    Nov 14 2024

    Delegating tasks is a struggle for most business owners, and it’s a challenge that quickly becomes an obstacle in the battle for a “work supports life” mindset. We touched on this topic as we ended our last episode, and we knew it deserved more time, attention, and deeper discussion. Join Melissa Kay, Lead Strategist at Tap the Potential, and Dr. Sabrina Starling, fresh off her recent TEDx talk, as they dive into this topic with practical insights.
