life and business changed, the way she operated eventually needed to change too.  In this episode of Manage Your Projects with Confidence, Cerila Gailliard, PMP, CSM talks with Lesle about the transition from solopreneur to entrepreneur - not as a required next step, but as a decision that should reflect what the business and the person need now. _________  ✨ Guest Resources. 🌐 Website → www.studio13online.com ✉️ Email → lesle@studio13online.com _________  👤 Guest.

    EP28: What Leaders Protect Before They Direct with David Deighton

    🎙️ Inside the Conversation. Many leaders believe communication problems begin when people stop paying attention. But what if the breakdown starts much earlier when leaders move into directing before fully understanding what they are hearing? If you are leading a growing business, this conversation will challenge you to think differently about how communication shapes leadership, alignment, and execution. _________  ✨ Dig Deeper with This Resource. → Triptych Dialogue  - Website  ✨ Guest Resources.  ✉️ Email → david@TriptychDialogue.com _________  👤 Guest. David Deighton David is an artist, educator, father, world traveler and entrepreneur working on transformational experiences using abstract art.  My background as an art dealer and creator of a successful art business allowed me to invest back into community and country. I use art to do this. I am about engaging strangers in the spirit on connection and I do this in innovative ways. I'm focused on the taboo subject of politics but that word can be exchanged for a multitude of taboo subjects. I do NOT talk politics rather it's about tools to heal community, bridge  divides, transform and explore artistic expression. For the last 6 years I have been actively engaging with strangers in public spaces, asking them to talk to their political opponents, listen to them and find commonalities. So far all has gone well without confrontation.  Follow David on social media →  YouTube  🎧 Host.

    EP25: Effort vs Structure: What’s Carrying Your Business? with Scott Abbott

    🎙️ Inside the Conversation. Growth exposes what is actually holding your business together. If effort is carrying the business instead of structure, it will not sustain as pressure increases. Many founders believe they’ve built something strong until growth tests it.

    EP24: Why You’re Doing Everything in Your Business (And What It’s Costing You) with Carly Pepin

    🎙️ Inside the Conversation. Most leaders don’t want to do everything in their business.  But they do. This isn’t a leadership issue.  It’s a structure issue.  When decision rights, ownership, and execution aren’t clearly defined, work flows back to the leader. So leaders step in because it feels faster, safer, and more reliable.  But over time, that creates a cost. Execution slows.  Decisions bottleneck. And growth becomes dependent on the leader. Today’s conversation is about that pattern and what needs to change for structure to carry the work instead. Structure carries the load. Leaders carry direction.™ _________ ✨ Dig Deeper with This Resource. → Business Performance Health Check  ✨ Guest Resources. 🌐 Website → https://www.westcoastgrowthadvisors.com ✉️ Email → carly@westcoast-ga.com _________ 👤 Guest.
