    Continuing with the theme of hiring, today I’m talking about interviewing tips. Let’s say that you’ve found a few good candidates – now you have to figure out if they’re actually a good fit for your practice! There are definitely some good ways to go about doing so and some less-than-ideal ways. Here are some of the areas that I tackle in this episode:

    • Why interviewing is often useless
    • Ways to combat bias in interviews
    • The one thing I always do as part of the interviewing process
    • Examples of “skills-based” interviews

    In my mastermind groups and individual consulting sessions, I get a lot of questions about hiring. Many folks are interested in expanding but are unsure of how to do it, which makes sense because it can definitely be an overwhelming process. This episode discusses some of the foundations for bringing other clinicians into your practice. These are a few topics that I discuss:

    • Why would you hire other clinicians?
    • When should you start hiring?
    • What are the steps to actually put out a job ad?

    Whether you’re just starting out or you’re trying to grow, finding office space can be a tricky venture. Many of us assume that we need to leap into full-time office space, but that’s not necessarily the case. Today I’m talking about some ins and outs of finding office space, knowing how much to acquire at first, and figuring out when you’re ready to expand or take on more space. Enjoy!

    Anybody else having a hard time finding clinicians? In my talks with other practice owners around the country, it seems like EVERYONE is struggling to hire. There are many reasons that I believe this is happening, but what it means for us as practice owners is that we have to do more to set ourselves apart from the other employment options out there. One of the ways to do that is with a stellar job ad. Here’s what I’m discussing in today’s episode:

    • Why the typical ad just doesn’t work anymore
    • Two components that can set your job ad apart from others
    • Where to advertise your job

    Did anyone else watch pro wrestling as a kid? My brother, cousin, and I would gather around the TV and watch anything from the WWF, WCW, WWE…whatever we could find. Then we would re-enact the moves using our stuffed animals and, sometimes, one another. So when I was searching for a name for this short summer series of podcasts, “Summer Slam” was an obvious choice!

    The Summer Slam series will have a few quick, to-the-point episodes with simple, actionable tips for you to put in place immediately. The strategies will mirror my own areas of focus from my last quarterly retreat.

    For Summer Slam #1, we’re talking about revisiting your schedule. Is it working for you, or are you working too much? If it’s the latter, now’s the time to look ahead and build out more of an ideal schedule.

    How many times have you entered the testing room, started the battery, and figured out that you left something crucial in another office (for me, it’s always my phone/stopwatch)? Or how many times have you sent out a report only to get an email back from the client asking why there’s another name on the report? Yikes! Both of these – and many other slip-ups – are mistakes that could have been avoided with a little preparation or double-checking. Today’s episode is a commentary on mistakes and how to avoid them. It draws heavily on material from Atul Gawande’s book, The Checklist Manifesto. Turns out a simple checklist can go a long way!
