Stop running on memory. Start running on systems.
Tired of putting out the same fires over and over? Frustrated when your team isn’t on the same page, or when results swing wildly depending on who’s doing the work? This on-demand webinar with Coach Carmen – award-winning nonprofit leader, founder of Mission Accomplished Transition Services, and consultant to entrepreneurs building well-organized businesses — gives you the foundation you need to build SOPs that actually get followed.
Whether you’re refining procedures you already have or starting from a blank page, you’ll walk away with a clear framework, real-world examples, and a guided exercise to begin building (or sharpening) your own SOP before the session even ends.
Who this is for:
- Entrepreneurs and small business owners who feel like everything depends on them.
- Nonprofit and program leaders managing teams, events, or recurring programs.
- Creatives in fashion, beauty, design, and related fields who want structure without losing their spark.
- Anyone four months or seventeen years into business who has never formally documented how things get done.
What’s covered:
- What an SOP actually is and how it’s different from a policy.
- The six essential parts of every effective SOP, including how to assign clear ownership so team members stop stepping on each other’s toes.
- How SOPs reduce costs, increase productivity, and create the consistency that turns first-time customers into repeat ones.
- Real-world examples of SOPs in action (you’ll never look at an IKEA manual or a recipe the same way again).
- How flowcharts and checklists fit alongside your written procedures.
- A full walkthrough of a sample event SOP you can adapt for your own business.
- A built-in 20-minute exercise to start drafting or refining your own SOP.
- What goes wrong when you skip SOPs — and how to guide your team through the implementation phase.
What you’ll walk away with:
- A clear understanding of what makes an SOP work (and what makes one collect dust).
- A draft or refined outline of an SOP for your own business or program.
- A repeatable framework you can apply to every process you document going forward.
- The confidence to lead your team through change without the chaos.
