I've been thinking about the phrase 'β€œI don’t have the time” and being β€œtoo busy” a lot lately.

It's a topic I get asked about allll the time in relation to Leadership πŸ™‹β€β™€οΈ

Probably because when I talk about all the systems I used to run my team, all the structures and processes I put in place, it’s A LOT.

I lead 5 teams, ran meetings like clockwork to hold my team accountable to KPIs, spotlighted core values, never ignored a difficult conversation, never missed a 1 on 1 meeting to ensure my team were growing, challenged, fulfilled and delivering on their responsibilities, delivered training events, did public speaking gigs. And so, so much more.

So, when I share all these systems online, β€œhow on earth do you find the time amongst the rest of your job!?" is a very popular question.
