What happens after you hire someone? This is a phase of having a team that is not often talked about.

Luckily, we have an expert right here on the bizhicks team, and I am delighted to feature our team and

leadership coach, Shelly Warren, today. By the way, she also hosts our sister podcast stacking your team. If you have a team

member or you're thinking of hiring someone or hiring an independent contractor, be sure that you

have subscribed to stacking your team. In this conversation, Shelly reveals the things we all

need to think about in terms of planning for someone's first day,

training them in their new role, and how to give difficult feedback.

Plus, I sprinkle in my own experiences along the way, being a team member for other organizations,

and also onboarding here at BizChicks.

Let me just tell you, I have not always

done it well. Shelly has decades of experience in leadership positions and is an incredible teacher.

Before we dive in, may I welcome you to the Biz Chicks podcast. I'm your host, Natalie Eckdal.

I'm a business strategist, guacamole addict, out-of-the-box thinker, author, speaker, mama, MBA,

and CEO of BizChicks, Inc. Our business is dedicated to helping women entrepreneurs grow and scale their businesses

while retaining more profit and creating more time for their VIPs. My VIPs are my husband Mark

and our three children ages 5 to 17. I have a very full life running a home, family, and this dream business where we coach

and train high-performing women entrepreneurs. In case you're wondering, I don't have a perfect life

and don't claim to be superwoman. It all works because I have teams and this special thing

called coffee. I have help at home and in the business.

I always encourage women to get as much help as they can afford.

And may I remind you, my friend, that just because you can do something does not mean that you should.

I am so excited to welcome Shelley Warren, who is the chief people officer of BizChicks, Inc.
