Season 2, Episode 27

Listen on Spotify | Apple Music

We're talking welcoming staff and setting them up for success! When host EmJ sits down with Kelly Schuna and Sami Eron to talk what we're taking back from Tri-State, Kelly puts it best, "oh, this is, this is how my staff might feel day two of content." The group talk about what they can incorporate into their camps after experiencing the largest camp conference in the world for the first time!

If you're looking for the small ways we add safety, inclusion, and fun into staff training, this pod is for you. 

Producer EmJ's Takeaways:

  1. More authors should bold the takeaways in their own books. 

  2. How you feel after a conference can mirror how your staff feel after your trainings. This goes for social battery, energy, and mental capacity to learn. 

  3. How can we celebrate our first time staff in the way that Tri-State "rang the bell" for their first-time attendees?
