Delegation Without Guilt: The Skills to Reclaim Focus

Friday, 1:30 PM EST

If your to-do list keeps growing because “it’s just faster to do it myself,” this workshop is for you. Delegation isn’t just about getting things off your plate—it’s about building others up, focusing on the work only you can do, and staying sane in the process. You’ll learn the 7 T’s of Delegation—a clear, practical framework for identifying what to offload and why. From Tiny tasks like scheduling and logistics, to Time-Sensitive distractions, to the ones you're just Terrible At, this approach will help you delegate with strategy, not stress. You'll learn how to grow your team through Teachable tasks and avoid being the bottleneck on Time-Consuming projects that only need your eyes at the end.

You’ll also build two key FLOW skills that make delegation sustainable: how to Let It Go—quieting the perfectionism and control that keep you clinging to work—and how to Own Your Part when mistakes happen. Because they will. Instead of taking it all back or blaming your team, you’ll learn how to lead through those moments with clarity and trust. Walk away with a smarter approach to delegation, stronger team leverage, and more space to think strategically, lead proactively—and get home on time way more often.

Progress Over Perfection: The Skills to Lead with Confidence

Friday, 3:00 PM EST

For Tech Leaders, the fear of making mistakes can show up everywhere — from over-polishing a roadmap deck to rewriting your team’s code “just to be sure.” But leadership isn’t about getting it perfect — it’s about moving forward, learning fast, and helping others do the same. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to adopt a growth mindset: a practical framework that reframes mistakes as part of progress, not failure. We’ll explore how perfectionism sneaks into your leadership style — and what it’s quietly costing you.

You’ll also build two essential FLOW skills that help you lead through imperfection: how to Focus with Breath so you stay calm when fear kicks in, and how to Let It Go—releasing unrealistic expectations and the pressure to get everything right the first time. Through relatable leadership scenarios and peer-based practice, you’ll develop a more resilient mindset, sharper decision-making, and the confidence to lead with clarity — even when the outcome isn’t guaranteed (or perfect). You’ll walk away ready to apply these skills immediately in high-pressure moments, performance reviews, team decisions, and your day-to-day leadership rhythm.
