Because if you're dealing with software, or let's say your tier one support or something, you really have to get up to speed on the software for the client calls you're taking.” – Karen Loftus “And so instead of having 5000 people in your target market that could potentially be interested in a job now you have the world.” – Karen Loftus   TIMESTAMPS [0:44] Meet Karen Loftus [01:59] Karen explains the employee lifecycle [04:25] First couple years of the employee's experience [07:39] Should you leave a job after a couple years [12:01] Questions to ask the interviewer or panel [16:04] Signs of a disengaged employee [18:22] Improving the company environment [21:26] Get engagement with a survey [25:33] The point along the process where employees get disengaged [27:24] Getting honest survey answers [32:22] Navigating the PIP plans [36:27] Common reasons employees leave [38:08] What challenge have you faced in your career and what did you do to overcome it [40:11] Connect with Karen   RESOURCES & RELEVANT LINKS Karen Loftus on Linkedin Chan With A Plan Max Chan on Social Media

Are you hearing or Listening to the world around you? Is there a difference? What do you hear with your eyes or your heart? Stacy and Cassey were joined this week by special guest, Karen Loftus, to decipher the word Listen. Speaking as a person that has managed congenital hearing loss her whole life, Karen feels that listing is a core skill and requires extreme focus.

https://www.linkedin.com/in/karenloftus/ (Karen Loftus) of https://karenloucreates.com (KarenLou Creates) shares that one of the primary reason employees like to work remotely is that many have picked up side hustles. Everyone talks about the benefits of cutting down the commute, flexibility, no one looking over your shoulder, and even flexibility in dress, but no one, particularly management, wants to acknowledge the second job. Karen tells us that a big reason why many professionals are taking up a second job is they don't find their primary job fulfilling. Karen is adamant is the last thing management should do is put out a formal policy outlawing second jobs. You need to figure out how to engage your employees which will mitigate the desire of staff to turn to other opportunities to feel fulfilled. Listen to the end for the details of Karen's gift for our listeners. Show highlights 05:16 The big reason many employees don't want to return to the office. 06:12 The side hustle is a real thing. 07:45 Why employees start side hustles. 09:16 How executives should respond. 11:58 Drive more revenues by acting like a media company in your marketing. 13:19 Work-work balance. 15:58 How you benefit from high levels of employee engagement. 21:25 Three steps to create an environment that will engage your employees. 24:23 Learn about Karen.

In this episode, Karen Loftus, a leadership change coach, and I sat down and chatted about the journey all businesses go through as they grow from one person to a team, how disengaged employees hurt your bottom line and the overall effect of the "great resignation" on the entrepreneurial community. Karen's corporate HR background and personal entrepreneurial journey give her huge insight into how it feels and her advice about transitioning yourself to a leader are to make sure you have a plan in place. Karen's thoughts on the subject of hiring employees "...especially as a solopreneur, you're going to probably go a virtual route initially, because you need somebody part-time for doing something, whether it be a task or a process, or a one-time thing. I mean, one of those things. And so really, the first step is kind of is really figuring out what is the work? And am I willing to give up that work? Right away? And if the answer is yes, then you go forward." Taking a risk and adding a VA or other team member feels great and when managed properly can help catapult your business growth in new ways. Just make sure you have all your ducks in a row so you and your new team can grow. Are you ready to find out what hiring can do for you?

Episode 179: The Production Classroom Have you considered putting on a play with an advanced class, during class time? Have you ever tried an in-class production and struggled with the process? In this podcast Karen Loftus highlights the steps she went through to create and implement The Production Classroom. Show Notes The Perils of Modern Education Drama Teacher Academy - The Production Classroom Episode Transcript Welcome to the Drama Teacher Podcast brought to you by Theatrefolk – the Drama teacher resource company. I'm Lindsay Price. Hello! I hope you're well. Thanks for listening! This is Episode 179 and you can find any links to this episode in the show notes which are at Theatrefolk.com/episode179. Today, we are talking about a great, great long-term project that you can do with an advanced class. This can take up a whole semester or even a whole year – depending on how long you have your students. The ultimate goal, I think, with a drama class is to have them move through the entire process of putting on a play – right from audition to performance. I know that this is something many teachers struggle with, right? How do you encourage accountability? What if students don't listen to their peers? What do the tech students do during rehearsals? We are talking about the production classroom and all of these questions – and more – are answered in today's conversation. So, let's get to it. LINDSAY: I am speaking with Karen Loftus. Hello, Karen! KAREN: Hello there! LINDSAY: Karen is a long-time friend to Theatrefolk. I was trying to remember when we first met. I know it was Florida and I know it was a conference and I think it was Jacksonville. Does that right a bell? KAREN: Yeah, I think it was, too. I do. LINDSAY: I think so, and I know that you had just done Circus in Olympus and I think that was, was that the first Theatrefolk play you did? KAREN: No, first Theatrefolk play for us is we did a really great night where we did Emotional Baggage and Tick Tock in the same night. We called it “A Night with Few Words” and it went on really, really well. LINDSAY: Oh, that's awesome. I'm not sure I knew that story. I knew that you had done those plays. Karen, you have had – I'm going to call it amazing – an amazing journey because, when we first met, you were a high school teacher in Florida and, now, you're in New York and you've had a variety of jobs but your job now – well, from the outside, it kind of sounds a little exciting, right? KAREN: It is! I'm an education production manager for Roundabout Theatre Company now in New York. I actually am managing a program where we're training technical – we're training students 18 to 24 in technical theatre. It's exciting because we're partnering with IATSE – International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, the union of theatre technicians – and they're working with us to help train these students. And so, it is, it's really exciting. LINDSAY: Yeah, I love that. I think, to be able to train them but also, like, actually in a theatre, they're able to – I'm assuming – actually apply the things that they're learning directly in production. KAREN: Yeah, they are. We normally will go to downtown spaces because there are union houses so there's situations there, but nothing beats hands-on. Nothing beats just getting right into it, you know? LINDSAY: Which is an amazing segue which was not planned but, as you were talking, I'm like, “Hey! Segue time!” to what we're going to talk about today. What we're going to talk about is the production classroom and the ability for you to actually – you, the listening you, I know who you are; I've met you, I know who you are – for you to be able to plan and implement and execute doing shows in your classroom – both onstage and off. Karen, how many of these did you put together in your time? KAREN: Wow! Well, we would do,

Episode 143: Student Stage Managers It's important to remember that theatre is not just an onstage activity. There are many roles that have be fulfilled offstage that are just as vital to a successful show. A student stage management team can be your best production ally.  But what if you don't have a lot of backstage experience? How do you encourage and develop student stage managers? Karen Loftus has spent time in the classroom and as a professional stage manager. She fully believes in the power of the student stage management team and she'll tell you how. Show Notes Episode 142: Theatre Safety Episode Transcript Welcome to TFP – The Theatrefolk Podcast – the place to be for Drama teachers, Drama students, and theatre educators everywhere. I'm Lindsay Price, resident playwright for Theatrefolk. Hello! I hope you're well. Thanks for listening. Welcome to Episode 143! You can find any links to this episode in the show notes at theatrefolk.com/episode143. We're going backstage for this episode and I have to confess – this is a big old confession – my background in high school theatre and in university with backstage-type things was minimal by choice and negative – I'm going to say it – by choice. I wanted to be onstage and not, you know, hidden in black in a backstage corner and being ignored by the actors. I had to take backstage roles a couple of times; I wasn't good at it and I think, most importantly – more importantly than not good at it – I didn't try to be good at it. I was backstage for one show in high school and I refused to wear blacks. I'm pretty sure I wore red pants for one and nobody cared and nobody commented but it's not good! You know, twenty-plus years later, I'm not so happy with that Lindsay Price and I think that I had to learn my lesson well and I certainly have because, if you want a successful show, you need a balance of onstage and off-stage roles. Theatre is not just an onstage activity. If you are a high school teacher do-it-all director with a small support system, growing a student stage management team can be your best production ally. But what if you don't have a lot of backstage experience? How do you encourage and develop student stage managers? Today, I'm talking to Karen Loftus. She has spent time in the classroom and also as a professional stage manager. She fully believes in the power of the student stage management team. Let's hear her tell you the why and the show. LINDSAY: Hello, Karen! KAREN: Hello! LINDSAY: How are you today? KAREN: I'm good! How are you? LINDSAY: I'm going to say I'm great. I got a nice day. I'm just going to go with that. KAREN: Yes. LINDSAY: Now, Karen and I, you and I have known each other… I was trying to think. I know exactly when we had our first conversation. It was at the FATE Conference in Jacksonville – face-to-face, anyway. KAREN: Yeah, definitely. We met. You were the superstar to my kids because we performed Emotional Baggage and they fought tooth and nail. They were just like, “This script is different! What is this?” and then they won a slot at state and [00:03:24 unclear] again so they were like, “Oh, it's great!” LINDSAY: That's right, then they totally switched and it went well. Weird is awesome! KAREN: Weird is awesome! Yeah, and then, you know, we were kind of Disney friends together as well. LINDSAY: Yes. KAREN: Then, I've been haunting you guys for years. LINDSAY: Karen wins one of the awards for most interesting background. I knew her as a high school drama teacher in Florida and then, also, working at Disneyworld which means much love – much, much love – but that was not your first career. When you started out, stage management was sort of your wheelhouse – it still is but that's where you started. KAREN: Yeah, definitely. LINDSAY: Why was that? What about stage management clicked for you? KAREN: Well, I started out,
