  Stop Being the Bottleneck: How to Lead a Team That Thinks for Itself 20.08.2026 21分

  If you’re wondering how to lead a team without becoming the person every decision, question, and problem runs through, the answer may not be better delegation. Your team may be capable, experienced, and smart—and still rely on you because your leadership has unintentionally taught them to. Every quick answer can reinforce the habit of coming back for the next one. Strong leadership skills aren’t about always having the answer. They’re about developing your team’s ability to find one.

  Holding Employees Accountable Without Micromanaging Your Team 13.08.2026 19分

  What if the reason you’re constantly following up isn’t that your team lacks accountability—but that they lack clarity? Holding Employees Accountable starts long before a missed deadline or performance conversation. Lindsay White reframes accountability as a leadership responsibility: when expectations, priorities, ownership, and communication are clear, people are more likely to make strong decisions without being micromanaged. Through a client example, Lindsay shows how growth can actually ...

  Why Every Growing Business Needs a People Strategy 06.08.2026 21分

  A people strategy isn’t something to think about after your business grows. It’s how you make sure growth doesn’t leave you carrying more decisions, more pressure, and a team structure that no longer fits where you’re going. Scaling business takes more than hiring when everyone is overloaded. Look 6, 12, and 24 months ahead and ask what roles, capabilities, behaviours, and leadership your future business will require. Your business growth strategy sets the direction; your people strategy hel...

  What Business Leadership for Women Really Looks Like in Practice 30.07.2026 22分

  Growing your business isn't the same as building one that can keep growing without you. Business Leadership for Women isn't about becoming a better boss—it's about creating the leadership, people strategy, and culture that allow your business to thrive without everything depending on you. When those foundations are missing, growth often leads to overwhelm instead of freedom. In this conversation, Lindsay introduces the LPC Method—Leadership, People Strategy, and Culture—and explains why these...

  Stepping Into Leadership: How One Leader Built Real Confidence 23.07.2026 21分

  Stepping Into Leadership isn't about waiting until you feel confident—it's about choosing courage before confidence arrives. If you've been holding back because you don't feel ready, this conversation will challenge the belief that's keeping you stuck. Many business owners assume strong leaders have all the answers, but the reality is very different. Stepping Into Leadership means embracing uncomfortable conversations, making difficult decisions, and trusting yourself before certainty exists....

  3 Costly Mistakes Founders Make When Hiring and Firing Employees 16.07.2026 18分

  Hiring and Firing Employees isn't simply about filling vacancies or managing performance—it's one of the biggest leadership responsibilities you'll ever have as a founder. Yet many business owners wait too long to hire, recruit from overwhelm instead of strategy, or avoid difficult conversations because personal loyalty gets in the way. The result? Expensive mistakes that impact growth, culture, and your ability to scale. If you've ever found yourself thinking, "I'll just keep doing it myself...

  The Business Growth Strategy You NEED (Simplify This to Grow Faster) 09.07.2026 19分

  What if the biggest thing holding your business back isn't marketing, sales, or hiring? The right Business Growth Strategy often isn't about adding more—it's about simplifying what already exists. As your business grows, it's easy to become the person every decision, problem, and question flows through. The result? Longer hours, constant firefighting, and a business that depends on you instead of supporting you. Sustainable growth doesn't happen by working harder. It happens when you intentio...

  How to Lead a Team When Performance Keeps Falling Short 02.07.2026 25分

  If you're wondering how to lead a team when performance keeps falling short, the answer may not be what you think. It's easy to assume missed deadlines, inconsistent communication, or declining results point to employee issues. But more often than many founders realize, the real challenge isn't a lack of accountability—it's a lack of leadership clarity. Before you jump to conclusions, ask yourself whether your team truly understands what's expected, what success looks like, and where ownershi...

  Avoiding Difficult Conversations Is Hurting Your Leadership Skills 25.06.2026 15分

  Most founders think Avoiding Difficult Conversations protects relationships. In reality, it quietly damages them. Every conversation left unsaid chips away at trust, lowers accountability, and weakens team performance. Over time, your employees feel the tension, your business slows, and your confidence as a leader takes the biggest hit. The conversation isn't the problem. Avoiding it is. Many founder challenges don't begin with strategy or systems—they begin with the moments leaders hesitate ...

  Leadership Skills for Business Owners: Welcome to The People Side of Business 18.06.2026 15分

  Most business owners believe growth comes from better marketing, stronger sales, or more sophisticated systems. But what if the real growth constraint is leadership? Leadership skills for business owners are rarely discussed with the same urgency as strategy and revenue, yet they often determine whether a company can successfully grow beyond the founder. As businesses expand, new challenges emerge. More clients, more opportunities, and more responsibilities place increasing demands on the pe...

  Welcome to The People Side Of Business! 11.06.2026 4分

  Have you ever felt like everyone is talking about marketing, sales, and scaling, yet no one is talking about the leadership challenges that come with building a business? That gap is exactly why leadership skills for female business owners deserve a much bigger conversation. Because while growth strategies matter, businesses ultimately succeed or struggle based on the people leading them. Women founders are building impactful companies while often balancing responsibilities far beyond the bu...

  [S5 Ep50] The Messy Middle of Scaling: When Vision & Execution Stop Matching with Kaitlyn David 28.05.2026 32分

  You had the vision. You built the thing! And somewhere between starting and scaling, the message got muddier, the team got busier, and the gap between what you meant to build and what's actually being delivered started to widen. This week's guest knows exactly how to close the gap. I sat down with Kaitlyn David— brand strategist, fractional CMO, and an all-around grounded, human-centered marketing thinker. Kaitlyn looks at marketing from the inside out, and she has some fantastic insight on ...

  [S5 Ep49] The CEO Shift: Why Doing Everything Yourself Is Quietly Killing Your Business with Elizabeth Eiss 21.05.2026 41分

  This week, I sat down with Elizabeth Eiss, founder of Results Resourcing, and she said something in particular that I knew I needed to share with you. That 57% of the average founder's time is spent on non-core work. Work that isn't generating revenue, isn't in their zone of genius, and that someone else could do better, faster (and with significantly more joy). That number made me look at my own week differently! And this episode will help you do the same, as you hold up the mirror long enou...

  [S5 Ep48] The Real Entrepreneur Journey: Chaos, Growth & Figuring It Out with CEO Taunya Woods Richardon 14.05.2026 40分

  Entrepreneurship isn't a straight line. It's messy, unpredictable, and sometimes a complete sh*t show. This week, I sat down with Taunya Woods Richardson, founder of Nail the Numbers, with 30 years of entrepreneurial experience. We went everywhere. From the peaks and valleys of building something from scratch to losing $250,000 and rebuilding from the ground up, to the financial empowerment work she's been doing ever since to make sure no other founder has to go through what she went through ...

  [S5, Ep47] Why Ignoring Your Mental Health Is Hurting Your Business with Shulamit Ber Levtov 07.05.2026 37分

  Your business is only as healthy as you are. Which is exactly why founder mental health isn't a nice to have, a soft skill or something to get to when things slow down. It's a core business strategy, with data to back it up. And this week's guest Shulamit Ber Levtov is the Entrepreneur's Therapist — a therapist who specializes in supporting women founders, business owners and entrepreneurs with the emotional and mental health demands of running a business. ✨ Episode Highlights 🧠 The rese...

  [S5, Ep46] No Ego, No Power Struggles: Inside a High-Trust Leadership Model With The Team from Artemis Factor 30.04.2026 31分

  Three co-founders. Seven years in. But every expert told them it would never work... When Shannon, Katrina, and Tara started Artemis Factor, the advice was unanimous: "Three founders is too many!" They were told that someone needs to be at the top. That two is already hard so three is a disaster waiting to happen. And yet here they are, seven years later, leading a thriving consultancy in the pharmaceutical space with a model built on high trust, shared leadership, and a genuinely...

  [S5, Ep45] The Hidden Factor Behind Female Founder Burnout (It’s Not What You Think) with CEO Angela Johnson 23.04.2026 45分

  I'll be honest, this episode is deeply personal for me. In 2024 I went through a period where I genuinely couldn't figure out what was happening to my body. Memory fog. Digestion issues. No sleep. Some days it was hard to work because my eyeballs hurt. Literally. And I kept pushing through because that's what we do — until I couldn't anymore. And we get into all of that and more in this episode with Angela Johnson, CEO of sanoLiving, a women's digital health platform reimagining midlife...

  [S5, Ep43] Stop Building in the Dark: Community, Connection and Leading Without Loneliness (with Kristina Bartold-Sorgota) 09.04.2026 49分

  You can have a successful business and still feel completely alone. A lot of founders I know are building in the dark and making decisions in isolation, without a real space to let out their thoughts (that have turned into secrets at this point) and be supported. This episode is about what changes when you get out of that loneliness. It features the wonderful Kristina Bartold-Sorgota, co-founder of The Social Snippet, a social media and podcasting agency, and the co-creator of Hig...
