The Most Uncomfortable Conversations You’re Avoiding (That Are Costing You Thousands) — Part Two

Welcome to part 2 of our 3-part series where we try to get comfortable with the uncomfortable (and inevitable) discussions of a studio owner. 

In Episode 675: The Most Uncomfortable Conversations You're Avoiding (That Are Costing You Thousands), Coach Matt Hanton and I hit the topic of talks with your team. 

  • Hone your tone: always treat people relationally, not transactionally
  • Tell it like it is: be direct and candid; don’t sugarcoat or complicate
  • Try SBI: use the non-personal Situation, Behavior, Impact approach 
  • Crunch the numbers: share benchmarks and expenses for compensation convos
  • Normalize feedback: provide informal reviews and regular performance evals 

Ultimately, it’s all about respect, honesty and a mutual mission to support the business. Grab our practical recos in Episode 675. 

Catch you there.

With grit and gratitude,
Lisé
