Does any of this sound familiar?
- You know you need a strong team, but you don’t feel like you have the infrastructure to support it
- Constant questions are coming your way, pulling you in every direction
- Work-life balance has become a thing of the past, and your personal life is feeling the strain
If any of the above are true for you, your center might be in the Disordered Stage of the Pyramid of Excellence.
This is where you need to build communication and trust… but are also dealing with a lot of overwhelm. Everyone is busy, and slowing down feels impossible.
Fortunately, there’s some good news buried within that stress. For one, if you’ve recently entered the Disordered Stage, it means you’re growing. That’s something to celebrate!
More importantly, there are clear steps for moving forward.
In this week's podcast episode, we're continuing our deep dive into the Pyramid of Excellence by exploring the second phase of your center's journey through the pyramid: the Disordered Stage.
Join me for a conversation about:
- How to build trust, communication, and transparency within your team
- The impact of the Disordered Stage on self-care, personal relationships, and work-life balance
- What to do to stabilize operations in a sustainable way that allows you to avoid burnout and maintain school culture
- Steps to move to the next stage in the Pyramid
