It was love at first sight with this weeks guest, the glorious Pippa Parfait. We met a dozen moons  ago at a posh party in London and we have been firm friends ever since. Pippa has had decades of experience before she retrained as a coach, leading big teams and sorting out big companies. This super resourceful lady now runs Disobedient Business, is a strategy whiz who totally gets systems and tech but is also a coach with a massive heart, who coaches businesses to run things their way. This chat will pretty much be like our co-working chats, we welcome you folks to be a fly on the wall!

So what's this episode really about?

• How comfortable we get with chaos as business owners and why we keep things in our own head.
• We both admit to bouts of toxic productivity and talk about leaning into looking after ourselves more, making time for rest and also being playful with our businesses.
• At what point in your business cycle you know that you are ready for help. (clue: it usually starts with a tech problem)
• How self-doubt comes up when there is too much complexity, when it feels too hard.
• How do I hire someone when I need to get over my perfectionism?
• How we find safety in over functioning.

Why you should listen
If you are the kind of person who has real crunchiness when it come to delegating in your business and to let those people you have delegated too, work in their zone of genius without micro-managing, this is the episode for you!

We also talk about how tech can let you down, you can have all your ducks in a row and things still don’t go to plan, but how we are able to let this go, it’s not the end of the world.

When you work with people rather than having people working for you and the joy that comes with that.
