Want to Start a Podcast? We are celebrating a birthday! This podcast has been on the air for a whole year. In this episode, I am answering your questions about what to expect when starting and leveraging a podcast for your business. I’m giving you my lessons learned along with practical advice if you are considering starting a podcast. I’m answering common questions I get about podcasting, including monetization, time commitment, and how to come up with a year of content ideas. ___ Key Points covered in this episode: Most podcasts start strong and fail fast: Did you know? Most podcasts don’t go beyond three episodes, and only 11% reach 50 episodes. This podcast is at episode 45, which places it in a select group of consistently published content. There is still so much opportunity in this space but you need to know what to expect and plan for it. How do you make money podcasting?: Although this podcast is not monetized, I discuss potential revenue streams such as sponsorships and affiliate marketing. However, I want to share the non-monetary benefits I see from this platform. Solo or Guest Episodes? Design your show style to meet your business goals. I share specific thoughts around guest experts, solo or client episodes. Podcasting allows business owners to build relationships and trust with potential clients by sharing their knowledge and expertise. It is an effective platform for showcasing your personality and approach before formal client interactions. Where do you come up with content ideas?: I share 3 key ways that I come up with content and how I keep it organized using very simple systems. Client conversations and themes Other podcasts Business or personal development books How much time does it take to record a podcast each week?: Podcasting is not a quick process—between recording, editing, and marketing, it can take hours to produce a single episode. As with any other part of your business, it is important to create systems and processes for podcasting to ensure you are getting the most benefit. ___ Work with Kari: Anchored Leadership Academy Private Business and Leadership Coaching Free resources: Discover your Leadership Style Quiz Contact Kari Lotzien | Be the Anchor: Website: BeTheAnchor.ca Facebook: BeTheAnchorLtd Instagram: BeTheAnchor.ca Linked In: Kari Lotzien Contact Astronomic Audio: Website: AstronomicAudio.ca…

In this week’s episode, I am diving into the challenging topic of accountability within small business. We are discussing practical strategies for leaders to not only hold their teams accountable but also themselves, ensuring clarity and fostering responsibility in the workplace. Key Points: Leading by Example: Let’s talk about the importance of leaders holding themselves accountable before expecting the same from their teams. Accountability begins with fulfilling your own commitments and setting a standard through consistent follow-through. Clarity in Delegation: Accountability starts with clear communication. Leaders must ensure that team members fully understand what tasks they are responsible for, the deadlines they need to meet, and the specific expectations of the role. Vague instructions lead to confusion, so clarity is key. Addressing Missed Accountability: How do leaders address missed deadlines or targets in a calm and constructive way. Using frameworks like the Situation-Behavior-Impact (SBI) model, leaders can provide feedback without creating defensiveness, while maintaining the importance of meeting set goals.
