Create a Team That’s Dependable, Not Dependent on You
Say goodbye to dependence and overwhelm with this step-by-step freedom formula
I'M READYLet's Be Honest...
Does This Sound Like You?
-
 It’s just faster if I do it myself.
-
 Why do they ask me about everything? They are allowed to make decisions themselves.Â
-
 I don’t know how to delegate without either micromanaging or being too hands-off.
-
 So much is dependent on me and it is overwhelming.
-
I want to help my team grow professionally, but I don't know how to do that without telling them what to do next. Â
-
 If I were to step away suddenly, everything falls apart.
You Are Not Alone...
I know what it’s like to feel like your team’s success depends entirely on you—I’ve been there, and so have many leaders I work with. But it doesn’t have to stay that way.
You may feel like my client, Katie. She was drowning in decisions, convinced her team “wasn’t ready” to step up. After the Empowered Teams Academy, she shifted how she led conversations—and suddenly, her team started taking ownership without her pushing, reminding, or rescuing.
What If 3 Months From Today, You Had…
-
A team that confidently takes initiative without you having to micromanage.
-
A workplace where your people are empowered to solve problems on their own.
-
More time to focus on the things you do best, while your team thrives independently.
-
The freedom to lead with joy, knowing your team is handling things smoothly and confidently.

Hi FRIEND
I'm Kara...
A leadership coach and former overwhelmed leader. I used to carry the weight of my team’s success on my shoulders, constantly solving problems and making decisions for them. But after almost reaching complete burnout, I realized that by keeping them dependent on me, I was holding them back.
Years ago, I decided to break free from this cycle and learn how to empower my team instead. By shifting from being the “fixer” to a coach, I built a thriving, self-sufficient team. Now, I’m passionate about helping leaders like you break free from the dependency trap and build empowered, high-performing teams that you get to lead with joy and freedom.
Don't Just Take My Word For It...

Katie Whigham, Founder of CYT Nashville
“Before taking The Empowered Teams Academy, I felt unsure of how to balance decision-making authority with empowering others. Throughout the course, I’ve become more confident in making strategic decisions while ensuring my team feels supported and valued. I would absolutely recommend this course to others. It’s ideal for anyone looking to elevate their leadership skills and create a more cohesive, effective team."
Mark Blasko, Owner/GM Chuckster's Family Fun Parks
“This course is thorough, manageable, and best of all, it works! Kara's insight into the dynamics that "trap" small organization owners and managers is spot on, and she offers simple, effective solutions. Complete with checklists, her material is digestible and uses common sense to help leaders get their lives back, bring out the best in their subordinates, and their organizations flourish. I highly recommend it!"
."
Christine Green, School Principal
"I highly recommend this course to others who are looking to improve their leadership skills in a practical, time-efficient way. Leading a team can be incredibly time consuming whether you are a new or seasoned leader. Having short, to the point modules made it easy to enjoy and implement the training with my already cramped schedule. My team is already seeing the benefits and so am I!"
