    409: Success Doesn't Protect You From People Problems

    Even with thriving revenue, reputation, and a waitlist, leadership challenges can still keep you up at night. Success actually amplifies people problems, from tricky pay requests to toxic team dynamics.  Today, we're exploring why established businesses must evolve their leadership because clear structures, performance standards, and confident communication are key.  When you raise your standards, your best people step up, your culture stabilizes, and your confidence grows.   Work with Shelli Warren: Book a call with Shelli to talk about how coaching can help you elevate your leadership capability.

    408: That Text Should Have Been a 1:1

    Those "quick thoughts," sent by text, Slack, or email, may feel efficient, but they're creating more drama than you realize. Today, we'll dive into the hidden costs of digital drive-bys: miscommunication, defensiveness, performance confusion, and lost momentum and how digital communication can quietly chip away at trust, clarity, and your workplace culture. It's time to rethink your approach. Ask yourself if this situation deserves a real conversation instead of a quick message. True leadership is all about presence and meaningful connections, not just dispatching information.  Work with Shelli Warren: Book a call with Shelli to talk about how coaching can help you elevate your leadership capability.

    406: Before You Open a 2nd Location, Do This

    Have you ever wondered whether opening a second location is truly the next right step for you?  In this episode, I dive deep into the reality of expansion. I share the three non-negotiables you MUST have before you even think about signing another lease: proof, predictability, and people. You'll hear real stories from my clients about what worked, what crashed, and the hard lessons learned along the way. If you've ever felt pressured by others to "just open another location," or you're simply bursting at the seams and considering expansion, this episode will help you slow down, ask the right questions, and build the leadership systems and team structure that actually set you up for sustainable growth.

    The Realities of Leading a Private Practice and an Online Business with Jessie Ginsburg

    Join us for a "where are they now" catch up conversation with former Leadership Lab client Jessie Ginsburg of Pediatric Therapy Playhouse and Sensory SLP.  You'll appreciate how open she is to talk about the cost of losing team members as they join another practice or open their own, including the emotional toll this took on her. She's evolved her leadership to a better place now where she accepts the turnover while also tightening up her hiring, onboarding and productivity processes to ensure her practice is profitable, regardless of any team structure ups and downs.  With two businesses and five boys all under the age of nine, you might be wondering "how does she do it all?" Jessie gives us a look inside her home support plan, her leadership team structure in both businesses, her future plans and confirms. She's designing a life that best fits what she wants, not what society or her industry is telling her she should want.
