RESACON 2026 Bonus Session - Alisa Sparks July 23 | 3 pm – 5 pm The First 90 Days: How to Hire, Onboard, and Lead with Intention

Limited Seating | Pre-Conference in-person Session 

REQUIRES A GENERAL ADMISSION TICKET TO ATTEND 

Hiring your first team member, or your next one, is rarely the hardest part. Leading them well during the first 90 days is where success or failure is decided.

Many staging business owners hire because demand increases, schedules become overwhelming, or burnout starts to creep in. But without clear expectations, structured onboarding, and intentional leadership, new hires often struggle to integrate into the business, leading to miscommunication, inconsistent performance, and costly turnover.

In this highly RESACON bonus session, Alisa Sparks walks attendees through the most critical phase of team development: the first 90 days. Drawing from hands-on experience leading teams in fast-paced staging environments, she breaks down how intentional hiring, structured onboarding, and consistent leadership practices create stronger teams and reduce long-term staffing challenges.

Attendees will learn how to identify strong candidates before day one, design onboarding experiences that build confidence and clarity, and implement structured feedback systems that support performance and accountability.

Participants will leave with clear systems, repeatable frameworks, and leadership tools that help new hires succeed faster and strengthen team culture from the very beginning.

Because strong teams are not built by chance. They are built through intentional leadership during the moments that matter most.
