Are you spending too much time on tasks that are holding you back from your potential?

Ana Trujillo Limón, Director, Editorial, and Executive Business Coach Jessica Colston, MS, PCC, team up in this episode to reveal how delegation and AI could transform the way advisors approach their work.

Rather than simply assigning tasks, Ana and Jessica present delegation as a strategic approach to maximizing efficiency and personal growth. They share a practical framework for tapping into team strengths, engaging gig workers, and embracing technology to streamline operations.

Jessica also explores AI’s impactful potential in financial advisory. Tools like Otter and Zocks help advisors summarize meeting notes, craft client communications, and spark creative ideas, freeing up time to focus on what matters most.

Listeners will gain actionable insights to deepen client relationships, optimize their workflows, and step into the work they love most, leaving routine tasks to trusted team members and cutting-edge tools.

Jessica Discusses:

  • Building Effective Teams: Use tools like the Kolbe assessment to delegate tasks aligned with team members’ natural strengths
  • Improving Client Experiences: Free up time for personalized attention, especially during sensitive moments
  • Practical Delegation Tips: Start small—identify two tasks to delegate this month. For guidance, try Carson Coaching’s “100 Tasks to Delegate” tool
  • And much more!
