Ah, the challenging employee! We’ve all had one. You know, the person who seems allergic to deadlines and teamwork. But what if I told you there’s a secret to transforming that challenging employee into a top performer? And it’s simpler than you think!
Meet Bob. Bob was that guy - the one who always seemed to miss the mark. However, instead of writing him off, his manager decided to dig deeper. Turns out, Bob wasn’t lazy or unmotivated; he just wasn’t clear on what was expected of him!

In my experience, team productivity is an area that most of my clients wish to look at. Is this something that could be improved for you, too❓ Do you want to get your team humming like a well-oiled machine without overhauling everything❓

Micromanaging! 😅 Yep, micromanaging — that thing you promised yourself you’d never do! Trust me, I often see how easy it is to slip into, especially when you care about the details. Unfortunately though, when you hover over every task like a helicopter parent, your team ends up feeling stifled, not supported. 😔 Once upon a time, I was a Head Chef of a prestigious banqueting centre in Bristol (yes, I am a woman of many talents!).

But a week later, Lisa’s performance was still slipping. As an entrepreneur, leader, and business owner, it can be a challenge to feel motivated all the time!
