Fearless Practitioners

The idea of hiring new team members seems like it could be easy, yet, when you actually dig into the entire process, it can cause a lot of people to stop and just not take that next step.

In today’s show, I chat with Jamie Van Cuyk about how to start the interview process, run interviews, and what you need to get started.

Jamie Van Cuyk, the owner and lead strategist of Growing Your Team, is an expert in hiring and onboarding teams within small businesses. Drawing from over ten years of leadership experience, Jamie teaches her clients how to hire their first team members, including employees and long-term contractors. By learning the dynamics of each company and their specific needs, she helps them find their perfect-fit, long-lasting team members and avoid the hiring and firing cycle.

On a personal side, Jamie lives in St Petersburg, FL, with her husband and two daughters, is a hobby winemaker, loves to travel, and enjoys exercise that takes her feet off the ground, including rock climbing and aerial dance.

• How to identify who you need on your team
• Learning how to ask questions to identify cultural fit
• It’s ok for interviews not to be conversational and to be direct
• Bring in your personality during the interview by introducing yourself and the company
• Advice from Jamie - Doing things in your practice, do they have to be done by you or done right?

In today’s show, Katie Dodd shares her story. She goes into the details and shares what has helped her to break out of side hustle and into full-time entrepreneur life.

Katie Dodd is a geriatric dietitian, writer, speaker, mentor, and leader.

She is also a nutrition entrepreneur. But here’s the catch, she has a full-time traditional dietitian job. Her entrepreneurial endeavors is her side hustle. She's been making 6 figures through her job and side hustle, doing things that she loves.

She is passionate about the field of nutrition and building up dietitians, interns, and students!!! She has been a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist since 2008 and was a side hustler for 7 years before becoming a full-time entrepreneur.

As a volunteer leader in her field, she's served in a variety of roles. For instance, she's served as the President of the Oregon Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and the Chair of the Healthy Aging Dietetic Practice Group.

Katie is a Fellow of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. And as a geriatric dietitian, she's been a Board Certified Specialist in Gerontological Nutrition (CSG) since 2013. But most importantly, she loves to continually learn and to help others to grow.

Outside of her hustle, she's a mom to Gavin and Emily and wife to Jason. She loves Jesus with all her heart. She drinks a lot of water and tea. And she loves exercise (she loves Peloton right now!) and challenging herself to do hard things.

She has a heart for advancing the profession, building up others, and helping dietitians make a lot of money doing what they love. There are so many opportunities for dietitians and she's so inspired by all of the entrepreneurs and side hustlers out there making it happen.

• Side hustle to full-time entrepreneur
• Work is now like a vacation
• Stay grateful and stay uncomfortable to grow
• Take time to think - Use your brain
• Write out those BIG Audacious dreams

Have you ever felt like you have said the same thing a few times and some clients get it while others don’t? This, for sure, has happened to me which led me to today’s guest.

In today’s session, I chat with Barb Mayfield about how to build up your communications skills and truly make an impactful connection with your clients or an audience.

Barbara Mayfield is the Founder and President of Nutrition Communicator, LLC, where she leads nutrition professionals to become confident and compelling communicators. Barb served as editor for Communicating Nutrition: The Authoritative Guide, published by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, leading a team of 57 experts in nutrition communication. This book is a lasting legacy of her years on the faculty of the Nutrition Science Department at Purdue where she taught future nutrition professionals to be effective nutrition communicators. Prior to teaching, Barb worked as an early interventionist, high-risk nutrition counselor, breastfeeding coordinator, local WIC program coordinator, long-term-care consultant, and private practice dietitian. Barb led Noteworthy Creations, Inc., a company dedicated to high quality nutrition education resources for 17 years. She’s published books and curricula for preschoolers, early elementary, high school, college, and professional audiences.

Barb received a B.S. in Dietetics from Purdue and an M.S. in Human Nutrition from Cornell. She received multiple teaching awards at Purdue, was named Outstanding Dietetics Educator by the Indiana Academy and the Nutrition and Dietetic Educators and Preceptors. In 2018 she was inducted into the Purdue Nutrition Science Hall of Fame and in 2019 was named Indiana’s Outstanding Dietitian. Earlier in her career, she received the Academy’s RYDY Award, and Purdue Alumni’s Outstanding Young Professional Award.

We can all rattle off things we need to work on, yet do you know your gifts? This one can be hard for a few of us at times.

In today’s show, I chat with Robin Plotkin about her career journey and how she followed her strengths and passions to build her career.

Today, what sets Robin apart from other professionals in her field is the way she’s able to connect with, well, everyone. To those that know her well, Robin is the every-dietitian. What does that mean? It means she’s at ease working with moms, consumers, media professionals, doctors and nurses, chefs, marketing executives and fifth-graders. What’s more, Robin truly wants to be having conversations and building relationships about food and health with all these people — helping them to build confidence in themselves, support their product and promote their talent.

Many of Robin’s people skills and her entrepreneurial spirit go back to her roots. When she was younger her family owned — and still owns — a floor covering business. It was the enterprising spirit of her family, Robin says, that made her realize that she “just couldn’t see myself doing the same thing day after day.”

As a result, Robin wears many hats. She’s fluent in event management, media relations and brand and product ambassadorship. She advises chefs, develops recipes and helps reporters focus their food and health stories. She helps companies expand and amplify their product goals and reputation with social media outreach. And, as a prolific blogger, she helps busy families find everyday solutions to leading healthier lives through her personal blog, Robin’s Bite, where she’s been blogging since 2009.

In short, she’s a recognized leader in her industry, with an unparalleled skillset and wide depth and breadth of knowledge. In the spirit of her entrepreneurial family, she takes each day as a new beginning, a new challenge. “Being multi-faceted allows me to bring different perspectives to each of my clients in a unique way that they wouldn’t otherwise be exposed to — and that’s something they appreciate.”
