Part 2: How I Prepped My Team for Matern...

Kelly McKenna, Therapist & Business Coach
About this episode

Maternity leave prep isn't just about buying baby clothes and packing a hospital bag. It's about making sure my business can run without me for three full months! In today's episode, I'm sharing how I prepped my team for maternity leave.

Yep, I'm officially taking October, November, and December completely OFF. A lot of planning and preparation has gone into making this possible. But there's NO way I would be able to do this without my incredible team!

Stay tuned for part 3 in this series next week - I'll be sharing about how I prepped my content for maternity leave!

In this episode, I cover: 

  • Breakdown of the tasks that only I can do in my business + planning for each one
  • What my team structure and support look like right now
  • Identifying the areas of my business that need extra coverage while I’m on leave
  • How I trained + prepared my team to step in & keep things running smoothly
  • Systems & boundaries I put in place to prevent bottlenecks and over-reliance on me
  • Tips for automating + streamlining your business if you don’t have a team yet
