If you’re like many business owners I’ve worked with, this thought might have crossed your mind at least once:
“Did I hire the wrong person?” 😬
You probably feel a little guilty for even thinking it.
They check all the boxes—reliable, detail-oriented, kind… ✔️✔️✔️
They finish tasks with precision… when you assign them.
But that’s the problem, isn’t it?
“Figure out what to delegate” has become a recurring task on your to-do list. And without your direction, nothing moves forward.
In a perfect world, your VA or OBM could tell you how they could best support you. They’d anticipate what’s needed and act without waiting for your green light. But right now, that’s just not happening.
So here’s the big question:
Can proactivity be taught?
The answer is 100% yes.
In almost a decade of leading teams in high 6- and 7-figure businesses, I’ve learned this: proactivity isn’t a personality trait. It’s a skill.
But here’s what most people won’t tell you:
Your team won’t suddenly “become proactive” just because you asked.
Whether or not your team is proactive is impacted by key factors like:
- Clear vision, direction, and priorities
- Defined roles, responsibilities, and expectations
- Clear guidelines, instructions, and SOPs
- Open communication and feedback loops
- Trust, respect, and safety
Sometimes, yes, a team member may not be the right fit.
But more often than not, there are small tweaks that can be made within your business operations, communication, or expectations that could shift everything and empower your existing team to step up in the way you want them to.
If you’re not sure where the gaps are (or how to start fixing them) that’s exactly what The Team Reset is designed to help with.
It’s a mini audit of your current team dynamic, systems, and structure. I’ll take a close look at what’s working, what’s breaking down, and where things are getting stuck so you can stop wondering, “Is it them or is it me?” and finally get clear answers.
Here’s how it works:
→ You sign up
→ You fill out a short, thoughtful intake form about your team systems and communication
→ I’ll review your answers and send back a personalized Loom video within 2–3 business days
→ Inside that video, I’ll walk through what I see: what’s working, what’s off, where any red or yellow flags are, and what simple shifts you can make to create more clarity and ease
Whether the issue is unclear expectations, a shaky process, or a team member who’s just not the right fit, you’ll walk away knowing exactly what to do next and how to move forward.
