[Easemakers Podcast E38] Building strong systems of communication and creating a legacy of knowledge

Phoebe Maddrell is a freelance lifestyle manager and estate management consultant based in the UK. After getting her start in guest homes, traveling the world on superyachts, and working in a range of different estates, she’s seen what works well for household staff (and what doesn’t).

Now, she helps clients set up estate management systems that streamline household operations and help teams of private service professionals communicate effectively.

In a new episode of the Easemakers Podcast, Phoebe shares her tips for building strong systems of communication for your household staff, and why she believes in creating a “legacy of knowledge” — for your team, your principals, your successor, and (perhaps most importantly) your future self.

Tune in to hear:

• The impact of better communications among household staff
• How to get household staff and principals on board with new household management tools and systems
• Why taking a few minutes to document everything in an estate management software in real time will help your team save hours in the long run
