In this episode, Doris and Regina kick off season four with a conversation about the challenges of getting things done while managing multiple responsibilities. They discuss the importance of delegation and the fear that often prevents people from asking for help, including the fear of losing control, not meeting expectations, or losing relevance.

Using a personal story of how Regina overcame her need for perfection during holiday cleanup, the duo shares practical strategies for effective delegation, such as setting clear expectations, framing delegation as an opportunity for growth, and asking for help when needed. They also emphasize the value of assessments like DISC and Hogan to understand team dynamics and develop others. Tune in for tips on increasing productivity and shifting your mindset!

The free online tool we discuss is personalvalu.es. Its pretty neat and gets you to your top 5 values based on a sorting exercise.

One additional tool we didn't mention is Positive Psychology's toolkit that begins with a 10-minute values assessment.
