In the last episode, I shared why I believe it's important to incorporate personal development tools into your business and provided some tips to help you start incorporating them into your business. Now I am excited to sit down with Stacy Gissal and dive into a tool that is new to the business world that will help you understand your team members, how to bring out their best work, and how you work together as a team.

Her innovative process combines Human Design and Working Genius to understand how to work synergistically for team optimization. This approach provides strategic recommendations on how to structure the team you have, and as an added benefit, business teams gain awareness of any gaps that are stopping the business from reaching maximum profit and impact.

Stacy explains how you can use human design in your business to create a team that thrives working together and finds fulfillment in their work. Human Design is a tool that will help you learn how to get the most out of your team and be a better leader.

In the previous two episodes of the Back to the Basics series, we discussed establishing your mission and core values and creating and executing your vision. Now it's time to talk about the dreaded "M" word....meetings.

However, if you have a structure for how you have meetings with your team, they can be incredibly productive in moving things forward. In this episode, we're going to set you up for success by going over the six different types of meetings you should incorporate into your business and the suggested cadences of when, and how often, you should have each type.
