7. The Journey of Leonard Lyon: From Overwhelmed to Empowered

In this episode, I am joined by Leonard Lyon, a retired United States Navy Captain who now works as a consultant and CEO of LLS, a consulting firm that works with small businesses. Our guest wears many hats as he is also on the board of Break the Triangle, a not-for-profit that is focused on material and nonmaterial solutions to prevent mass shootings, and on the Youth Volunteer Corp. of Hampton Road. Do you want to learn how to delegate to prevent burnout, ask questions, and get the help you need? Leonard Lyon is sharing the solution so that you can achieve all three. 

In this episode, you will learn the following:

• The importance of delegating tasks to avoid burnout
• Being open to knowledge and sharing it with your team
• Importance of taking care of yourself and establishing good habits.
