Stop Being the Bottleneck: Build a Team That Solves Problems Without You

Your phone is buzzing before you're out of bed.

Your team needs a decision. By 9 AM, you've answered 15 questions. By 5 PM, you're still answering them. The actual work—strategy, growth, the stuff only you can do—never happens.

You're not managing. You're running an approval machine.

Here's the frustrating part:

Your team IS capable. They're smart. They're willing. But somewhere along the way, they've learned to ask permission for everything instead of thinking for themselves.

So now you're stuck:

• You can't scale because you're the ceiling
• You can't take time off without things falling apart
• You can't focus on what matters because you're drowning in decisions your team should be making

Sound familiar?

You've tried delegating. You've tried "empowering" them. But the cycle keeps repeating. They keep asking. You keep answering. Nothing changes.

Here's what most leaders don't realize:

Your team isn't the problem. Your system is.

They're not asking for permission because they're incompetent—they're asking because you've never taught them HOW to make decisions independently. They don't have frameworks. They don't have confidence. And they don't have permission to try, fail, and learn.

So they default to the safe option: ask the boss.

This workshop changes that.

In 2 hours, you'll learn the exact framework I use with my 1:1 coaching clients to transform "What should I do?" teams into "Here's what I did" teams.

→ Why your team constantly asks permission (and it's not what you think—it's a system issue you've accidentally created)

→ The 5 levels of team autonomy and how to move your people from total dependency to independent problem-solving

→ The Decision-Making Framework your team needs to make smart calls without you (so you stop being the bottleneck)

→ How to delegate authority, not just tasks (this is the difference between micromanaging and multiplying)

→ The handoff process that builds trust and accountability without abandoning your team

→ How to create escalation clarity so your team knows exactly when to bring things to you (and when not to)

→ Real examples of leaders who went from countless interruptions per day to less than 5—and how their teams transformed

• Your Slack/inbox is constantly lighting up with questions
• You're working 60+ hours answering things your team should handle
• You can't take a vacation without everything falling apart
• You know your team is capable but they're not acting like it
• You're tired of being the decision-maker for everything
• You want to scale but realize YOU are the ceiling

• You're looking for quick fixes or magic bullets
• You're not willing to look at your own leadership patterns
• You expect your team to change without you changing first
• You're not ready to let go of control

A proven, practical roadmap to transform how your team operates. No fluff. No theory. Just the exact frameworks and processes that work.

By the end of this 2-hour workshop, you'll have:

✓ Clarity on why your team is stuck in dependency mode (and how to break it) ✓ A decision-making framework you can implement Monday morning ✓ The confidence to delegate authority without losing accountability ✓ A clear path to get your time back while your team steps up

I'm a leadership coach who specializes in helping business owners escape the bottleneck trap. In my 8-week coaching programme, I work 1:1 with leaders to build self-led teams that solve problems independently.

This workshop is a condensed version of the frameworks I use with my coaching clients—the same ones that have helped leaders go from 60-hour weeks to 40-hour weeks while their teams perform better than ever.

Spots are limited to maintain quality conversation and personalized attention.

P.S. - Every week you spend as the bottleneck is costing you time you can't get back, growth you're leaving on the table, and sanity you desperately need. Six months from now, you'll wish you started today. Let's fix this now.
