One of the greatest struggles we all have is finding and/or equipping team members to lead and to care about our businesses the same way we do as the owner or key leader. We become the ultimate choke point in our business as we attempt to own everything. We find ourselves exhausted, distracted and likely existing in some form of extreme survival mode. Instead of being laser focused on building something meaningful. By establishing a coaching culture we can intentionally design a business that has succession planning and leadership development built right into it's DNA. We can create an environment where each of our team members is playing an engaged role in equipping and supporting those around them. Our employees develop leadership and technical competency as they move through the ranks and in turn share that with those a few steps behind them in their journey. During this episode we explore what creating a coaching culture looks like and how we can begin taking the steps to create this in our own businesses immediately. Thanks for listening!

As leaders we all have to fight the pull to be the smartest person in the room. Bringing our experience, insights and training to the table is critical however having the battle patience to ask good questions and silicate team participation is even more vital. Like many of you, Chris and I have made the mistake of taking over meetings or talking at our teams instead of leading an engaging conversation. When we do this we often end up hurting our teams and ultimately preventing our companies from fully experiencing the true value of diversity and accumulative perspectives our teams are capable of.

In this show, Chris and Brandon talk technician training and development. How do we invest in our technician's growth, if we know they're likely to leave in just a couple years? What is the role of certifications in a tech's development? We also spent time talking about the struggle to hire techs in the first place, as well as how to keep the door open for techs to return back to your company at some point. Sometime's people need to leave to chase higher pay or explore a new opportunity. If we part on good terms and stay connected we potentially have an opportunity to work with them again in the future.

Jenny Vandehey is the Vice President of Culture and Experience at First Onsite, one of the largest disaster restoration brands in the world. She is also a long time branding and marketing executive. And a doula (google it). And an herbalist. I was curious to know more about Jenny's role at First Onsite. It's a unique title/role in our industry, and I really admire them for making. And you can tell they take culture and experience seriously when you hear Jenny talk about the different initiatives they're executing on. But just in case you're thinking this convo may be too "big corporate"- virtually all of the stuff they're implementing and trying at a large scale, totally translates into a small business as well. It's really about shifting our thinking, and looking at the business from a different angle, I think. Enjoy, and as always, let us know what you think. - Chris Thanks for listening!
