The Impact Ripple - Hiring and Leadership for Visionary Female Business Owners

Have you ever felt like you’re supposed to “have it all together” before hiring your first employee?
If so, you’re not alone.
Over the years, I’ve come across a lot of wild information on these mean internet streets and stories from clients who have felt shamed for not having things more together.
I’ve heard people shouting from their virtual rooftops to “get your systems in order” and “make sure you have detailed SOPs” in place before you dare hire anyone.
But I don’t buy into all of that. At least not when you’re thinking of hiring your first employee.
You are worthy of hiring help. Regardless of what the inside of your business looks like.
Join me in this episode for a peek behind the curtain into my own business and hiring experience. I promise you’ll walk away feeling seen and hopefully inspired!

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why you don’t have to “have it all together” to hire help
What you should really focus on when hiring
3 tips for developing greater self-worth

2. The Journey to Leadership

Stepping into your first leadership role can be scary. You know you’re meant for more and you’re ready to give it your best, but where do you start and how do you know you’re on the right path?
In this episode of The Impact Ripple, we’re talking about the journey to leadership.
While some of us choose leadership as a career, others are chosen to step up and lead. Regardless of how you got here, there are some key phases all leaders must go through in order to create the kind of impact they truly wish to have in this world.
During this conversation, I share part of my own leadership journey (as well as the many personality assessments that told me I wasn’t cut out to be a leader!) and the way I experience being a leader in my own unique way.
You’ll also learn about a powerful tool I’ve created called The Leadership Impact Model, which will help you develop your leadership skills from the ground up, so you can reach your full potential and create massive impact.
If you’ve been looking for a roadmap for your leadership journey, be sure to check out this episode!
