  • Practical and Real

    Suzi brings so many practical teachings for running a small business, and then when she has your attention and confidence, hits you (with love) with the hard truths we need to face in order to love and succeed in our business. (And the podcast always ties in perfectly with the monthly focus for the HerBusiness membership. 😎)

    Thank you Suzi, this podcast really hit the mark today.

    A few months ago I had a health crisis which I’ve been actively working on.

    I’m in the process of re-scaling and re-doing our systems and processes through AI slowly.

    The simplicity of the suggestions will add tremendous value. Thank you.

    Suzi’s podcast offers great guidance for my business that I can really resonate with. It gets me out of my head and into an overview-a bird’s eye view that gives me lots of ‘ aha ‘ moments. I get to stand back and look at how my business is unfolding and how it can be integrated into the whole of my life with more ease. The perfect example is the recent episode on personal relationships and business and how one ripples into the other. So practical and authentic plus I picked up so many tips! I f... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

371: Can Your Business Run Without You? Signs You're the Bottleneck & Systems That Fix It – with Kristin Skinner
Q: Why does the design of those things matter more than motivation once a business hits a particular stage?
She explains that after startup, structure and clear systems determine scale; motivation alone isn't enough, and a layered framework (people, practice, programs) supports sustainable growth.
371: Can Your Business Run Without You? Signs You're the Bottleneck & Systems That Fix It – with Kristin Skinner
Q: And before we dive in, can you briefly share what you do, who you work with and how you help businesses run more smoothly?
Kristin describes Velocity Co and how she helps executives redesign organizational systems so that the business runs like a machine while people remain human, reducing hidden friction.
370: How to Delegate Without Losing Control of Your Business (Even the Work You Think Only You Can Do)
Q: Can you share an example of feedback that changed how you thought about leadership or a department?
I received feedback about creating a clear pathway for constructive feedback, which led me to establish an operational improvement board where issues are moved to a dedicated team to solve, fostering ownership and empowerment.
370: How to Delegate Without Losing Control of Your Business (Even the Work You Think Only You Can Do)
Q: Was there anything you had to shift in yourself before you could truly hand over the role?
Yes, I had to move past the belief that no one else could do it as well as I can, which involved documenting processes, building trust through structured onboarding, and letting the team own the outcome.
370: How to Delegate Without Losing Control of Your Business (Even the Work You Think Only You Can Do)
Q: And I'd love to know, what does it mean for you in your business to be doing things by your rules?
It means having freedom of choice and setting the pace, choosing what to do and not to do, and prioritizing actions that align with my values and business goals, rather than following someone else's formula.
