The Art of Letting Go with Kim Strohmeier - Updated

In this episode, we sit down with Kim Strohmeier, founder of Still Waters Business Coaching, to explore “The Art of Letting Go”—a transformative concept for business owners struggling to scale because they’re caught in the weeds. Kim shares how effective delegation is less about giving tasks away and more about empowering others through intentional training, mindset shifts, and clear authority structures.

Drawing on analogies from orchestral conducting and tools like the Profit & Play Prism™ and Milestones to Mastery™, Kim breaks down a step-by-step approach to offloading the right tasks to the right people. We discuss common mindset traps, how to build trust through feedback, and how letting go can unlock hidden strengths in your team—and yourself.

Whether you're overwhelmed with day-to-day operations or seeking a practical framework to build a more resilient and scalable business, this episode provides actionable insights to help you focus on what you do best.
