Ep 73: Inside EMC: The Dream Team Training Retreat: Behind the Scenes

Robin sits down with Santina to break down the Dream Team Training Retreat, EMC's annual four-day team event held at a rented Airbnb outside the studio.

She walks through how each day serves a different purpose: Thursday's Holiday Celebration planning meeting, led start to finish by artistic director Elisabeth Simmons.

Friday's Director's Dinner, where Robin hands out awards and rethinks what a gift-giver she wants to be.

Saturday's full training day, including a live pivot after realizing the group needed more interaction; and Sunday's Rising Leaders Brunch, restructured into breakout groups so student teachers could share their own classroom strategies.

Robin also talks about Alli's path at EMC, hired for personality over skill set and given room to grow without micromanagement, and why she collects debrief feedback every year to change the format for next time.
