Come say hi! And now, on to the newsletter!

Running my first staff training at K&E this summer.

I've trained something like 20,000+ staff over the last 10+ years at camps. But this one hits just a bit different.

A lot of K&E staff are coming back. They’ve been there a while, and they know me, but this is my first time training them. It's awesome and tbh a bit scary.

And because running a camp means like 1K decisions a day (round number), having a staff who can make quick and confident decisions means a ton.

So how do I help staff make decisions faster?

Step 1 is making sure they don’t freeze up thinking every decision is permanent.

James Clear has this framework: Decisions are like hats, haircuts, and tattoos.

Hats = easy to change.
