In another instalment of 'Solving Your Studio', this episode tackles one of the trickiest parts of running a studio—managing your team—with the perfect blend of heart, humour, and a sprinkle of tough love. From those difficult "it's not you, it's us" conversations to curating a culture where your teachers practically skip into the studio, we’ve got you covered.
Ever wondered how to gracefully let go of team members without leaving their self-esteem in a puddle on the floor?
Or how to get everyone on the same page without feeling like you’re herding cats? Well, enter [Studio]HQ, a magical tool from our Studio Evolution program that takes the guesswork out of team communication, turning scattered chaos into smooth coordination.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How to lovingly and clearly let someone go without burning bridges (or dampening their sparkle).
- The secret sauce to setting up communication systems that make your team feel like a well-oiled machine instead of a bunch of spinning plates.
- How to create a team culture that’s so good, your teachers will be doing happy dances on their way into the studio—no matter how many hours they’re working!
- Tips for dealing with those “crunchy” moments (yes, like crunchy peanut butter) when organising covers and keeping everyone accountable.
Whether you’re on a mission to turn your team dynamics from crunchy to smooth or simply want to create more ease and joy in your leadership, this episode is full of real-talk and actionable insights to help you do just that.
Let's work on your team game! Tune in and get ready to feel the magic.
