Back when I was managing a team of 35, I bent over backwards trying to please everyone, and it left me burned out, underpaid, and constantly cleaning up messes that weren't mine. In this episode, I'm telling the truth about people-pleasing leadership – how it cost me six figures, how it pushed my high performers out the door, and what finally shifted when I stopped leading for approval and started holding people accountable. If your team can't function without you, if you feel like you're the only one carrying the bag, or if resentment is creeping in, this is the conversation you didn't know you needed. ➡️ My Own Your CEO Status™ Masterclass is happening on February 17th from 6–7 PM ET – and it's free. I'll walk you through the mindset, leadership shifts, and systems your practice needs to finally run without you. Save your seat now and let's set you up for sustainable success this year. Some key takeaways from this episode include: Why people-pleasing leaders always burn out How overextending costs you six figures (and your sanity) What a \"reset conversation\" looks like The difference between being liked vs. being respected Signs your leadership style is breaking your business How Brandy turned a Tier 3 team into Tier 1 Why high performers leave when low performers run the show It's time to take back your practice and own your CEO status. On the CEO Conversations™ podcast, we will cover the business side of your practice with actionable takeaways for you to implement in your practice.
