Lead with Clarity
When your team feels ambiguity, they feel anxiety instead of empowerment. Learn how to define clear roles, set measurable goals, create consistent communication channels, and focus your day with a "must-do" list so you and your team always know what success looks like.
Delegate Without Losing Control
Discover the 70% rule and why letting go of perfection is the key to growth. Find out which tasks to hand off first, how to delegate entire processes instead of scraps, and why hiring before you feel ready can open doors you'd otherwise miss.
Shift Your Mindset and Prevent Burnout
Trade comparison for curiosity, control for trust, and scarcity for abundance. Burnout isn't just a sign that you work too hard. It's a sign that your systems aren't scaling, and you'll learn how to build the capacity that keeps you and your team going.
About the Course
Have you ever felt like you're crushing it one day and watching everything fall apart the next? In this session, Kacie Darden, owner of a boutique luxury and FIT agency outside Atlanta, gets real about the challenges of leading a small travel business, from juggling day-to-day tasks with big-picture strategy to responding to global crises you can't control. With honest stories from her own journey, including the comparison traps that still sneak up on her, Kacie shares the practical tools she uses to run her team, from Trello boards and communication flowcharts to her four-question framework for deciding which FAMs are worth it. Built-in reflection moments give you time to pause, journal, or call a fellow owner to work through your own answers. You'll leave with a clearer view of where your business needs structure, what's ready to come off your plate, and how to lead without running yourself into the ground.
Meet Kacie
She is the proud owner of Blue Pineapple travel. Her agency is boutique in size and very sales focused. She recently spoke to the Travelland Collaborative about her experience with having an agency with a mix of Independent Contractors and Employees. She also just invested in a physical office space where her team and suppliers can gather. She serves on the luxury and expedition committees with Signature Travel Network. She is a fun-loving world traveller and a mom to identical twin boys. She has been to six of the seven continents (Australia, she is coming for you), and over 50 countries. She loves all things Disney related, and has a deep history with endurance sports. Her bachelors and masters degrees are in ecology, and then she spent years as a science teacher, so she loves destinations with a focus on nature and the outdoors.
