BONUS CONTENT: Two-Minute Touchpoints

Team building can happen in the smallest of time windows. Just as we ask our instructors to check in with their members and to remember and acknowledge things about them, we should be doing the same with our instructor teams. You would be surprised to see how far a quick check in with a team member can go in terms of building a rapport with them and thus working toward building a team with more buy in as a whole. Listen in to learn different ways to touch base and how impactful that little bit of time can be.

BONUS CONTENT: What's Your Director WHY?

We have looked at the instructor why in prior episodes, and many directors still work as instructors too, so it is important to be connected to that why. But what about your director why? With all of the demands of leadership and working with a crew of part-time staff who come and go at different times and have different demeanors, why bother? If you want to get past the rush of January and lead through the rest of your year, working from your why is the first step.

BONUS EPISODE: Leading from the Front

If we are not moving forward, we are falling behind. As cliche as it may be, it is true. Herein lies the challenge for directors and managers today. It is not our grandmother's GX but it also still very much is our grandmother's GX, as we have more active aging participants in GX than ever before. Listen in to learn how to best position yourself to accommodate those who have been coming for decades and also those just aging in to GX and have different needs and goals.

Temporada 1

BONUS CONTENT: Teambuilding through Transparency

Welcome to our first bonus episode, mainly directed to Group Exercise Mangers/Directors. Listen in to learn the importance of transparency in creating a positive team culture. If we can't create trust from the bottom up with our team, then we don't have a team. Learn some strategies that have worked to help create a thriving team who feels valued, feels like they can come speak openly and honestly, and feels like they and their ideas matter.

BONUS CONTENT: Know Your Sh*t Manager Edition

You think you know your department, but do you really KNOW your department. From your individual teammates to specific data points, this episode focuses on how knowing your sh*t within your department helps you build a better rapport with your team and helps you gain the respect and dollar of the leadership above you to invest in your department. Listen up to learn keys to committing small things to mind to create big impacts.

BONUS CONTENT: Catch Them Doing the RIGHT Thing

In a world where everyone focuses on what's wrong, let's take the time for focus on what is right! Taking the time to acknowledge a job well done not only spreads positivity but also helps create connection and rapport among you and your team. The more we reinforce the good and let them know we truly see them the more open our communication can be and the more cohesive of a team we can build.

BONUS CONTENT: Accountability

One of the easiest things to find slipping further from our control is accountability among our team. We are pulled in so many ways that we don't worry about this other little thing. But then that other little thing continues to happen and other little things do, and the glass starts to shatter. Listen in to learn about setting expectations; communicating clearly, concisely and consistently with your team; and holding people accountable equally.

BONUS CONTENT: Lead by Example

It's a cliche, but the best way to lead is by example. Talk the talk. Walk the walk. Inspect what you expect. Leading a team means executing the tasks you ask of your team in an exemplary manner. If you are teaching, you crush your classes. If you are walking the club, you are tidying up anything out of place. You are saying hi as you pass people. You are engaging with members and staff. Listen in to learn more about the trickle down effects of leading by example, and the detriments caused by not doing so.
