Fearless Practitioners

I would love to take this time to look back and look at all YOUR have accomplishments.

It’s too easy to look back and see the things we have not accomplished or the things that didn’t go the way we hoped, and I challenge you to take this time to look back and find what you ROCKED at!

• Looking back at the year
• Finding your accomplishments
• Appreciation for your journey to date

By following these steps and blocking out your calendar to take action, you WILL see the results and you WILL have success without the headache and fear of not knowing when clients will come, while building relationships.

Now don’t everyone raise your hand all at once. I know you, and y’all have said that marketing has been on the top of your to-do list for awhile and yet it feels like a mountain to climb, so y’all just have to make the time for it..

In today’s session, we chat with Dan Caldwell who has been on the show before (Episode 62). Today he shares an update on how he has diversified his business to continue to build his dream business.

Dan has been happily married to his best friend for the past 6+ years. Dan has a daughter who he adores “more than anything in this world”. Dan is a fan of all things sports (Cowboys, Astros, Rockets, Liberty Flames).

Dan began his career in the helping profession at Memorial Herman Prevention and Recovery Center (PaRC) in March, 2011 as a LCDC Intern. He was hired as a detox counselor later that same year and worked that position for about three years. He then worked with the Day Intensive Outpatient Program for about four years. “I love the counseling profession as enables me to be a very small part of so many people’s journey of change”. Dan is a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor – Certified Clinical Supervisor registered with the state of Texas and an Alcohol it Drug Counselor and Licensed through the International Certification & Reciprocity Consortium (IC & RC).

Or have you spent hours and hours trying new social media posts, new ideas, etc., trying to get more clients and nothing worked? I sure have and know how frustrating and defeating it can be.

In today’s show, I chat with Dr. Ginger Bratzel. She shares how a few simple conversations with clients can change up how you get clients coming in over and over and over again.

Dr. Bratzel helps take the confusion out of marketing and walks you through real world tactics that work.

Dr. Ginger Bratzel is the founder and creator of Rio Grande DATP LLC. Ginger started her professional career as a dentist where she developed systems and strategies to increase patient and client attraction to create business growth.

From Ginger’s own success, soon health care providers and other service providers from around the country were asking her to work with them in their businesses, too, And she quickly began coaching private clients on how to do it, as well.

Ginger was invited to consult and be the lead coach for one of the largest healthcare marketing companies in the nation to their top-level clients teaching them her proven step-by-step program to show owners exactly how to attract more of the right kind of patients, clients, and customers.

Ginger is known for her “no holds barred and shoot straight from the hip” approach to business growth as well as getting and keeping clients.

Do you say to yourself:

• "What the hell are you doing?"
• "You are not a real business owner."
• "You should stop this business and go back to work at the hospital because you really don’t know what you are doing."

If you have not had this inner dialogue with yourself I would be impressed. We all have that inner “mean girl” telling us we are just not good enough to be successful. In today's show, I chat with Jessica Serdikoff about her work with Empowered Dietitians.

Jess Serdikoff is a NJ-based registered dietitian and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor who splits her time between a small, intuitive eating virtual private practice to help individuals end years of restriction and stress around food; and a full-time supervision business for fellow dietitians feeling overwhelmed by burnout, imposter feelings, and paralyzing perfectionism. In both group and 1:1 supervision, Jess helps her colleagues more clearly define their professional identities and values, set better boundaries, and build confidence in their work. She specializes in case consultations for intuitive eating, weight inclusivity, and disordered eating. In her spare time, Jess loves hiking, curling up on the couch with her fiancé and their dog, Toby, and eating dessert. You can connect with Jess on Instagram @empowering.dietitians, listen to her Empowering Dietitians Podcast with new episodes weekly, or learn more about her supervision services at empoweringdietitians.com.
