Big Dreams Great Teams ®

Welcome to our Client Lessons Series.
These are short sharp episodes where Paula Maidens draws on her client coaching calls each week to share a key lesson, learning or tip in a way that is quick and easy for you to digest.

Client Lesson Summary

In this episode, Paula shares a personal lesson from the universe about the importance of delegation and recognising when to ask for help.

Despite having the ability to update her own website, Paula found that doing so was not always the best use of her time. She recounts her experiences with two major website mishaps and the valuable lessons learned about efficiency, delegation, and the importance of pausing before diving into tasks.

Key Takeaways:

• The Importance of Delegation: Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. Recognising when to delegate can save time and improve outcomes.
• Learning from Mistakes: Paula shares two stories where her attempts to update her website led to more problems, highlighting the complexities of seemingly simple tasks.
• The Value of Pausing: Taking a moment to assess whether you should do something yourself or delegate it can prevent mistakes and inefficiencies.
• Balancing Excitement and Patience: Paula discusses how adrenaline and excitement can lead to impulsive decisions and the importance of channelling that energy into effective delegation.
