The Faster Way To Wealth, Stability, And Freedom with Greg Todd, PT
The common way of thinking when it comes to harnessing and mastering our craft is through continued education. However, for those of us whose time is not really on our side, it is not that efficient to take more and more courses while expecting to grow any time soon. Creator of coach and consultant companies called PT Builder and Smart Success PT, Greg Todd, PT took a U-turn after spending years trying to master being a PT the conventional way. Greg later learned that the path to greater financial reward and more freedom to spend time with his family is achieved not by improving his traditional PT skill sets but through improving his values in his clinic by developing his leadership skills, marketing ability (communication), and the vision for his company. Since then, these non-traditional skills have helped Greg achieve all the goals he wanted. He shares the journey and steps he took that will inspire us to move our way faster to wealth, stability, and freedom.

Aligning The Mindsets Of Owners And Their PT Teams Equals Retention And Growth with Kim Rondina, DPT
Kim Rondina, DPT of Wisdom PT Coach, knows what it’s like to develop leadership teams and build a thriving practice as she’s done both successfully. However, as she coaches and trains PTs and their bosses, she is noticing that there can frequently be a gap between what the PT and owner are wanting from each other. What she notices is that if the owner, the leader, will take the time to really listen to their therapy team and tap into their strengths, dreams, creativity, and desire to succeed, they will get more out of their teams, work together to attain clinical and individual PT’s goals, and develop a team that is dedicated to the vision and mission of the owner. Creating that kind of environment can become a powerful purpose that drives growth, retention, and recruiting.
