As Hallie and I celebrate our 10-year “work-iversary,” we have a lot to reflect on and to be grateful for. We take this week to define what a successful long-term working relationship looks like to us, to discuss what we have learned over the past 10 years, and to walk through a day in the life of Hallie! She also gives her advice to Force Multipliers everywhere when it comes to building trust with a Founder and being a part of the most important conversations in an organization. To join our 4-week live course The Founder & The Force Multiplier starting November 4, get your tickets here!
In this episode, you will learn about:
- The top things Hallie wishes she knew 10 years ago.
- Why our working relationship has lasted so well for so long and what you can take from it to your situation.
- Why you should hire people who are better than you.
- Why it’s okay not to wake up by 5 am even though many entrepreneurs and leaders will say otherwise.

[1:18] It’s important to pick employees that you will be okay sharing a large portion of your time with and who you can rely on and trust. It doesn’t mean you have to think exactly the same, but they should be a cultural fit first after you determine that their skill set also is a match.
[4:33] For Hallie, letting go of the outcome means trusting in the vision and being okay with whatever may come while keeping high values and expectations.
[7:40] You have to be willing to let go of the outcome to have the radical conversations that help the organization and the people working in it move forward and grow.
[14:10] A huge “aha” moment for Hallie over the past couple of years was that it’s okay to delegate and trade less responsibility for more time.
[15:46] Hallie’s week consists of a lot of meetings, calls, creating content, and a lot of time leading and guiding the team.
[23:49] One of the things that keep Hallie working at the organization for so long is the culture of autonomy and the work/life integration.
[27:31] It’s important to build in a little rest and relaxation every day.
[31:28] Be willing to be vulnerable around other people, and you will soften the room and make space for others to do the same.
[33:17] Hallie’s advice for Executive Assistants and Chiefs of Staff would be to invite yourself to the conversation, and she would encourage Executives to communicate as openly and honestly as they can.
