Desperate to Delegate

…but terrified of what might happen if you let go?

  • You’re probably (definitely) overworking and if something doesn’t change you’re heading for burnout…
  • You’re wondering why no-one quite lives up to your standards…

  • It’s starting to dawn on you (or you might have had some feedback) that you are a bit of a micro-manager…

If you’re here I’m guessing this resonates.

The internal tension of this is taking up a lot of headspace – it’s probably preventing a lot of joy and freedom in your work, and your team are wondering why you don’t trust them.

There is a way through this

In this session we will explore why you are in this pickle (please be assured there is ALWAYS a good reason) and figure out where the idea that you have to do everything has come from. We are going to do it in a really gentle way, and then you’re going to walk away with some amazing experiments to help you to slowly unhook from that.

Here’s what we are going to do, we are going to figure out why delegating feels a bit crunchy, and we’re going to figure out why you aren’t doing that already.

Does your current reality feel like this…

  • Waking up with a feeling of dread before you’ve even started your day?
  • Knackered from a never-ending to-do list and opening your laptop at home in the evening (just to get ahead on tomorrow?)
  • Finding it impossible to hand over tasks to your team? (What’s the point when you KNOW they won’t do the work to your standard)

This is what I want for you…

  • What if you could fully relax in the evening having left your laptop in the office at the end of the day…
  • Imagine the relief of trusting your team to get things done, coming to you with solutions rather than expecting you to fix everything for them…
  • Starting the day fresh from a great night’s sleep looking forward to serving your clients and engaging with the team?

Hey, I’m Kate

I help business owners, and employees recently promoted to management positions, who find it difficult to delegate, leaving them chronically overworked and risking burnout.

My background as a coach and operations manager gives me the superpower of understanding how to delegate well, from hiring, creating SOPs, to effective training. Together with having personal experience of working with [being on the receiving end of] clients who find it super crunchy to trust and let go.

I created Desperate to Delegate as I’ve found over the years it’s never about not WANTING to delegate but rather that it often doesn’t feel safe for my beloved clients to do so.

It’s not easy or quick work, but it is quite simple once you figure out what is actually going on with this pattern.

How Desperate to Delegate Works

How it works

  • You answer a few questions before we meet so we know what’s important to you
  • We meet for 90 minutes together on Zoom (the pre-session questionnaire means we can hit the ground running)
  • You have my virtual ear for unlimited support on Voxer (the “walkie talkie app”) for 6 weeks to keep you on track, ask any questions, share any wobbles (you’re not alone in the process) and celebrate wins
  • 30 minute follow up call for supported accountability (6 weeks later)

You’ll walk away with clarity on your own unique resistance to delegating and the tools to overcome it and bring freedom and joy back into your work.

Cost: £350 (one payment on booking)

Before working with Kate, I found myself stuck in a spin – logically I knew the change I needed to make, yet I couldn’t get started. Avoidance, procrastination, doom scrolling – anything but getting started. Kate’s ongoing Voxer support and the experiments we agreed on in our first session enabled me to achieve a new level of visibility in my business, show up more as myself and to grow my level of comfort in being on camera.
