12: How We Dealt with the Sudden Loss of a Team Member

Something we don't often talk about is loss. As we grow and stack our teams, it is inevitable that team members will come and go. How do we, as CEOs of our businesses, deal with the sudden loss of a team member? Natalie Eckdahl returns to join Shelli on this episode to share her story of a sudden loss on her BizChix team. Natalie reveals a tragic loss she experienced on her team, and her key takeaways from the experience. Shelli also has some insights about working through a recovery plan and supporting your business and team members through that transition. As with other aspects of life, in dealing with the loss of a team member, it is important to hold a space for the emotions you and your team will feel, and finding the courage and resources to do what needs to be done to support everyone involved.
