CEO Mindset

How to be the leader of the team, not a player in the team. Becoming the CEO is less about the title and more about WHO we are becoming. In this introductory module, we’ll tackle the common beliefs that keep women from truly stepping into the CEO role with confidence. We’ll address imposter syndrome, entrepreneurial guilt, leadership overwhelm, and several other emotional traps that perpetuate women not fully owning their CEO-ness and their CEO-greatness.

Leadership and Team Operating System

Like any other organism, the business has to have an operating system to function. Up until now, you’ve likely had ‘good’ systems that work, but they may not be scalable. We need to get to a business that has an intentional design of the vision, values, expectations and goals that create the culture you want, on purpose.

The Hiring Process

The team dictates your success. Period. The design and effort you put into it will translate into the results you achieve through others. In this module, we will learn how to identify roles needed, write the descriptions, hiring best practices and onboarding.

The Accountability Process

People want to win. In order to win, they need finish lines and goals. As the leader, you create the process by which team members celebrate or need to course correct. Learn how to hold team members accountable to roles, goals and behaviors through regular performance recognition and review. Accountability is an essential part of a high performing team. And it can be achieved with grace and transparency.

The Firing Process

Firing is never easy. But it’s especially difficult if you don’t have a firing process in place. In this module, I will teach you how to know when it’s the right time to fire, what measures you need to have in place, and how to pull the plug when it’s necessary.

Delegating

Ahhh. The most frustrating of all skills to master. Or so our clients tell us! Together we will focus on and learn the best practices for how to communicate desired results. Teach employees how to read your mind, and achieve results. And the difference between delegation, mis-delegating, and abdication.

Managing Difficult

Difficult people. Difficult moments. Difficult clients. Dealing with difficult is a process and a leadership superpower that all CEOs must master. We will teach you how to handle anything that comes your way that you (initially) experience as difficult.

Giving Feedback and Coaching Team Members

Many people confuse feedback with confrontation. Feedback is neutral. Especially when we follow the Performance is Not an Opinion approach. Most of us haven’t been taught how to give feedback so we just do it the way it was offered to us. But once you have a system and a practice for feedback, you can translate your conversations into meaningful development and coaching discussions instead of lectures or talk-ats.

Systems of Freedom

You started the business so you could be your own boss, but somewhere the business became the boss of you. In the How to CEO program, we teach you what the Systems of Freedom are for Female CEO’s so you can have the business, the life and the experience you CHOOSE to have.
