Conflict, hurt feeling, gossip, even bullying. Does it happen in your homeschool group Probably!
What can you do about it?
In today’s podcast Carol Topp interviews homeschool leader Anjoli Gallo. Anjoli runs a group in southern Florida and she shares insight into dealing with conflict. But she also shares some great tips on how she manages her time so leading a group doesn’t take over her life.
In this episode of the HomeschoolCPA podcast, Carol Topp and Anjoli discuss:
- Challenges she faced as a new leader
- What to do when members blame you!
- Merging two groups together
- How she limits the time she works on group stuff
- Dealing with conflict (get them alone to talk about it)
- Why being a leader is like being a school principal
- Remember: you don’t know what is going on in peoples’ lives
My favorite quote from Anjoli in this episode is “Don’t call them out in front of everybody, you just speak to them privately… they will appreciate you not embarrassing them.”
In the podcast, Carol mentioned the I Am a Homeschool Group Leader Facebook Group. It is a closed group (meaning you have to request to join) of 530 homeschool leaders from across the USA. You can join us here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/72534255742/
