283 - How To Build a Cohesive, High-Performing Team with Amy Christopherson

Описание: Do you get an uncomfortable flutter when you know you need to have a tricky chat with someone on your team?



Managing people - whether employees, contractors, or VAs - often means facing difficult conversations.



It's easy to worry you'll get it wrong, or that conflict will brew.



But what if you could handle these chats with confidence, clarity, and kindness… and actually strengthen your business in the process?



This week, I’m joined by Amy Christopherson, the brains behind Grounded HR, with over 15 years’ experience in people management and HR.



Amy’s passion is supporting small business owners to build thriving, connected teams, even if you're starting with just one hire.



She’s walked this path herself, growing her HR consultancy from a local business to serving clients nationwide.



Amy brings practical advice, plenty of real-world stories, and a whole lot of common sense.



In this episode we’re tackling some of the questions that can keep business owners up at night:




1.


Why does one underperforming team member have such a big impact on small businesses?




2.


What makes hiring so scary… and how can you reframe those worries to take action?




3.


How do you spot the difference between a great team member who needs time to get up to speed, and someone who just isn't the right fit?




4.


What can you do to stop small problems from turning into big ones, especially when it comes to communication?




5.


How do you approach those difficult conversations, so everyone walks away feeling respected - and your business actually gets stronger?






If you’ve ever hesitated to delegate, or struggled with giving feedback, you’re going to get loads of actionable ideas and reassurance here.



Amy’s advice proves that managing people doesn’t have to be something we dread.



Tune in to learn how to lead your team with more ease and fewer headaches!
