As a small business owner, I wear many hats: owner, manager, teacher, cleaning person, website builder, IT department, graphic designer, marketer, social media manager, accountant…the list goes on!
I wear many hats, but I’ve also had - & still have - awesome support.
From my husband and co-owner, Charlie.
From our assistant manager, Elisabeth.
From our teachers & students who make hOMetown special.
However, as we continue to grow our studio, class schedule, & teaching staff, we could definitely use some more help to meet our community’s needs!
Are you someone who would love to lend a hand with our social media & marketing in exchange for unlimited yoga & workshops?
Since my recent diagnosis, I have been leaning heavily into teamwork. Sometimes, as a recovering perfectionist, the urge is to want to do things yourself…
“It’ll take less time to just do the thing myself than showing someone else how to do it…”
“It’ll be done just the way I want it if I do it myself…”
In the short term, this feels efficient. In the long term, it’s neither efficient nor nourishing.
It burns you out from both ends & it robs others of the opportunity to contribute.
It squanders the opportunity to truly foster community & teamwork.
These past few weeks have forced me to explore new layers of what it means to be a leader…
Being a good leader isn’t doing everything yourself. (I knew this, but just because you know something, cognitively, doesn’t mean you actually put it into practice 😉)
It is witnessing others’ unique abilities & then allowing them the opportunity to explore & share those abilities.
It is in delegating tasks.
It is in empowering others.
And by empowering others, the group empowers itself. It is a cycle of giving and receiving.
I am actively opening myself up to reciprocity 💕
I am actively opening myself up to to receiving support just as much as I give it 💕
That’s what makes hOMetown what it is — not one person doing it all, but many people showing up, sharing their gifts, and growing together.
If this speaks to you, and you’d love to bring your creativity to our team in exchange for unlimited yoga and workshops, we’d love to hear from you!
