Making the leap from coach to supervisor is a tricky one. Before, you were on the same level as your coaching peers -- but now you're a supervisor and things are different. On this week's episode we dig into a few challenges of this situation, share our own experiences and offer a few helpful strategies to help you (or someone you know) navigate the transition from coach to supervisor!

Why does reflection matter for coaches, managers & owners? What role does it play and how can we facilitate it in our gyms with athletes, coaches and leadership? Then, we each share a key takeaway from 2023 (and why we picked it) -- ie. a cool idea, a lesson learned, a fav moment.

Let's be real... sometimes words are hard, and choosing the most "on brand" language isn't easy. So how do you help new (or not so new) employees choose the best words to use at work? The JiG crew talks about "workplace filters" and ways to get your staff onboard with being on brand.

As mentioned on the episode, Ali's joy this week was discovering Flown - an online co-working platform to help folks be more productive.

Coaches demonstrate the skills they teach all the time! But should they? Coach safety concerns? What if what they show is not necessarily proper technique? Is it best to train them how to demonstrate the technique, or find other ways to coach without the demonstration?
