Episode notes
This week's episode is a little different… We're giving you a behind-the-scenes sneak peek inside a recent live coaching call from the Dance Principles United Tribe, and we're talking about something that can make or break your studio: Your team. Most studio owners spend all their time worrying about marketing, enrolments, comps, concerts, broken toilets… and staff becomes the "I'll deal with that later" category. But staff isn't the side issue. It's the whole game. In this episode, Amanda & Bec dive into: Removing financial anxiety from your teachers (and why paying on time is non-negotiable) Why unclear expectations create resentment (on both sides) The power of regular check-ins and staff appraisals How to give feedback without it becoming awkward or scary Why upskilling your team is your responsibility How to align staff with your studio values What to do when classes aren't growing The leadership mindset shift that changes everything This is honest, practical, no-fluff leadership advice - especially for studio owners who never actually planned on becoming "the boss"… but here we are.
