403: Reclaiming the Business She Built with Katie MacKenzie

Written By Shelli Warren

What happens when a business owner realizes she’s no longer leading the business she built? In this episode, I talk with Leadership Lab client Katie MacKenzie, owner of Bird’s Nest Auctions, about the moment she decided to take back control of her CEO role. 

Katie shares how restructuring her team, clarifying roles, and stepping into visible leadership transformed her business in just seven months, boosting productivity, hitting a major revenue milestone, and creating more space for life outside the business. This is a candid, real-world conversation for women leading brick-and-mortar teams who know something has to change.
