Quotes:
“Having a short staff retreat, it could be somewhere local, it could be a day thing, it could be an overnight thing that is just a drive away, or you could take the time to do one-on-one check-ins. Just get aligned with your instructors and get their pulse on the studio.” [Nick, 11:29]
“This time off is either a true rest because you are burnt out, or you are actually saying that you need to tackle a big item that you need all your focus on and you’re not going to let yourself get distracted with small day-to-day things.” [Nick, 18:16]
“Taking a seasonal break is not lazy, it is considered leadership. Done right, this pause can create space to repair, reflect and reignite your passion for the studio.” [19:48]
