Fearless Practitioners

Take a day away from the office, family, and life and plan out your 2021!!

Every year I have a year goal planning show, and it truly is my favorite show because we get to plan out our goals and dream about what our private practice will look like next year. 

Why do you need to get a head start on goals for 2021 now?  Because you want to make sure you have mapped out a plan of what you will be doing when January 1st hits.  Don’t wait for New Year's Eve, that will put you behind!

In today’s episode of the Fearless Practitioners Podcast,  I want to walk you through an exercise that I do yearly.  It helps me map out how, when and what I will take on in the following year! I do this with my WER (Women’s Entrepreneur Roundtable) group and it has always been magical! I am always super excited and amazed at what comes out of these planning sessions. Listen in as I share the steps I take to plan out my year in a day! 

TOPICS DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE:

• Goal Planning for 2021.
• What steps you need to take first to plan out your goals.
• How to plan out your 2021 for success.

It’s conference season with a twist this year.

Because of COVID-19, virtual conferences are on the rise. This means that there are more opportunities to attend conferences that you might not have been able to before. It also means that you are able to network and learn from a wider range of people.

However, virtual conferences, unlike in-person conferences, require a different kind of approach and mindset. Switching from experiencing the energy of being around people in a HUGE ballroom to being at home in front of a screen will take a shift.

Before your next virtual conference, listen in to this episode of the Fearless Practitioners Podcast as I share some tips and tricks to increase your focus and help make the most of your time.

TOPICS DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE:

• Treat your time like you are attending an in-person conference.
• Connect with Friends prior to the conference. Click HERE for FNCE 2020 Friends!
• After the conference, set aside time to process and follow up.

Resources for Your Practice

I want to share with y'all some of my FAVORITE tools that I have relied on for the past 12 years to help build my practice, and have made my life easier.

If you are needing help with:

• Tools for growing your business
• Client software that is easy and affordable
• Marketing support
• Money tracking to make bookkeeping easier

I got y'all covered with these resources!!

After being in private practice for over a decade, I've learned what my practice simply cannot live without!

These are tools I strongly recommend for building your practice. Check them all out here!

Are you saying yes to everything?

Just because you CAN do something – doesn’t mean that you SHOULD!

In this week’s episode of the FearlessPractitioners Podcast, I am joined by Kim Gould of Autonomy Movement and we are going to talk about how to take stock of everything you do, how to really be honest about what you think is going to work in building your practice, and ultimately DOING what you do best!

ABOUT KIM GOULD

Kim is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, an IBBFA-Certified Barre Instructor, and a NASM-Certified Personal Trainer. She began crafting the idea for Autonomy Movement after several years of working in both the fitness and mental health industries, where she saw the need for a safe and compassionate space free from the punitive, weight loss centric, and diet-culture mentality of movement. Kim is a Health at Every Size-informed provider and created a comprehensive Body Diversity Fitness Competency training program for Autonomy instructors, as well as the very first internationally accredited, intentionally weight-neutral barre training program.

Kim has experience teaching group fitness as well as leading private classes, and will also be providing Fusions at Autonomy: A dual movement and psychotherapeutic process session intended for clients to begin exploring and restoring their relationships with their bodies and exercise. Her passion is assisting clients, clinicians, and other fitness professionals in learning more about the overlap between movement and mental health, and she could not be more excited to begin building the Autonomy Movement community in Austin!

TOPICS DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE:

• Evolving from a provider to a business owner.
• Just because you CAN do something doesn’t always mean you SHOULD do something.
• How to find balance between saying no and leaning into new opportunities.

Do you need more calls from potential clients?

In this week’s episode of the #FearlessPractitioners #Podcast, we are going to talk about the top things you need to be doing on a weekly basis to keep that flow of new clients into your practice- grab some paper and pen because today you are going to be taking notes!!!

TOPICS DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE:

Connections are an important part of growing as a business provider AND as a business owner.

In this episode of the Fearless Practitioners Podcast, I chat with Anne Elizabeth about how to talk to your community. We also talk about how to change up your message to help others truly understand how you can help and what you bring in your role.

Anne also shares her experience and wealth of knowledge from her own podcast on what we, as dietitians, can do in order to do a better job of serving our clients.

 

ABOUT ANNE ELIZABETH

Anne Cundiff, RD, LD, FAND, is a nutrition expert and a retail registered dietitian for Hy-Vee, Inc. in Des Moines, Iowa. In this role, Anne has focused her nutrition expertise by obtaining the CDR Certificate of Training in Adult Weight Management in March 2003, completing her certificate in wellness coaching from Des Moines University in February 2009, and becoming certified as a Lifestyle Coach with the American Association of Diabetes Educators in February 2016.

Anne’s purpose is to meet clients where they are on their wellness journey and provide the most relevant information on all aspects of nutrition in and out of the grocery store through nutrition counseling, community and corporate wellness, wellness presentations and a variety of media outlets.

TOPICS DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE:

• One of the consistent struggles with a lot of dietitians is not being heard or understood in what they provide to clients and the healthcare industry.
• Ask yourself - what do you really do to help better communicate your unique value to the community.
• Connect with your community to build up your practice and expertise.
