Guest Interview: Mastering Delegation

**Don't worry - you're in the right place. Fundamentals At Work is now Inbox Zero**

INBOX ZERO WITH BIANCA LAGER

FEATURING Valerie Trapunsky

I have been on one when it comes to spreading the word about delegation lately. As the CEO of Social Intel, when I finally mastered how to do it well, it changed not only our business but my entire life.

That's why I was especially overjoyed to welcome Valerie Trapunsky, CEO of ChatterBoss and author of Delegation Nation to Inbox Zero. We had SUCH an insightful conversation and it was packed with actionable strategies to grow and scale your business (and YOUR LIFE!) through effective delegation.

RECAP

Our conversation focused on the transformative power of delegation and the importance of reclaiming time for entrepreneurs. Valerie shared her journey from personal assistant to CEO, emphasizing the significance of team dynamics and human-centric approaches in virtual assistance. We also discussed the role of AI in enhancing productivity while maintaining a personal touch, and Valerie was gracious enough to offer insights on balancing work and personal life as a busy entrepreneur and mom.
