60: How to Create High Performing Teams

Niki Ramirez

When you think of an employee manual, you probably think of a rigorous handbook that weighs a ton. But, employee manuals have come a long way since then and can prove to be incredibly useful in our businesses. We often hear of CEO’s in the entrepreneurial world who are reluctant or even fearful of dealing with people issues. Rather than overcoming those fears, they keep them bottled up and stay in the chaotic mode of overwhelm far longer than they should. Little do they know that a lot of their problems can be solved with help from an employee manual that includes a few key HR policies. An employee manual can provide you with the confidence to answer your team’s questions while also empowering your team to discover their own answers inside its pages. On this episode of the podcast, Shelli Warren talks to Niki Ramirez about why an employee manual is one of your most powerful tools as a CEO. Niki is the Founder and Principal Consultant at HRAnswers.org, a firm dedicated to providing progressive, practical human resources and guidance that leaves an impact on small business success. Central to the work that Niki engages in is her philosophy that everything that is accomplished is through great employees; great employees led by confident, caring leaders. Over the past 20+ years, she has had the privilege of working with small and large businesses, in the public education and non-profit sectors, as well as in Native American tribal government and business enterprises. Niki has a strong desire to educate and empower entrepreneurs, small business leaders, and their employees to work in partnership to design and implement meaningful programs that drive the success of their organizations. Join Shelli and Niki on this podcast episode to uncover the basics as to why you need an employee manual!

36: Setting Expectations with Your Team

CEOs often wonder, “What can I do to stay more connected with my team’s daily activities?” They do not want to be a micromanager, but they want to be in touch with what’s happening on a day to day basis. These are issues that come up often in my strategy sessions. I get it. You’re busy. You know your role includes leading your team, but you’re just not sure what to do. You wonder if this means having to host more meetings or if there is another way? In this episode, I’m going to crack open my tool box once again to share a simple 3-step tip that will inspire your team to want to connect with you. AND at the same time, it will increase your capability to lead them. You can use this tool when you want to host a weekly touchpoint with your team members that is not as in depth as a quarterly one-to-one meeting, but still super effective. I’ll also share with you what to do with all the “stuff” you’re going to receive by using this tool.

42: Delegate Like a Pro

Ashley Hill

What were you doing when you were 25 years old? Sometimes all you need is drive, leadership skills, and a fresh outlook to create a successful business. This attitude can rally highly skilled people to you. Often, bringing new ways of working can shake things up and create a stronger, more positive team. In this episode of Stacking Your Team, we take a look at a workplace where the CEO may be a lot younger than you, but she’s motivating her entire team to collaborate with her to make it happen.  Ashley Hill is the CEO of Podium Sports Therapy &amp; Wellness Centre and a Certified Athletic Therapist, Registered Kinesiologist and Certified Sports First Responder who specializes in bracing. She’s created an incredible local presence with her multi-disciplinary clinic focused on helping people live a pain-free, active lifestyle. As an athlete herself, she knows the benefit of being surrounded by a strong team, whether that is at home, at work or on the playing field. She’s also recently launched another business with her sister, Arcand Party Tents, a tent, table and chair rental company in its first year.  Listen in to discover how not to let age become a barrier to your success and how to build a successful team.   In this episode, we discuss:   Creating a positive, collaborative work environment for your team to excel and grow How her background as a sports captain is helping her transform how she leads her team Shaking up your team dynamic to break down barriers between front and back office    Join the BizChix CommunityConnect With Ashley Hill  Website  LinkedIn Facebook Instagram  Books, Tools or Events Mentioned:   Reset Your Mindset: Silence Your Inner Mean Girl, Natalie Eckdahl  Other Links Mentioned:  Dragons Den – UK Shark Tank - US  BizChix Episodes Mentioned:   Episode 51 - Rolling out big compensation changes to your team – Micaela Zettel  Listen to The BizChix Podcast Work with Us:  One Day Mastermind GrowthChix Accelerator Program ProfitChix Mastermind CEOCHIX Mastermind Strategy Session  Join the BizChix Community This episode was first published at BizChix.com/syt-78.

78: Stacking your Local Service Based Team with Ashley Hill

Joyce Durst

We often hear about women wanting to reach the holy grail of 7 figures, but why stop there? Thinking small and holding back from introducing innovative ideas into their business because of the fear of hiring specialized team members and then having to lead them is a gate many women business owners are reluctant to walk through. Instead, they stay stuck, stay safe and the business stalls. In this episode, our guest, Joyce Durst of Growth Acceleration Partners is going to show us that small business owners can lead team members with unique technical skills and lead them well. She has 30 years of software industry experience and manages a multi-national team of about 300 employees, so she really knows what she’s talking about.
