What if your team stopped waiting to be told what to do - and started leading with you?

In this power-packed episode of The Real Women Real Business Podcast, Shauna Lynn Simon is joined by Hall of Fame speaker and business growth expert Meridith Elliot Powell to explore what it truly takes to lead in a world defined by rapid change. If you’re tired of shouldering the full weight of your business while your team merely ticks off tasks, this episode offers a blueprint for genuine change.

Meridith breaks down how to stop being the bottleneck in your business and start building a team that takes initiative, thinks critically, and drives results without constant hand-holding. She shares her simple but powerful Ask for Change system that shifts your team out of task mode and into solution mode - without sacrificing quality or control.
 If you’re ready to lead a team that moves the business forward with you (instead of waiting on you), this conversation will change how you lead forever.
