What are the things that get in the way of taking action?
What are the things that are affecting you with your decision-making?
What happens when something is not in alignment with your vision?

We talk about:
Being open to change
Taking the time to reflect and become aware of the things you may or may not be doing

Episode #137: Beyond Enchantment – The Alchemy of Engage, Educate, Empower

The concept of these 3 E’s is something we have spoken about on our podcast before. When you have a new client enter your treatment room, this is your time to shine! This is where you make them feel like they have come to the right place to resolve their issue and make them wonder how they ever went to another therapist before that didn’t follow the 3 E’s philosophy.  
ENGAGE with your client by making a strong initial impression and by forming a genuine connection with them. 
EDUCATE your client. Not only is this more fun, but your results will also be much better!  Who wants to treat someone who just wants to lie there and says “fix me?".
By making a strong connection with your client, and by educating them on their current status and how you plan on restoring their health together as a team, you are EMPOWERING them!

Episode #134: Mastering Non-Verbal Communication – Tips and Techniques for Effective Interactions

93% of communication is nonverbal.
Both a blessing and a curse of our trade is that we tend to observe how people move, hold themselves, and speak all the time, even outside of our offices. All these cues are keys to getting a good reading of where a person is at, how they’re living, and what they’re currently going through.
In today’s episode, we share how you can use these non-verbal cues to create a tailored treatment plan for your patients.

Episode #131: Sharing Your Expertise

The best communicators have the best practices and one of the ways to grow your practice is to get out into the community and share your expertise.
In this episode, we talk about giving back to your community by sharing your knowledge and helping people who are looking for answers that the modern-day allopathic model might not be providing them. Spending time getting to know the people in your community will not only feel good, but it will also come back to you in spades when it comes to growing your business.

Episode #130: Is the Grass Greener?

Have you ever found yourself comparing your current situation to others around you, and things seem 'greener'? We’re constantly bombarded with the idea that there’s always something better, but a lot of that is just filters that create an illusion of “better”.
The truth is that the grass is only truly greener where you water it. 
In this episode, we talk about that moment you might have when you’re wondering if your work situation is the right one for you or if you need to make a change. We give tips and exercises on how to reflect on your current situation and what you’re looking for so that you make the right decision for yourself and your goals.
