Today we’re doing a follow-up podcast from Episode 144: Behind the scenes of Our Executive Retreat. In that episode, we recapped and brought you behind the scenes of how we structured our team retreat, how we structure the backend of The Heart University and moving forward how we wanted to manage our team and daily operations within.
We recorded that episode immediately after our team retreat in Mexico, talking about everything we did but also what we PLANNED to do moving forward to implement things into The Heart. And at the end of the show, we asked you if you were interested in having us do a follow-up episode to see how we did this year at ACTUALLY implementing everything we set out to do after that retreat.
We’re back here at the end of the year in December to tell you how it’s been going. How we’ve done at staying on track with our goals, how we feel we’ve led our team as bosses, and implementing everything we wanted to move forward after our team retreat.
We’re baring it all and being 100% honest about how we’ve done in the year 2021. Prepare for a candid conversation showing you our behind-the-scenes of The Heart University.
It’s typically an hour and a half and we do them on Monday mornings. We don’t know how we ran a company without a team meeting. This CHANGED THE GAME on team connection, clarity, and focus! Here is the order of events:
These are long two hours meetings where we look at our yearly goals and what we need to accomplish in the next quarter to get there. We will usually have these within the first week or two of the new quarter. They have been so helpful to stay focused on our biggest rocks to move every three months!
Close to on track with everything so far! For us 2021 was a year of launching a lot. Instead of being a growing year of honing in on what we are good at and utilizing that, we launched a lot of new stuff. Since it was a big launch year social media couldn’t grow to what we thought. We’re not quite hitting our Instagram growth goals but we’ve also been focusing SO heavily on creating new courses and content plus a wedding and a baby added to the chaos so we’re okay with that!
Photo Major: help with student completion rate. This summer we did a live walk-through with our students through the course to help with that.
Instagram Major: we tried to format it differently to help improve completion and implementation. We wanted to create workshop-style worksheets, that would help you learn and do the principle in the video.
We shifted our podcast manager over into operations. After the retreat, she stopped just doing podcast managing things and stepped into a whole lot of operations with our courses, email list, a little bit with our conference too.
We’re prepping to shift our social media manager/community manager over into content creation and hiring someone else to fill her spot. We were thinking about doing it this year but decided to wait for next year.
It can be scary to make big changes but having the right people in the right seats is worth it.
We also let a couple of team members go and hired a couple of new people into those positions and we are BLOWN AWAY at the results!!! Focusing after the retreat on who is the right person in the right seat.
We learned this year that our company as a whole wasn’t coasting with the team we had but making sure people are in the right seat, the right fit, propelling the team forward.
This year was a refining year, realizing we were sitting on a goldmine of products that we could be utilized better.
This was just an honest touch base on how our year has gone and how we have done on our goals. And now we are getting excited for our 2022 retreat that will be taking place come January! Let us know if you like the behind-the-scenes of how we are doing and we can do more in the future.
