I’m fortunate enough to have two return guests today, Dr. Lisa Drozdick and Kristen Getz, to talk about development of digital assessment measures. Lisa and Kristen are heavily involved in Q-interactive and have many years of experience to draw from in this conversation, from both the research and product sides. For a wannabe tech geek like myself, this was a dream come true to be able to pick their brains about the ins and outs of developing digital measures. Here are just a few things that we talk about:

• The scope and research plan for digital projects
• User interface and design decisions in digital development
• Gender neutrality in digital assessment
• Deciding what data is important to measure when you could almost literally measure everything

Leasing an office space is yet another aspect of business that we typically don’t learn about in graduate school, leaving us to navigate a complex process with little guidance. If you’re anything like me, you may have a vague sense that you could negotiate a lease but very little idea of how to actually do that. My guest today, Colin Carr, is an expert in commercial real estate for healthcare providers. He shares a TON of helpful information that you can immediately use when looking for your next office. These are just a few things that we discuss:

• What is a commercial broker?
• Why should we consider using a broker in our office search?
• Top mistakes healthcare providers make when leasing an office space
• Areas to negotiate when signing a lease

In this “live” coaching call, Dr. Anne Carlew is here to talk with me about building her neuropsychology practice in Mississippi. We discuss values in her practice, how to market a practice in a relatively rural area, and how to sell services that patients (and physicians) may not even know exist. Huge kudos to Anne for being vulnerable and sharing her story here with me!
