Don’t tell people how to do things, tell them what to do and let them surprise you...

from Mpactful Messages: The ”Let’s Talk About It” Podcast · host Mayce DelValle and Missy Washam

What happens when you stop telling people how to do the work and start trusting them to rise to it? This week on Mpactful Messages: The Let’s Talk About It Podcast, Mayce DelValle and Missy Washam sit down with author, coach, and podcaster Karin Freeland to explore the quote: “Don’t tell people how to do things, tell them what to do and let them surprise you with their results.” Karin shares how empowerment, trust, and releasing control shaped her own reinvention journey and the women she now helps step into purpose. Together, they dig into why so many leaders say they want empowered teams but still struggle to let go of the how. From shifting control to courage, to slowing down long enough to develop people, this conversation challenges leaders to rethink the way they delegate, develop, and trust. If you are ready to grow your people, strengthen your leadership, and finally stop carrying everything alone, this episode will speak straight to you.
