How to Avoid Team Drama

By Leave a Comment

save your dramaEver feel like you’re a drama magnet?

If it seems you’re always having to deal with drama within your team, guess what? It’s because you allow it.

You may not be able to control drama. But you can control what you allow yourself and your team members to be expose to.

Not everything said needs a verbal response. Silence is a response.

I know it’s sometimes easier said than done, especially if you feel you or your version of events have been inaccurately portrayed. But you can be the bigger person if you simply don’t engage.

As a leader of a team you also have a responsibility to the greater good. If you have a couple of consultants who feel it necessary to bring drama around others on your team, you’re allowing a negative work environment.

Imagine if a brand new consultant just joined, then joined our team page only to see a hornet’s nest of drama among consultants? Awk! That new person would be thinking “What did I just get myself into?”

Sometimes being a leader requires you to make some unpopular decisions. Remember: Think of the greater good.

This llama doesn’t want your drama.

Out of Compliance

Confused about what you can and can’t do with marketing your Scentsy business?

Can Scentsy consultants On a regular basis I get messages from Scentsy consultants asking if something is OOC (Out of Compliance).

Let me be clear, I am not the compliance department, and I am not the one who should be making final decisions or interpretations on your behavior.

That said, I used to be a federal compliance officer, I enjoy policies and procedures (I know, right?) and I have a pretty good handle on the ins and outs of all things Scentsy, since I’ve been around 10 years. I actually read them word for word and question anything I think contradicts itself.

Because of that lovely reputation I’ve acquired over the decade, I often have people privately send me posts to get my take on it – for the purpose of doing it themselves, or not doing it and possibly reporting it to the powers that be.

I cannot stress enough, if you take just ONE thing away from this post, it’s this:

Do not use what others are posting online as your example if you can post it too.

Advice from the Australian Bake Off

By Leave a Comment

monique australian bake offWe all face challenges, but how we deal with them determines the outcome

I admit it, I’m addicted to reality baking shows on TV.

I watched as many episodes of the Great British Bake Off as was available on YouTube. Now I’m on Season 1 of the the Great Australian Bake Off. 

My European and Australian accents are coming right along. They are, in the words of Paul Hollywood, “well done!”

Even the best bakers can have a bad day. Baking is a science. So if some element is off, even the slightest, the result can be a flop.

Australian contestant, home baker Monique Bowley was under the gun to finish her dessert during a “technical challenge” when it was not going as planned. When questioned about the challenges she was experiencing with that particular bake, she responded:

There’s no option at this point, but to push on. – Monique Bowley

How true is that in life?

Whether you’re facing difficulties in your personal life, or your business seems to be hitting all sorts of roadblocks, push on.

What’s the alternative? You could quit. You could focus on what isn’t going right. You could get derailed by all the anger, frustrations and disappoints you’re feeling; or you could push on.

Which will you choose?

If you’ll excuse me, I must go check on my biscuits now. They’re quite lovely indeed. (Biscuits in EU and AU is what Americans call cookies)

Former Scentsy Consultants: Come Back For Free

Rejoin ScentsyIf you used to be a Scentsy consultant but voluntarily canceled your account or were canceled due to inactivity for prolonged periods of time, did you know that you may reactivate your account at no cost?

You can request that your account be reinstated so you can start selling again, now is a great time to do that as we get into the holiday gift giving season.

There’s no new starter kit to purchase. Only one stater kit per lifetime is permitted, although you merely order whatever business supplies you think you may need from our Scentsy Family Store.

When you request a reinstatement you must notify them who you want as a sponsor, regardless of who you had originally.

If you’re happy with that person, I encourage you to go back with that person, especially if you were formerly on our team, Abundant Prosperity. 🙂

However, if you had a different sponsor originally, and you’d like a fresh start, I’d be happy to mentor you. Just give them my name, Laurie Ayers and ID number, 505.

A couple things to consider that may have changed since you left: [Read more…] about Former Scentsy Consultants: Give it Another Look
