In this episode, Mark Loveday is joined by Michael Surr to discuss what a Special Education Needs Coordinator (SENCO) does and how their role is very much planning rather than delivering the provision.  Michael discusses the role everybody has to play in supporting all children and focuses on the importance of collaboration as well as the effective role teaching assistants have to play.  Practitioners may be interested by evaluating the impact of support staff and the challenges and strategies that everyone can face, to help them better understand the SENCO role. 

This episode is in response to a great question: How do you support staff through mindset shifts?Whether you're leading a team or just quietly modelling a new way of doing things, this episode is for you. IN THIS EPISODE, I DISCUSS:Why change feels so threatening – and what's really underneath the resistanceHow to lead culture change without lecturing or pushingWhy the most resistant staff are often just burnt outWhat actually helps shift mindsets: stories, modelling, and showing what's possibleThis work doesn't start with policy. It starts with presence.You don't need to change everyone's mind overnight. You just need to hold your ground, model what's possible, and lead with calm consistency. That quiet modelling? That's what creates the ripple effect.Have a question, comment, or just want to say hello? Drop us a text!RESOURCES AND MORE SUPPORT: Shop all resources Join The Behaviour Club My book!

Dr. Peter Weinstein explores the feasibility of implementing a production-based compensation model for veterinary support staff with Cone of Shame host, Dr. Andy Roark. They touch on the potential benefits and drawbacks of this approach, discussing how it might improve job satisfaction, retention, and appreciation for technicians, assistants, and other support roles. Dr. Weinstein argues that while veterinarians benefit directly from production-based pay, the staff executing the bulk of the work often remain on fixed salaries, creating a disconnect in compensation fairness. The conversation also touches on broader topics such as profit-sharing and the overall drive to enhance workplace morale and productivity. They examine whether tying wages to service delivery could equitably distribute earnings and reflect individual contributions more accurately, potentially revolutionizing compensation structures in veterinary practices.

As a solopreneur (think experts like coaches or consultants), it is essential to delegate so you can concentrate on tasks that uniquely require your expertise.  By hiring support staff, even on a part-time or hourly basis, you can free up time for more valuable tasks and help prevent burnout. Common first hires include virtual assistants or financial managers.  There's also tremendous value in investing in your personal brand, building your email list, outsourcing your website, and engaging often with your audience. Ultimately, we can't overstress the importance of leveraging support to maximize efficiency and business success. Quotes “Many of our clients fall into this category where we wouldn't necessarily call them small business owners, they are small business owners, but they're really more of a business of one person, they are the subject matter expert. And they have an executive assistant or an admin person or a marketing person or a VA, helping them grow their business.” “What I hear most commonly is hiring someone to manage the financial aspect of the business.” “Some other common activities are scheduling, marketing, any support around sales, and any sort of administrative task that doesn't have to be completed by that subject matter expert.” “A good way to figure out what you can let go of is just making a list of what you do every single day for about two weeks, and then identifying the things that you're doing that only you can do. But also identifying the things that you've done, you look over those past few weeks, that you think somebody else could do, and lump those tasks together, and assign those to somebody else.  “Especially when you're first starting your business of, again, subject matter expert, you're doing way more than you need to be doing until you get off the ground, very common.”  “The second you can hire someone and get some of those tasks off your list that can be done by someone else, the better. Because you can monetize the work that you're doing, you know, at a much higher rate than some of the more lower level tasks that you might be engaging in.” “People don't realize all the tasks that they have to do to launch their business and grow their business.” “You can get burned out by doing all the things.” “Focusing on the thing that you are excellent at is most important because that tends to fill people up when you're working in your strengths, that tends to energize you and make you excited about your work.” “It's tricky at the beginning, at the very beginning, because you may not have a lot of money to invest in your infrastructure.”  “It always kills me to see people trying to build their own website, for example, when they don't really have the skills to do that. And they get so frustrated, and they end up with a result that is truly lackluster, and doesn't reflect well on them.” “Two things I did not do from the beginning, and that I now make sure every client does and one is list build. That was years before we actually added an opt in to our website, years… And the second thing is that visibility piece. We've had our business for many years, and it's really just been in the last couple of years, through the podcast and through really beefing up our social media, mine in particular this year, where I'm making a concerted effort to become more visible and be the face of the brand.” Links mentioned in this episode: The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich by Tim Ferris: https://a.co/d/8QzJ9Bm

If you talk about how to improve education in the First State, one topic you'll surely hear about is better pay for teachers and other support staff working on the frontlines in schools.Delaware is making strides in this area, most recently through the work of the Public Education Compensation Committee and the recommendations it delivered to Gov. John Carney and the General Assembly. However, as Carney and lawmakers move to enact those recommendations, one group may be left behind, at least for now: IT specialists.This week, Delaware Public Media's Sarah Petrowich examines IT funding for First State schools and how it's being addressed.

Welcome back to the Supporting Champions Podcast. Today, we're exploring the transformative power of focusing on solutions, not problems, with the insightful Paul Z Jackson. From his early days as a comedy writer and improvisation teacher to becoming a pivotal figure in the world of applied improvisation, Paul's journey is as fascinating as it is varied. His work, especially the acclaimed book 'The Solutions Focus,' co-authored with Mark McKergow, has been a beacon for many, including myself, since its first impact on me back in 2011. Paul's approach is simple yet revolutionary: Don't fix what isn't broken, find what works and do more of it, and if something doesn't work, try something else. It's about making positive changes by identifying and amplifying useful change, recognizing that detailed problem analysis often doesn't lead to solutions. This mindset shift from a problem focus to a solutions focus can stir optimism, hope, and ambition, changing the way we tackle challenges in sports, business, and life. In our discussion, Paul delves into how this approach applies across various contexts, from coaching athletes to enhancing team dynamics. He shares insights on how to help people improvise and adapt, drawing on his extensive background in comedy and improvisation. We also touch on the importance of recognizing the small changes that signal big progress and staying 'solutions focused' rather than 'solutions forced.' Paul's work with the Applied Improvisation Network and The Improvisation Academy further underscores his belief in the power of improvisation as a skill for life and business, teaching us to make use of what's there and to embrace the possibilities of the past, present, and future.

In this episode I speak to Meike Bartels, a renowned researcher in wellbeing and happiness. Meike's research work uncovers the layers that contribute to our sense of fulfilment, exploring how genetics, environment, and personal habits intertwine to shape our happiness. In our conversation, Meike highlights that wellbeing is an evolving state, influenced by positive surroundings and actions. We discuss the differences between eudemonic and hedonic wellbeing, the genetic basis of happiness, and the essential balance between work and life for maintaining our wellbeing. Meike provides intriguing insights into the genetic factors that account for about 40% of the variation in happiness across populations, opening up discussions about personalised approaches to enhancing wellbeing. We also cover the 'exposome' concept, illustrating how a wide range of external factors from birth affects our growth and happiness. A key focus of our discussion is the significance of acknowledging individual preferences in both life and work. Meike advocates for environments that cater to personal genetic makeup for better wellbeing and stresses the importance of adapting work settings to meet employees' unique needs. We also explore the role of physical activity in mental health, discussing the benefits of finding enjoyable physical activities and the concepts of 'effort forcing' and achieving a flow state for optimal performance and satisfaction. I really enjoyed the conversation. Meike is not surprisingly a sunny person, but at the same time straightforward in her advice about making active choices in our lives to enhance our happiness.
