Stacking Your Team launched in 2018 and has published consistently ever since.
It’s one of the longest-running and most credible women-focused small-business leadership podcasts available today for established business owners.
WHAT’S DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS SHOW?
It’s a female-hosted podcast focused on small-business team leadership, not HR, not startup storytelling, no newbie go-girl hype, and no hustle harder talk.
Episodes are highly tactical and are designed for you to “try this tomorrow.”
a note from Shelli
My clients don’t need theory. They need tools they can use at their team meeting tomorrow and at their 1:1 on Friday. That’s why everything I teach is clear, simple, and immediately actionable.
Join me each week for elevated leadership advice without the bro swagger, and let’s build your small but mighty leadership team that runs your daily operations so you don’t have to.
