You love the control. You hate what it's costing you. For women leaders ready to keep their standards, lighten their grip and breathe. Tool

I've been working on updating the first version of my Pocket Toolkit. Here is a second draft of a printable version. The hard copies are designed to fold into a 3.5" pocket version for easy access.

Lighten Your Grip
Hi, and welcome. I'm so glad you're here. If you found your way into this group, I'm guessing a few things sound familiar. You're the one everyone counts on. You redo things because it's faster than explaining them. You say yes when you want to say no, and you tell yourself you'll slow down once this pile is done. I know, because that was me for 30 years. I was CFO of our family business at 25, and I believed leadership meant control. I didn't let others hold the weight, just the blame. It took burnout and a hard look in the mirror to learn a different way. Here's what I know now: your high standards aren't the problem. Holding them all by yourself is. What happens here: ✦ I'll regularly Monday share a Toolbox Check-in, one simple tool you can use that week ✦ Boundary scripts for the moments you don't know what to say ✦ A circle of women who get it, without judgment Your first step: introduce yourself in the comments. Tell us your name, where you lead (work, home, community or all three), and finish this sentence: "The thing I hold on to most tightly is..." I'll go first in the comments. 💛 Kelly

The things I hold on to most tightly are the ones that can cause real trouble such as financials, board reporting, and funding requirements for a non-profit I run. I just cannot put these in someone else's hands and feel we are secure.
