Tess Gamble: The Art of Delegation
A Conversation with Entrepreneur Tess Gamble
Delegation is an art. In this episode, Dr. Carmen Mohan sits down with Pend Upon founder Tess Gamble to talk about the importance of delegation for our overall health. As the owner of an Atlanta-based concierge firm dedicated to helping busy professionals find their work/life balance again, Ms. Gamble is an expert in the art of delegation. Learn how Dr. Mohan came to embrace the benefits of delegation and asking for help as she shares her own story of feeling overwhelmed by everything on her plate.
Sometimes leaders don’t know what they need and, therefore, don’t know how to delegate. Learn the reason why empathetic listening is key to successful delegation. When we get overwhelmed by our to-do lists, our health suffers. We waste valuable time and personal resources on tasks that we might be better off handing to others. If we can find someone we trust, it is easier to delegate. Ms. Gamble provides examples from her own life and discusses how her experience working 18-hour days with no help prompted her to start her own business dedicated to helping others delegate so that they can experience the joy of life.
