Ready to lead a high-performing team that takes real ownership?

If you've ever caught yourself saying "it's quicker if I just do it myself," or noticed that the same work keeps quietly landing back on your desk no matter how many times you've handed it over, this masterclass is for you.

Join Heather Elkington for a 45-minute practical masterclass (+ Q&A) on how to delegate properly - not by disappearing, lowering your standards, or hoping for the best, but through a system that builds real, lasting ownership across your team.

You'll learn the exact shift that turns a team who brings you everything into a team who solves things themselves, so you can finally step back from the day-to-day and lead like the manager who built something bigger than just yourself.

You'll learn how to:

Delegate outcomes, not tasks: the one distinction that decides whether your team grows more capable or just gets handed more tasks

Stop rescuing without stepping back completely: the reframe that lets you support your team without doing their thinking for them

Build real ownership, not just task completion: how to hand off a piece of work so it actually stays handed off using The Delegation Engine™

Prevent reverse delegation: clearly communication purpose and outcomes to avoid work quietly ending up back on your desk

+ [BONUS] The Delegation Engine™ - turn routine delegation into daily motivation, clearer ownership and stronger results (without you being the bottleneck)

Heather began her career as an Assistant Manager on the Harrods shop floor.

She went on to help scale the SaaS company GoProposal to multi-million-pound revenue and an eight-figure exit, before joining Sage (FTSE 100) as Director of Operations, leading five high-performing teams.

After seeing how outdated most management training had become, Heather founded Fresh Leadership World, which has now trained over 5,000 managers worldwide and reached tens of millions online. Her clients include global organisations such as Sony Music Publishing, the Ministry of Defence, Abercrombie & Fitch, American Express and Specsavers.

It was this same frustration, watching great managers fly blind, armed with annual surveys and gut instinct, that led Heather to Custard, a culture intelligence platform that gives managers real-time insight into how their teams are really feeling, and exactly what to do about it.

She is a TEDx speaker and a Penguin-published author with her debut book 'Your Boss Era.'
