How Kristen Wynns built an award-winning practice without insurance dependence and with a good dose of humor.

Group practice owners have a decision to make right now: continue treading water or get more creative in how they operate. The field of therapy is lucky to have many examples of group practice owners who embody innovative leadership. One of those is my "conference bestie", Dr. Kristen Wynns, author, speaker, and founder of Wynns Family Psychology.

Three things practice owners take away from this conversation:

• You're the owner, not the micromanager. How you delegate tasks, build team confidence, and accept feedback is what either inspires or discourages your team.

• Fiascos often lead to fresh starts. Humans are terrified of making changes, but sometimes you've just got to take advantage of a surprise reset, even if you don't think you're ready.

• Times change. So must your practice. New tech! New employees! New competition! Build in time for periodic recalibration.
