Imagine having a team so aligned, so committed, that they stick with you for DECADES. How do you make that happen? It all starts with team onboarding.

When you do it right, your team onboarding system is what sets the foundation for high employee retention, productivity, and more freedom for you as the business owner.

In this episode, I’m giving you a behind-the-scenes look at the exact steps we use at HerBusiness to onboard new hires. (And P.S. Those hires have stuck around for years – some of our team has been with us for decades!)

Here’s what we’ll cover to improve your team onboarding:

-> Why onboarding is a game-changer for business success, and how it directly impactions employee retention, engagement, and your bottom line profits.

-> The types of teams and onboarding systems you need for your business, depending on if you’re a solopreneur, a micropreneur, or a full-scale entrepreneur.

-> The key steps to an effective onboarding system: job posting and hiring, interviewing to find the right fit, setting clear contracts, making the first week matter, and how critical those first few months are.

-> Avoiding common onboarding mistakes that so many business owners make – from overwhelming new hires with an information-download to throwing them in the deep end without a buoy.

-> Handing challenges with onboarding goes wrong, and how you can turn it into a learning opportunity that will strengthen your system.

Remember, onboarding is about so much more than having a smooth first week – it’s about creating a strong, long-lasting connection with the team that will support you for years.

One month ago, I climbed a mountain. Not once, not twice… But EIGHT times.

Dive into this episode to hear about my experience completing the 29029 Everesting Hike in Whistler, Canada.

I learned so much during this experience, about motivation, accountability, and the power of community.

In This Episode:

-> Hear about how I went from extreme hesitation to actually buying my ticket because of the power of community and accountability.

-> Let’s talk about why having a clear, specific goal matters in business – and how that goal transformed my life months before the hike.

-> Discover what happened on the trail that almost made me quit. And, what changed my mind.

-> How adaptability and rolling with the punches is essential to any challenge you face in life or business.

-> The importance of a support system and the role of a team from mentors and trainers to chiropractors, everyone on my team played a part.

-> Learn who I dedicated each of my eight ascents to and why this activity truly kept me going.

This hike was more than just a physical challenge – it was a journey and lesson in growth, resilience, and community. The lessons I learned on that mountain, from perseverance to accountability, are ones that I think we should all incorporate into our day-to-day lives.
