It’s not just clarity—it’s expectations, so specific there's no room for misinterpretation. This episode dives into the deadly mistakes managers make when they avoid hard conversations or assume clarity where there is none. Then it arms you with a 3-pillar framework for effective leadership conversations—control, confidence, and connection—and a practical script for turning uncomfortable performance chats into powerful turning points. This isn’t theory. It’s a playbook to start leading with purpose, solving issues early, and creating a culture of ownership. &nbsp;   ⏱️TIMESTAMPS 0:00 — Why communication, not market conditions, is holding your team back 5:00 — How poor feedback habits kill performance and trust 10:00 — The 3 Pillars of Effective Leadership Conversations 15:00 — A feedback framework that transforms performance 20:00 — The Sarah &amp; Mike story: how real feedback creates real results 25:00 — Weekly challenge and next steps to master communication &nbsp;   👉&nbsp;Links: 👉&nbsp; 👉&nbsp; &nbsp;  Join our mailing list to receive our team's latest news and updates.

Who’s Running You? Easy Time Management Tips that are hard to put into place
There’s an old saying “Time Flies and you’re the Pilot”
•	Anybody that is growing in their career or in their business, is unlikely to ever wake up one day and have less to do. 
•	Nope, that would be a pretty sexy fantasy that most overworked, stressed out frustrated executives and managers have given up on. But Wait! Maybe there is a way of having less stress, less pressure, fewer distractions and surprises.
•	 It just won’t happen overnight. 
•	Take control of your work load. It is the only way to truly manage your responsibilities to a level where the job is not running you.
•	 Easier said than done…right? How in the world do you literally start running your business and stop your business running you?
•	Allow the Business Mechanic to show what’s broken under your hood so we can order the right parts, then get them installed. 
•	It’s not a 30-minute lube job. This will be  a long-term commitment by you in order to make this change work.
•	Understand and accept that the biggest barrier to time management is YOU!
•	You must raise your level of self accountability. Commit to your self that you will  take these approaches one at a time. There is no order to them, just pick one that you would like to start with and get started.
•	I learned an important lesson not long ago from Dr. John O’Keefe. It takes 21 days to BEGIN to form a habit, not ingrain a habit.
•	 It takes months to fully form a new habit into your daily life to where it is fully part of your natural routine.
•	 Ah RATS, instant success is not part of this advice. Thanks for that insight Dr John.
•	 Don’t get down on yourself if your resort back to your old ways during the formation phase. Just recognize it, stop, readjust and get back on track to forming a better personal relationship with your workload.
•	As any Business Coach would tell you…You must become uncomfortable to begin the process of learning and changing anything in your daily habits. 
•	So that’s where you must hold yourself accountable, know that it will take a while, it will not be easy or come without some level of discomfort and strain
•	I'm sharing some great tips today to help you begin to start the process of changing who runs your day
