Here's the question I ask every owner who tells me they're exhausted: if you walked out of your business for two weeks, would it still run?
Almost nobody says yes. And it's almost never because the team is bad. It's because everything still routes through the owner - every decision, every fire, every "hey, got a sec?" You didn't build a business. You built a job that owns you.
I'm running two working sessions in September that fix the two halves of that. Both are free.
Communicate Like a Leader Friday, September 4 – 8a – 10a
How to talk to your people so they actually move. The hard conversation you've been avoiding. Feedback that lands instead of blowing up. How to get real buy-in instead of grudging compliance. Most owners think they have a people problem. What they have is a clarity problem, and clarity is a skill you can learn in a morning. Save your seat: https://www.addevent.com/event/s017whb47z8t
The 7 Keys to a Winning Team Wednesday, September 16 – 8a – 10a
Every business that runs without its owner has the same seven things in place: strong leadership, a common goal, rules of the game, an action plan, support for risk taking, 100% involvement, and continuous learning. Miss one and you stay the bottleneck no matter how hard you work. You'll score your own team against all seven before you leave, so you walk out knowing exactly which one to fix first.

Both at The Talent Launch Event Space, 8001 Sweet Valley Dr #4, Valley View. Coffee's on me. You're back at your desk by 10:30a.
Each of these is a $595 program and I'm running both at no charge, because the fastest way for me to be useful to owners around Cleveland is to get in a room and actually work on something with them. No pitch from the front of the room. Bring a real problem from your business and you'll leave with the plan for it.
The room only holds so many, and I'd rather you take a seat than a colleague who's less ready to use it.
Come to both if you can. The communication skills are what make the seven keys stick - one without the other is half the result.
