If you’ve ever hired someone thinking they were a total rockstar only to realize later that they were actually a walking disaster - oh, friend, you are not alone.
In addition to my coaching and clinical training biz for wellness practitioners, I have another ‘side gig’ that’s a brick and mortar business in Seattle. And as it turns out, finding the right people has been harder than I thought.
After going through eight employees in 11 months (yes, you read that right), I’ve learned some major lessons about leadership, hiring, and how NOT to let a business turn into a therapy session. 😅
In this episode, I’m peeling back the curtain on all the hiring and firing mistakes I’ve made in the past year, the wildest stories from the trenches, and how I’m finally stepping into the kind of leader this business actually needs.
Because running a business isn’t about making sure everyone likes you - it’s about setting your team up for success (without losing your sanity). 🙃
💡 Here’s What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✨ The biggest hiring red flags I totally ignored (and why I’ll never make these mistakes again)
✨ The hard truth about leadership (spoiler: being everyone’s bestie isn’t the answer)
