I help practice owners serve more patients and rise as experts in their areas of speciality so they can change the system from the inside-out. At the heart of it, my clients and I are puzzle solvers, and we’re committed to finding and eradicating the root cause of discomfort and frustrations so our clients and patients can stop merely surviving and begin THRIVING.

There was a lot of laughter. There was some shopping, beach walking, seafood grilling, hot tubbing, and the perfect amount of downtime.
THE BEST PART:

Those who have never started a business from a “crazy” idea, with no money, a plan sketched-out on a bar napkin or scratch paper, just won’t understand. Take heart, you are not alone. I started my coaching business at the bidding of a colleague, who was the fourth person who suggested I should become a coach.

Read MoreOne of the biggest catches to being an entrepreneur is an innate sense of wide-eyed wonder and awe at all of the possibilities. I even write and teach about limitless potential and staying open to all possibilities. Here’s the deal, though:
