If you ever find yourself working harder each day but not really moving the needle, feeling stretched thin by endless meetings, or stuck re-solving the same problems, you’re not alone—and you might be running on a path that leads straight to burnout.

In today’s conversation, I’ll walk you through the telltale signs that you’re trapped in growth mode, and why simply grinding harder isn’t a sustainable solution. I’ll share stories from my own coaching clients and personal journey, highlighting real-world shifts that help leaders move into a place of sustainable impact. We’ll explore how to make decisions faster, delegate more effectively, and build the kind of emotional capacity needed to support yourself and your team—without having to keep piling on more hours or stress.

If you’re ready to stop just “getting by” and start multiplying your impact (without multiplying your exhaustion), you’re in the right place. Let’s figure out how to transition your leadership from growth to scale—and reclaim your energy, clarity, and long-term influence. Let’s get started!

What You’ll Learn:

• 5 signs you’re stuck in growth mode (and how to recognize them)

• Why more effort isn’t the solution—it’s the problem

• The mindset shift every leader must make to scale their impact

• How to build emotional capacity and lead without doing everything yourself

• How to give meaningful feedback (without emotional baggage)

Client Stories Inside:

• Matt: The overwhelmed leader juggling global expansion and team drama

• A business owner stuck in indecision around her “best and final offer”

If You’re Asking:

• Why am I working harder but getting less done?

• Why is delegating so hard?

• How can I stop being the bottleneck?

…you’re in the right place.
