It’s easy to forget, but necessary to remember!

You learned so many incredibly valuable lessons as a camp pro, especially when you were first starting out. So many of these lessons likely became second nature, your default if you will. Sometimes, however, we leave those lessons at camp at the end of each summer. Join us today as we remember some of those key lessons and chat about their relevance outside of summer camp.

Tune into this episode as we discuss:

• Taking time for you

• Everyone LOVES positive feedback

• Remember to have fun

• Relationships, relationships, relationships

• Your creative non-profit, cost-cutting brain will help in the for-profit world. 

• Be like the pipe cleaner

• Set boundaries with your team

• Make presentations interactive 

• You don’t have to work 100+ hours a week to be good at your job

• You can do hard things 

Your Hosts:
