Have your leaders thought about taking a leadership sabbatical? Alyson Caffrey, a small business Operations Strategist, is here to share more with us about leaders taking a “leadership sabbatical”. This structured approach allows overwhelmed business leaders to step back from daily operations and focus on strategic decision-making. Alyson outlines a three-phases process: preparation, sabbatical, and reintegration. We talk about the crucial role of operators in creating systems and boundaries to support leaders. By implementing this method, leaders can have growth, empower their teams, and enhance their businesses.

Meet Tasha

She is the Founder & CEO of The Launch Guild - a full service launch support agency working with established coaches and course creators with Course & Podcast Launches. Her team is over 20 members strong and works together to support their clients in being able to focus back onto their zones of genius.  Additionally, she mentors Virtual Support Pros, Launch Managers, & Agency Owners who are passionate and ready to grow their businesses while living life on their own terms, and she is the host of the How She Did That Podcast -- a podcast for Virtual Support Pros to learn business and tech tips.

In her spare time, she watches true crime tv, sings karaoke, and tends to her organic vegetable garden. 

 

Looking back, can you identify project management skills and traits starting in childhood?

• She sees it in a different way because she has ADHD that wasn’t discovered until she was in her 20s
• Because of that, she had to create systems that worked for her to be able to function
• Now, she uses that with her visionary clients who are a somewhat scattered to “coral the chaos” and support them and translate to their team
• A lot of times we don’t see our gifts for the gifts that they are because our gifts are often the things that come easiest to us

 

“When you can unearth those gifts and realize they are true gifts that are marketable, the sky's the limit.”

 

When you first started out, did project management have a place in your service offerings?

• Absolutely. She started out as a general VA and quickly transitioned to a tech VA
• Quickly realized she was in the driver's seat out of necessity because there was so much her clients didn’t know
• She knew that experience is something that comes with time, and she also knew she could figure things out

How does project management lead to launch management?

• She started the Launch Manager Certification because she was providing a lot of launch services in her own agency and noticed that there was a huge difference between the project managers on her team who had an understanding of launches vs. strictly project management skills
• • The ones who understood launches could look at deliverables and articulate to the team what need to be changed
  • The understood launch language
• She thinks of launching as a specialty within project management

Who is the Launch Manager Certification best suited for?

• For people who are already established in the online space
• Someone who understands the common launch language
• Someone who already has the groundwork laid (such as a DOO, Project Manager, OBM, or a Tech VA) and is now ready to specialize
• Doesn’t require that you have done a ton of launch work already, but you need to understand that there will be a steep learning curve if you haven’t

• Launches are often high pressure, and those who thrive off of the pressure cooker environment do well
• Those with an adventurous spirit who wants to figure things out, and is ok with making the wrong decision
• Someone who collaborates and communicates well 

What are some common mistakes that happen when project managers step in as launch managers?

• Not managing timelines from the beginning; you need 8 weeks to execute a launch plan
• • Can’t allow client to dictate the timeline
• Not managing expectations of clients based on audience size, engagement, and the groundwork that has already been laid
• Remember that you are not responsible for the outcome of the launch in terms of revenue; you are there to support your client operationally, and it's up to your client to sell “the thing”

The Launch Manager Certification program details

• 3 month certification program
• 3 cohorts every year, next one starts in Jan 2022
• Doors close in a few weeks, check it out!
• List Natalie as the referral source

Do you regularly let the people in your world know how much you appreciate their support of your business?

                                                                                                                    Today we are talking about gratitude. This time of year, small business owners shift their focus to start preparing for the upcoming holidays. Often, we are trying to find the equilibrium for all of the family obligations that are ahead.

The time we are spending in our business are usually spent in 2 areas: 

• Delivering on our services
• Wrapping up the end of the year and/or vision casting for the new year

While all of that is good, it is definitely a season of blessings. Gratitude should be a part of your leadership all year long, but if it's not, this is the best season to start!

Do you consider yourself emotionally intelligent? How do you measure emotional intelligence, and how can you use it to your benefit as an entrepreneur?

Today, I’m speaking with Cindy Sparrow about emotional intelligence. Specifically, what emotional intelligence is, and how we change as we grow.

What is Emotional Intelligence?

• A set of social and emotional skills that influence how we view ourselves, our world, and how we respond to and impact the people and systems around us
• How we use emotional information and in an effective and meaningful way 
• Emotions and thought happen at the same time so emotional intelligence is an essential life skill
