You built the practice. You won the cases. You became the person everyone relies on. And somewhere along the way, you became the bottleneck. Nothing moves unless it moves through you, and the success you worked so hard for now feels like a set of chains you can't put down.In this episode, Gary sits down with team and leadership advisor Shelli Warren to unpack a problem most successful attorneys never see coming: the moment your own indispensability starts holding your firm back. Drawing on decades of leadership experience at Procter & Gamble and years advising established business owners, Shelli explains why founder dependency, not team performance, is so often the real constraint on growth. If you're carrying it all alone and feeling the burnout creep in, this conversation hands you a way out.Key takeaways:Recognize that everything runs downhill. Team problems usually trace back to unclear roles and an owner who never learned to structure the work.Test whether each person can name what they're paid to do, and whether it matches your answer.Delegate ownership, not just tasks. A project without decision space and boundaries sends people right back to you.Build a leadership layer so you're directly responsible for five people or fewer.Give your people "drum beats," regular touchpoints where they feel seen, heard, and guided.Take regular CEO days out of the office to assess your team honestly and think about the practice.About the guest: Shelli Warren is a team and leadership advisor, founder of Stacking Your Team and 1000 Islands Leadership Consulting, and a former Procter & Gamble leader with 26 years of corporate experience.

Show Notes    In this episode, we're joined by the talented Shelli Warren, a seasoned expert in helping service-based business owners cultivate exceptional leadership teams. Shelli's deep-rooted connection with Danielle is evident as they share a mutual commitment to empowering female entrepreneurs. Their insightful conversation delves into the challenges and rewards of forming a robust leadership team in the world of business.   Things to Keep In Mind as a Leader    Entrepreneurship often springs from a passion for one's craft, but the broader aspects of running a business require acquired skills. Shelli reassures us that it's absolutely normal not to adore every facet of being a business owner – a sentiment many can relate to. Acknowledging that you can't excel in all domains is crucial. Just as it's acceptable to seek financial advice, it's perfectly fine to seek help in the realm of team leadership.   Shelli emphasizes that the pursuit of perfection in every role is an unrealistic expectation. Instead, the focus should be on building a leadership team that complements your strengths. Drawing parallels to the corporate world, she highlights that in service-based businesses, a leadership team comprises dedicated individuals who align with the mission and vision. These professionals are skilled in their anchor areas, forming a cohesive unit that drives growth.   Creating a Leadership Team    The journey to creating such a team starts with recognizing potential leaders within your existing ranks. Shelli advises to identify those who think like business owners, exhibit core values, and uphold high standards. Transparent communication is paramount: openly express your intent to develop leadership roles within the company. This not only fosters internal growth but also sets the stage for a smoother transition if external hires become necessary.   Building Your Culture    When conversations with potential leaders fall short, maintaining transparency is key. While it can be disheartening, the team should understand that changes are vital for progress. Shelli stresses that leadership transformation begins with the founder's vision for the team experience. Reflecting on personal team experiences helps define desired workplace dynamics, which should be communicated openly. Recognizing and commending behaviors that embody core values further nurtures a positive atmosphere.   The Tough Conversations    Tackling challenging conversations requires clear intention. Shelli advises a focused approach, highlighting the desired outcome and encouraging the individual to actively resolve issues. Avoid overwhelming the recipient by addressing incidents individually, offering constructive feedback that paves the way for improvement.   Why Do I Want a Leadership Team?   The significance of a leadership team's role in business expansion is undeniable. Shelli explains that this team acts as a bridge between the founder and the extended team, managing day-to-day operations and reporting back. As the founder concentrates on high-value tasks, a sense of self-sufficiency grows within the leadership team. This cascades into a culture where direct leaders guide their teams, leading to quality interactions and fewer interruptions for the founder.   In conclusion, Shelli Warren's insights illuminate the path to creating a leadership team that complements your strengths, propelling your business to new heights. By embracing the idea that you can't excel in every aspect and fostering transparent communication, you empower your team to take ownership and drive success. Tune in to discover how to cultivate a leadership team that propels your business growth while allowing you to focus on your core passions.   Key Points [03:56] Things to keep in mind as a leader  [07:09] Creating a leadership team  [21:25] Building your culture   [28:40] The tough conversations  [32:53] Why do I want a leadership team?   Connect with Danielle: Website | Kickstart Accounting Facebook | Kickstart Accounting Inc.  Get Started Today:  https://kickstartaccountinginc.com/get-started/

“The minute you move into a leadership role, it's no longer about you.” –Shelli Warren   Being a great individual contributor doesn't always make for the best leadership material.

“You're offering a career, not a J-O-B and we want people to come and join your team because they see the value in having a career, alongside you.” -Shelli Warren Finding the right people to build your dream team can be exhausting. It is often so overwhelming a process that we let desperation take hold. Seeking to grab anyone we can to help us, rather than taking the time to really find people who are the best fit. It is the goal of every business owner to eventually get out of the day-to-day, to better focus on business development, but we can't do that without a trusted team, and without belief in ourselves as the leaders of our own businesses. But if you are constantly dragging people behind you, they aren't adding positive value to your business. You need from the moment you post the interview, all the way through to the way your business practices, to paint a picture of the future, that the right people can connect to and feel at home in. Walking in step with you towards your goals, not holding you back from them. Shelli Warren, a team and leadership coach with Biz Chix and host of the Stacking Your Team podcast, is this week's featured guest. She discusses the importance of effective leadership, learning from your clients and building a business pointed firmly at the future, not dragging the past behind you. During this interview, you'll learn... How to paint a story of your business that makes others want to be a part of it The importance of building your team around the future, not the past The value of learning every lesson life has to teach you Learn more about Shelli and Biz Chix at this link.

How do you build your interior design team when the current job market is a race for talent? Hiring stellar candidates isn't easy in a competitive market. So how do you appeal to your ideal hire? How do you retain top talent? What's the best method for promoting from within? These are just a few of the questions Shelli Warren answers in this episode of Wingnut Social!  Shelli Warren is a team and leadership coach and the host of the BizChix Sisters podcast, “Stacking Your Team.” She leverages 26 years of experience to deliver multi-million dollar projects for billion-dollar brands.

You have to position a job as the best career opportunity anyone would come across. You need to market the job opportunities, team culture, and clients. You position yourself as a place of work where someone can have a career—not a job. Why? People have had it with their jobs. They want something creative and worthwhile. You need to create visuals so potential hires can see themselves working alongside you.  If you're selling a product or service, you have to tell its story, right? You want to position your role the same way. Share what a “day in the life” looks like. Paint a picture so they can see themselves in that role long-term. It helps decrease turnover. You want to be able to confidently select the people that will join your team that are in it for the long haul.  Shelli notes that you must be transparent about compensation and benefits. Many people who had really incredible salaries get to a point where it isn't about the money anymore. They want to feel like what they're doing is worthwhile. But you need to put the salary out there in black and white. Be professional and say: here's the role, the title, what the role looks like, the anchor skills, and the compensation. If it aligns with their career goals, they'll want to meet with you. If someone isn't okay with that number, don't waste each other's time.  How can new designers create a compelling job description when they don't have a solid team culture to brag about? Listen to hear Shelli's thoughts. How do you retain employees for the long haul? Shelli jokes that you have to remind your team just how good they have it! She notes that you can read testimonials to your team. Share the goals that you are crushing. It's about creating storylines where everyone understands their role and how it rolls up into the mission of the business.  Don't be afraid in one-on-one conversations and quarterly reviews to give people shoutouts and remind them what they bring to the business. Make sure it isn't just the “rock stars” who are getting the spotlight. Every rockstar has a team supporting them. Acknowledge everyone on the team and remind them that the work they do is worthwhile. Great leaders know how to intrinsically motivate their team with real data. It's more than “way to go” and “good job.” Your team wants professional feedback that assures them that you notice how hard they work day in and day out.  What role does a career page on your website play in hiring? How do you leverage LinkedIn, Indeed, and networking to stack your interior design team?

When it comes to scaling a business, there are both mindset and procedural changes that need to be made to take entrepreneurs out of the day-to-day work and into the CEO role overlooking the business as a whole. This week's episode 54 of Female Founders Breaking Boundaries is about embracing your leadership role!Have you ever felt like you were WAY too busy, stressed out, burnt out, and overwhelmed so you were advised to delegate some tasks to take things off your plate and free up some time? Except, maybe it didn't work. If getting out of the day-to-day in your business was as simple as hiring more people, then why are you still feeling overwhelmed and burned out? You are not alone! Sometimes, simply delegating tasks doesn't work and instead shifts your workload from “doing” to “managing.”I invite you to use the exercise that our own C-Suite clients use to take the first step in turning your team into a well-oiled, self-managed machine- and get you out of the delegation catch 22. Download the exercise here to get started!In this episode of Female Founders Breaking Boundaries, my guest Shellii Warren is sharing the importance of having a solid, foundational strategic plan that outlines the trajectory of the business. Having this plan will allow entrepreneurs to hire proactively, not reactively, and leave the day-to-day operations to their team so that they can better step into their leadership position. Some of the things Shelli and I cover in this episode are:Sherri's journey retiring from Corporate America and moving into her encore career with BizChix. The 2 types of people you need to hire when you're ready to scale your business. Practices to maintain a healthy and productive team.Learning to have tough conversations and admit to your mistakes early on for the benefit of both you and your team. The difference between coaching and criticizing.Delegating the day-to-day operations of your business frees up time to focus on the big picture of your business while avoiding burnout.Why we are dropping the terms “boss” and “employee” for words that bring more cohesion to the team environment. Delegating to your team is a way to create opportunities for others to take ownership of tasks, leave their stamp on the business and spend every day playing to their strengths so that you can play to yours. Thanks for listening!

"If you find yourself telling a story around your pricing, you are likely justifying your price." Don't open yourself up for negotiations. You don't need a story when you are increasing your prices. You don't want to put yourself on your back foot in the sales conversation.  Do you feel the need to blame others when something has gone wrong or fallen through the cracks? Don't! Nikki says it is a huge rapport breaker and will diminish any credibility and authority you might have. When you make a mistake, you acknowledge it, apologize and ask for forgiveness, you don't need any other justification. "Because you have a lot of skills at what you can do, it doesn't mean you should do it, and it doesn't mean you want to do it." Nikki discusses that when your business grows, you will inevitably decline business, don't justify your reasons for declining to work with someone.  Nikki's blend of teaching, sharing her knowledge, and telling stories makes this podcast easy to listen to. As we've come to expect from Nikki, she shares things that, as business owners, we've probably all had these issues but didn't realize there was another way to handle them. Thank you, Nikki, for telling us like it is. In This Episode: [00:43] Welcome to the show! [01:30] Nikki shares two five-star reviews from listeners Sonoma Kate and Shelli Warren.

[05:04] Nikki gives an example of a justification that she sees. [07:09] When things have gone wrong is another time you don't want to justify all the ways it's your fault. [08:48] Nikki shares a story around justifying yourself when things go wrong. [10:30] Nikki speaks about moving from Washington to Idaho last week and hiring packers and movers. [13:30] Nikki talks about what happened when trying to get her stuff delivered. [16:37] Nikki shares what happened when she asked for an apology from the company's representative. [18:29] Nikkis speaks about her niece losing her retainer after wrapping it in a napkin, even though she knew better.

There is a seismic shift going on in the workplace. Workers are no longer commuting long hours or sitting at the same desk day in day out. Now a staggering 61% of the workforce is shifting to become remote workers and digital nomads working all over the world. But what are the legal implications of working with a team that is not in a physical office and may not even be in the same zip code or even country as your business?  And what if you face a remote worker dispute? With these remote work arrangements, employers need to ensure that they are supporting their remote teams as well as protecting their own business.  This episode of Stacking Your Team explores everything you need to know when hiring remote workers or digital nomads. From how to set up the working relationship, to correctly classifying worker statuses. To discuss how to safeguard your business and your remote workers, Shelli Warren is joined by Tara Vasdani, the principal lawyer and founder of Remote Law, Canada. Tara lives in Ontario where she leads her law firm and is quickly becoming renowned for her expertise in remote working litigation.

It’s the future of work, so listen in to discover everything you should be considering when building an inclusive, effective virtual working team.   In this episode, we discuss: How to ensure you set up robust worker arrangements to ensure inclusion and fair treatment What you may need to do differently when hiring digital nomads Current trends in remote employer disputes and how to protect your business How to create an inclusive and supportive working environment for your virtual team What steps you can take to proactively safeguard action being taken against you and your business   Join the BizChix Community Connect With Tara Vasdani Website LinkedIn Twitter Books, Tools or Events Mentioned: Zoom Other Links Mentioned: Costa Rica Work from Home Bill Want To Work From Anywhere?
