The Leaders Who Got You Here May Not Be Ready For What's Next
March 5, 2027
9:00 AM - 10:00 AM

As businesses grow, the expectations of their leaders change. The people who excelled when the company was smaller may now be responsible for leading teams, making bigger decisions, developing others, and driving results at an entirely different level.
Join Petra Coach for a discussion on how business owners can recognize when a leader needs to grow, identify skills and behaviors that may be holding them back, and more intentionally develop the people they are counting on for the next stage of the business.
You'll walk away with practical ideas for recognizing leadership gaps earlier, developing the potential within your existing team, and helping your leaders grow alongside the business.
