Let’s start with a quick question…
Are you leading your team or just managing it❓ If you’re scratching your head, you’re not alone. The line between leadership and management is finer than the difference between “affect” and “effect”! Let’s break it down…

For much of my career, I have supported leaders and managers to be at the top of their game. Today, I thought I’d share some of the most essential skills I feel every manager should develop if they wish to aim higher…
📌 Emotional Intelligence (EQ) - Gone are the days when a manager could just bark orders! Nowadays, it’s all about understanding your team’s emotions and motivations by supporting and listening to them. Got a team that’s more “meh” than motivated? Don’t worry - you’re not alone. Motivating a disengaged team can feel like trying to start a car with a dead battery, but I’ve got a step-by-step guide that’ll have them revving their engines in no time. 🚗
👉 Step 1: Listen Up: The first step is to listen - really listen. Hold one-on-one meetings to find out what’s going on. Are they bored? Overwhelmed? Frustrated? Sometimes, just feeling heard can make a huge difference. In my last post, I shared some of my top AI tools! Today, I am going to be sharing the rest of my rest AI recommendations - apps I have used to totally transform my business! 🙌
😎 ChatGPT for YouTube - For YouTube, ChatGPT for YouTube is a huge time-saver if you want a video’s key points and transcription without having to watch the entire thing. 😎 Answer the Public - Answer the Public is a brilliant tool for market research. It helps you discover the questions your target audience is asking about your product or service, making it easier to create relevant content. Over the next few weeks, I am going to be sharing the best AI tool recommendations that have totally transformed my business!
🙌 Gamma.ap - I highly recommend Gamma.app for presentations and slide decks. You can even create an entire slide deck directly from a prompt - no need to write the content yourself. It generates the deck in about 30 seconds, which is incredibly efficient. Or you can copy your text in. (Co-pilot also does this but not as well in my opinion!) 🙌 ChatGPT - For blogs, emails etc. I use ChatGPT for voice-to-text and then ask it to rewrite the content properly in my style, removing all the ums and ahs. It’s 100% AI-undetectable and works seamlessly! I also use it to write professional proposals, track my health and about a million other things! (Also a great tool for tips on how to deal with difficult team members!) Working with ADHD team members can be both a struggle and an incredible opportunity. Here’s a quick guide to identifying common traits, recognizing their strengths, and creating an environment where they can thrive! 🥰
More Common Traits of ADHD Team Members: … said half my clients when they found out I was recently diagnosed.
The other half? “Hmmm… That doesn’t surprise me at all!” 😅 My son was diagnosed with ADHD last year, and as I researched ways to support him, it hit me like a lightning bolt: I do that. And that. And… oh wow, that too. Suddenly, everything about my life started to make sense. 🥹 The constant dopamine chasing through new experiences (hello, new businesses, partners, countries, and hobbies), compulsive eating, shopping sprees, firewalking, spiritual and psychedelic ceremonies (yes, really!). The racing brain that can simultaneously solve client problems and come up with a new business idea on the way to the loo at 2 AM (true story). It’s a gift, but wow, it can wreak havoc with your sleep! 🤣 Last year, I was 99.9% sure I had ADHD. Full-on ADHD. And when I finally got the official diagnosis, I saw my life through an ADHD lens—and it kind of all made sense. 🥰 A client success story I’m very proud of… Here’s how we increased revenue by 30% in just 6 months!31/3/2025 Who doesn’t love a good success story? This one’s a favorite of mine because it’s about a company that was stuck in a rut and came out swinging - with no less than 30% revenue increase in just 6 months! Yes, 6 MONTHS! 🎉
Meet my client - for this, I’m going to call her Sarah! She is the CEO of a mid-sized company in the tech industry. When we met, her team was talented, but they were just spinning their wheels and not gaining any traction. Revenue was flat, and to be honest, morale was slipping! 😔 When Sarah and I sat down to make sense of things, it quickly became clear that the problem wasn’t the team - it was the lack of a clear growth strategy (something I see often!). To fix it, we worked together and crafted a plan focused on three key areas: Here’s a question that may shed some light…
Are you leading your team or just managing it? If you’re scratching your head trying to answer, you’re not alone. The line between leadership and management is finer than the difference between “affect” and “effect”! 😅 Let’s break it down… Ever wonder why so many business strategies crash and burn?
🚨 Spoiler Alert 🚨 It’s not because the ideas are bad! It’s because they’re poorly executed… The graveyard of failed strategies is littered with great ideas that never made it past the whiteboard. I once worked with a company that had a brilliant growth strategy. In fact, on paper, it was totally foolproof! But here’s the issue - they didn’t communicate the plan clearly to the team! Everyone was working hard wanting the business to do well, but they were all working hard in different directions… The result? Chaos and missed targets! So, if you’re running a business and developing a strategy that you want to ACHIEVE, what can you do differently? Here’s my advice: |
