**Delegation Skills Training - Geelong**

**Delegation Skills Training - Geelong**

You know that feeling when you're drowning in work but your team seems to be cruising along with time to spare? Or when you find yourself staying back every night because "it's just easier to do it myself"? I've been there, and trust me, it's not sustainable. That's exactly why delegation isn't just a nice-to-have skill - it's absolutely critical for any leader who wants to keep their sanity and actually develop their people.

Here's the reality: most managers I work with are terrible at delegation. Not because they're bad people, but because nobody ever taught them how to do it properly. They either dump tasks without context (and wonder why things go wrong), or they micromanage every step (defeating the whole purpose). Some avoid it altogether because they're convinced their team "doesn't have time" or "isn't ready yet." Sound familiar?

The truth is, effective delegation transforms everything. When you get it right, you're not just freeing up your own time - you're giving your team members real opportunities to grow, building their confidence, and creating a workplace where people actually want to step up and take on challenges. I've seen teams completely turn around when their manager finally learns to delegate properly.

What makes delegation tricky is that it's not just about handing over tasks. You need to know which tasks to delegate (hint: it's probably more than you think), how to set clear expectations without being controlling, and how to provide the right level of support without hovering. There's also the whole challenge of letting go of perfectionism - because yes, someone else might do it differently than you would, and that's actually okay.

In this session, we'll tackle the real-world scenarios you face every day. Like when you delegate something important and it doesn't go perfectly - how do you handle that without crushing someone's confidence? Or when you're under pressure and every instinct tells you to just do it yourself because it'll be faster? We'll work through these situations with practical strategies you can use immediately.

**What You'll Learn**

You'll discover how to identify which tasks are perfect for delegation and which ones you should keep. We'll cover the art of giving clear, actionable instructions without writing a novel or micromanaging every detail. You'll learn how to set expectations that actually work - including how to build in checkpoints that help rather than hinder. We'll also explore how to support your team members through delegated tasks, including what to do when things don't go according to plan.

**The Bottom Line**

After this training, you'll have a practical framework for delegation skills that actually works in the real world. You'll feel confident about letting go of tasks you've been hoarding, your team will feel more trusted and engaged, and you'll finally have time to focus on the strategic work that only you can do. Plus, you'll discover that developing others through delegation is one of the most rewarding parts of professional development - for both of you.
