The success of your business doesn’t just depend on WHO you hire… but on HOW you lead them. 

So, how can you ensure that you are being the leader you are meant to be – in order to have a TEAM that shines in their roles, without you getting involved in daily tasks? 

Today, we are diving into Part 1 of a 2-part series all about the kind of leadership that transforms businesses from the inside out. This episode is about “Leadership of TEAM” and “Leadership of SELF” – the internal aspects of how you lead in business.

What You’ll Learn in Today’s Episode: 

  • What to do when you feel like you’re the only one who truly CARES for your business
  • How to STOP chasing your team for updates, redoing work, and hand-holding
  • Create a team that FREES up your time, rather than creating more work and stress
  • The three types of leadership every woman in business needs to understand – and which should come first
  • Why the shift from doer to director is SO important… but feels so uncomfortable
  • How to create clarity and empowerment with your team (no matter the size) and create a thriving team culture
  • The subtle but crucial difference between managing and LEADING (& how to balance the two!)
  • What “Leadership of Self” actually means… and why it is the foundation of not just your business, but your ability to move confidently through life
  • How to redefine what leadership is ‘supposed’ to mean, let go of the fear and self-doubt, and understand what YOU need in order to lead.

Whether you have no team at all, you’re managing a microbusiness, or you’re evolving how you show up as the leader of an established business…

… this episode is about YOU stepping into your power, voice, and ability.

And, be sure to join us next week for Part 2 of this series.

About the host

Suzi Dafnis

Hi there. I’m Suzi Dafnis, CEO at HerBusiness. My BIG passion is helping women business owners to grow and scale their business, so that they can create their ideal lifestyle and make a difference in the world. Every day I am inspired by the more than 30,000 amazing women (and men!) in our community and I love finding the best education, mentors, and resources from around the globe, to help them get the skills, knowledge, and support they need to succeed. It’s been my privilege to lead HerBusiness (formerly The Australian Businesswomen’s Network) for the past 23 years (two+ decades – WOW!) because, whilst I’ve enjoyed success in business, I’ve also experienced the highs and the lows – sometimes you can feel on top of the world and in control and other times you can feel isolated, exhausted and stuck. What has made the biggest difference for me has always been having great people around me and having a lifelong commitment to learning. That’s why I am so passionate about the work we do here at HerBusiness – providing a Connection Network for women in business to get the mentors, contacts, referrals, knowledge, and skills they need to grow their confidence, make more money, build their businesses, expand their network and create the lives they love. My entrepreneurial journey started in the spare room of my Sydney apartment in 1994 when my business partner and I started a boutique events company that represented speakers and authors from the USA, here in Australia. Over the years I’ve grown multiple multi-million dollar businesses in the events, publishing and education niches – with teams in Australia, New Zealand, and the USA. Not everything has worked and there has been a degree of trial and error, and a lot of bumps in the road. But I have always had a strong commitment to always surrounding myself with great mentors and like-minded peers – a Connection Network that I can depend on and who can depend on me to be there for them too. I truly do what I love, every day.
