In Episode 14 of The Successful Allied Health Practitioner Podcast, I’m joined by Chris Pearce, an experienced Occupational Therapist and Managing Director of OT Services Group. Chris shares his inspiring journey of co-founding the practice with his mum and how their shared vision has grown into a thriving team focused on driving assessments, home modifications, and assistive technology. He opens up about the challenges of starting a business, the rewards of working with family, and the importance of fostering a supportive team culture. Chris also highlights key leadership lessons, the value of staff development, and how a culture of innovation has helped their team grow stronger together. From office dog morale boosts to national recognition as Occupational Therapist of the Year, Chris shares personal insights and practical advice for any practitioner looking to build a meaningful career and business.
