PRA2508. The Messy Middle — Mastering Transition from Growth to Scale

You've achieved your goals — your firm is successful, and you've met many growth milestones. Growth has brought more clients, more team members, and more complexity. But instead of joy, or perhaps commingled with it, is a pervading sense of burnout. Exhaustion. You're in the “messy middle” — that challenging space between growing and scaling, where burnout often creeps in and clarity starts to fade. That place where many firms get stuck.

In this session, we will explore strategies and tools to navigate this pivotal phase. You will walk away with practical methods to scale your firm effectively, ensuring sustained growth without sacrificing your well-being or enthusiasm.

Learning Objectives:
