Does this Sound familiar?

Hi, I am April Sabral, Founder of retailu.ca and your number one cheerleader! 


I worked my way up from a Part-Time Salesperson to VP and now own my own leadership development company.

  I've had the priviledge of working with brands such as Apple, Banana Republic, and Armani. Today, as a John C. Maxwell Coach and Forbes Contributor, I help managers become leaders who drive team success.  My secret? Positive communication.

I’m great at handling tough conversations and teaching others to do the same. I focus on bite-sized, actionable lessons—no fluff, just tools and strategies you can use right away.

The top reasons leaders call me today is for these three specific pieces of advice.

1. To help them hold their team accountable.
2. To have a performance conversation with a team member that they are stressed about, and not sure how to provide feedback while keeping them motivated.
3. How to get more work life balance and stop working 50-60 hours a week. You hired a manager but are still doing all the team management. Or are stuck without a manager and want to scale by hring the right one.

Can you relate? 

In my experience (and I have 25 years of it), the top reason teams are succesful is their direct supervisor. This means you the owner, or the manager you hired.


Stop throwing your managers in at the deep end and give them the training they need. 

Do any of these sound familiar?


  • Struggling with developing your team members? 
  • You do everything yourself and are getting burnt out?
  • Get nervous or anxious when you have to hold a performance conversation or give your team feedback?
  • You feel like you are kind of winging it?
  • Great talent keeps leaving your team for other opportunities, and you're not sure why?
  • You struggle with accountability in your business?
  • You have taken lots of leadership development courses, but still struggle to performance manage?
  • You wish someone would just give you a script and show you what to say to your team.
  • You hired a manager to manage your team, yet you'r still stuck managing and they are all coming to you to solve their problems.
