CHEERLEADING: THE NEW LEADERSHIP SPORT
Emerson Built That
06/23/20 • 8 min
Cheerleading is the new leadership sport. No pom poms required.
Through 60 Second Praises and Positive Reinforcement your staff will become multipliers. By praising your staff and rewarding them for exceptional performance, they will gain further confidence and in turn build their co-workers up as well. Spread the love!
Something an employee said to me once, stuck with me in my heart and mind. She expressed that my leadership created a warm and positive work environment where other women were building up other women rather than tearing them down through competition and gossip. This was done through Cheerleading Leadership. You don't need to be an athlete to partake in this type of leadership, you just need simple tactics and of course a few pieces of cake always went a long way in my company.

THE SWEET RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FOOD & BUSINESS
Emerson Built That
07/13/20 • 9 min
There is no recipe for a successful business. The ingredients are somewhat known but the measurements definitely vary.
The recipe for a company culture is as simple or as intricate as you make it, and the place where you build your success can truly be a delectable one.
How can food have a positive impact on your company culture? We will talk grab and go, sit and linger and celebratory toasts. I also offer my favorite ideas for foodie themed team builders: try the no bake bake challenge.
We will talk food as a way of 1. reward, 2. growing personal relationships at work, 3. building trust, and 4. growing collaboration. Food can bring your team together in a delicious way! I throw in my love of donuts and cupcakes too!

THE CUSTOMER IS RIGHT: BUT AT WHAT COST
Emerson Built That
06/13/20 • 9 min
The phrase, "the customer is always right" has legs. But not for the reasons we once thought. The customer is not only right because we want to put forth our best manners and promote positive client relations. The customer is also right because it is cheaper than them being wrong!
Being a "hothead" will get you nowhere. Don't get your entrepreneurial panties in a bunch. A quick look at active listening and how to claim your cool and decide who is in control. Because not being in control in your business is not cool.

EMPATHETIC LEADERSHIP: ALLOWING EMPLOYEES TO CRY PRETTY
Emerson Built That
07/07/20 • 9 min
We think all leaders should know how to lead in a time of crisis; however, that is only the case if they have at least this one critical element in their leadership toolbox, and that is empathy. You don't have to have gone through the exact experience as an employee to respect and care for their situation. Empathy is more than relating.
Takeaway from the episode how to be an empathetic leader by listening (silence is uncomfy but OK), read cues, and have tissues, lots and lots of tissues on hand.
Never let them see you cry (at work) is a thing of the past. Now leaders can be better prepared. Waterproof mascara and tissues are a great option for staff, but even better is knowing that your boss is there for you.

COWORKING: COME FOR THE SNACKS, STAY FOR THE COMMUNITY
Emerson Built That
09/23/20 • 33 min
Abbey Woodcock is a writer, creative and owner of a co-working space in beautiful upstate New York called Freelance Co-Op, which is an online and physical coworking space that connects creative freelancers with the resources they need to be professional business owners that are in control of their own story and their own success.
We talk about coworking, community, freelancing, and the business of creativity. She says, "a successful life is fueled by passion." I could not agree more.
I talk to Abbey in-depth about coworking spaces:
- and building community
- are more than just waffle stations and amazing lighting
- can help a freelancer build a business
- bringing back professionals to rural areas on big city salaries
- are not just found in big cities
We also discuss that there needs to be a marriage between business and creativity, because they are not mutually exclusive.
In this episode we also discuss how small towns can be test cases. Professionals can relocate to these towns or come back home, because of community. If there is a community of successful, motivated and creative people waiting for them, there is a reason to come and grow, infuse resources and cultivate new business. People who experiment and take risks will keep growing.
Abbey is also author of the book, What They Hear When You Write. A book where you can learn any client's voice and create authentic, effective copy. Plus she’s a chainsaw instructor.

We talk about passion projects:

Often people confuse passion projects with personal projects or creative projects. You can have a passion project doing good for others and making money, if you choose. There are 5 benefits of having a passion project according to Krayl, listen to the episode or read to learn more.
Krayl uses three words to describe her success: create, connect and celebrate. These words can be applied to so many businesses and passion projects. During this time, many of us are looking to create something that we can have as our own, connect with people either online or in-person, and want a reason to be happy about something.
She also created a masterclass with six modules to further spread and teach her message and help others find their passions: The Passion Project Pathway Program. In addition, she talks designing in-person and creating additional master classes for seasonal home décor.Home is more important than ever and we talk about which designers we fangirl over, plus HGTV is staple in our homes. Despite all the pretties online, nature is still a top source of inspiration for Krayl. She breathes life into this episode about digging deeper and finding a passion to inspire us.

Emerson Built That
08/03/20 • 33 min
I talk with Becca Goldberg, creative and founder of Suite Paperie. Becca is extremely talented and started her business at the young age of 23 when rent in NYC was the biggest expense to worry about. Becca owns a stationery company where she custom designs everything from wedding and party invitations to party favors to corporate packaging, and even art directs and styles cookbooks on the side.
She built her business on kindness and determination. From riffing with clients about whether to include spices on paper (true story) or nerding out over the slightest details. Principles and other things we talk about:
- Social media is a game changer
- Be scrappy enough to figure things out
- Stay hyper focused yet be able to jump from one thing to the next to get the juices flowing
- Check your ego at the door, and no job is too small in your company to do yourself
- Not be willing to fail
- Clients can become friends
- Business plans are not required
- Creative burnout is real and how to combat it
From being an entrepreneur in a high touch luxury business to using kindness as a tool to grow in every area of business, Becca has that spunk that is required of creativepreneurs.
