In this enlightening "snack episode," host Miranda Dorta turns the mic around to interview Tracy Cherpeski about the critical connection between leadership approaches and healthcare practice success. Tracy reveals how healthcare providers often exhibit confidence in clinical settings but struggle with business leadership, sharing practical insights on adapting leadership styles while maintaining authenticity. She introduces the concept of "changing hats" to help practitioners mentally transition between clinical and leadership roles, and emphasizes that micromanagement isn't always negative when applied strategically. Tracy's most impactful leadership tip? The power of the pause—what she calls "WAIT" (Why Am I Talking?)—allowing leaders to respond thoughtfully rather than reactively. Episode Highlights: The pattern Tracy observed in healthcare providers: confidence in clinical delegation but timidity in business leadership How practitioners can transfer clinical skills to leadership while knowing which habits to "surgically remove" The cognitive trick of "changing hats" to help the brain switch between clinical and leadership mindsets Why micromanagement isn't always negative and when it might be necessary The most powerful leadership adjustment: learning to pause before reacting Memorable Quotes: "Sometimes their business model is to hope for the best." "Leadership doesn't mean knowing everything. It doesn't mean being in command or control of every single thing." "Micromanagement - it's not a four-letter word, but it sounds like it could be." "If you take your hands off, not abdicate your responsibility for success, but take your hands off and let them do their work, they will rise to the occasion." "We call it WAIT. It's an acronym. Why Am I Talking?" Miranda's Bio: Miranda Dorta, B.F.A. (she/her/hers) is the Manager of Operations and PR at Tracy Cherpeski International.

In this episode, Tracy explores how independent healthcare practice owners can leverage small wellness initiatives as powerful demonstrations of leadership. Against the backdrop of unprecedented challenges in healthcare—from high turnover to political pressures—she reveals how intentional wellness practices create disproportionate returns for small practices. Unlike large healthcare systems, small practices have a "leadership proximity advantage" that makes even modest wellness initiatives more effective. Tracy shares practical, low-cost approaches that strengthen team culture, improve retention, and ultimately create more sustainable practices. The episode highlights how leadership presence, rather than elaborate programs, is the true foundation of practice wellbeing. Episode Highlights: Why small practices have a distinct advantage in implementing effective wellness initiatives A simple 20-minute weekly wellness activity that costs nothing but delivers remarkable results Five mindset practices that integrate wellness into everyday leadership How to measure the ROI of wellness initiatives through reduced absenteeism and improved engagement The critical connection between a leader's own sustainable energy and team wellness Memorable Quotes: "Culture isn't a workshop we attend. It's about the example we set." "The most successful practice owners know that wellness isn't about implementing a program—it's about investing in your most valuable asset: your people." "Small, consistent wellness actions may seem insignificant compared to the daily operations of your practice, but they can completely redirect your practice culture." "The practices that consistently outperform, even in challenging times, aren't necessarily the ones with the most resources—they're the ones led by owners who understand that how they show up matters more than what they say." "You can't pour from an empty cup. The foundation of any successful team wellness initiative is your own sustainable energy as a leader."

In this candid, unscripted "snack episode," Tracy is interviewed by Miranda, our Manager of Operations and PR at Tracy Cherpeski International and the Thriving Practice Community. Tracy shares her practical planning process for helping healthcare practice owners transform their ideas into achievable quarterly goals. She explains how to plan effectively even during uncertainty and maintain enthusiasm while building a practice vision despite challenges. Key Takeaways: Tracy's planning process starts with clarity - connecting the what, why, and how of your goals Emotional connection to goals makes it easier to put in the necessary effort Beginning with clarity increases speed rather than haste Break down long-term goals by working backward - from 12 months to 9, 6, 3 months, then to weekly and daily tasks Breaking goals into smaller chunks prevents feeling overwhelmed Celebrate daily accomplishments with a "ta-da list" to maintain positive energy and momentum Look for subtle wins: improved feelings, better sleep, increased energy at work Lack of patience is a major challenge for healthcare entrepreneurs who want solutions immediately The importance of "slowing down to speed up" - surrendering to the process brings clarity Finding your practice's unique edge goes beyond clinical expertise to what makes you stand out in a competitive market Notable Quotes: "When we're emotionally connected to a goal, then it's easier for us...to put in the effort and the labor that's required to make something come to fruition." "Clarity actually helps us increase speed rather than like haste." "Sometimes when we have big goals, it can feel so overwhelming that we don't even start." "My coach who trained me taught me about the ta-da list at the end of each day, which is...don't diminish progress." "When we use this beautiful tool called surrender and we trust the process, that slowing down brings us that clarity that helps us then move forward with more speed." "What makes you stand out so that you don't feel like it's about competition...Seth Godin calls it Purple Cow. Right? Like, what is it about your practice that makes you unique? And it can't just be your clinical expertise. It's not enough." Miranda's Bio: Miranda Dorta, B.F.A. (she/her/hers) is the Manager of Operations and PR at Tracy Cherpeski International.

In 1986, Whitney Houston sang a powerful, positive message about nurturing our children and believing in their potential, titled "The Greatest Love of All." Fast forward to today, and the UN Secretary-General urgently reminds us of our duty: “leave no child behind” in the battle against human trafficking—a grave violation of human rights that preys on the most vulnerable among us. Tragically, one-third of trafficking victims are children, who endure unimaginable suffering, from forced labor to sexual exploitation and even recruitment as soldiers. The rise of online platforms has further exacerbated their vulnerability, allowing traffickers to exploit these innocent lives across borders. The long-lasting psychological and physical trauma these children face robs them of their innocence and future. It is imperative that we bolster our protective measures. This means implementing justice systems that are sensitive to children's needs, raising public awareness, supporting unaccompanied minors, and addressing the root causes of exploitation by aiding families in distress. We must rally governments, civil society, and the private sector, including tech companies, to work together to create an environment where no child falls victim to this crime and no trafficker escapes justice. In the United States, approximately 10,000 children are subjected to the horrors of commercial sexual exploitation each year, forced to perform unimaginable acts multiple times daily. Yet, those who perpetrate this abuse often evade accountability, blending back into their communities without facing consequences. The current fight against child trafficking is far from effective, highlighting the urgent need for comprehensive and coordinated efforts to safeguard our most vulnerable populations and support child survivors. Now is the time to act. Let's commit to listening, learning, and taking meaningful steps to address this critical issue. Together, we can make a difference and protect our children's futures. Take a listen, learn things, and then share.
In this special "snack episode" of the Thriving Practice Podcast, Miranda Dorta interviews Tracy Cherpeski about the evolution of the healthcare industry since 2010. Tracy shares insights on current challenges facing independent practices, emerging business models, and essential skills for practice owners to thrive in today's healthcare landscape. From the concerning trend of private equity acquisitions to promising signs of physicians returning to independent practice, Tracy offers her perspective on where healthcare is heading and how practice owners can adapt. Main Points: Private equity acquisition of practices and expansion of larger institutions are concerning trends affecting independent healthcare practices Early signs suggest some physicians are returning to private practice after experiencing larger institutional settings Independent single-provider practices face significant financial challenges with high operating costs Collaborative group practices with multiple providers offer a sustainable model for the future Practice owners need to embrace their CEO role and focus on strategic leadership, delegation, and resource allocation Smart investment in marketing and operations is essential for practice growth, despite some resistance A shift back toward more relational, neighborhood-based practices may be emerging Notable Quotes: "I see independent provider practices struggling a lot with an individual, just one provider. So I am seeing a little bit more of a leaning towards a group focus or multiple providers." "I see practices that maybe are successful but they're not as profitable as they could be." "Most of our clients do not think of themselves as a CEO first. But if you're a business owner, you are the CEO." "It's not how you spend your time. If you're spending your time, you're probably wasting it... It's how you invest the resource, the finite resource of your time and energy." Miranda's Bio: Miranda Dorta, B.F.A.

In this special "snack episode" of the Thriving Practice Podcast, our Manager of Operations and PR, Miranda Dorta, turns the mic around to interview Tracy Cherpeski, examining the reality of healthcare practice leadership. This candid, unscripted conversation explores how practice owners can achieve sustainable growth without sacrificing personal well-being. Tracy shares her evidence-based approaches to sustainability, effective boundary setting, and the systems that support healthcare practice owners, offering valuable insights on achieving harmony between professional demands and personal needs. Main Points: Well-being vs. Work-Life Balance: Tracy defines well-being as the complete picture encompassing physical, mental, and spiritual health along with business health. She challenges the concept of "balance," suggesting that harmony with one's life goals is more realistic for business owners. The Importance of Slowing Down: Tracy emphasizes that the first step to protecting time and energy is slowing down to gain "crystal clarity" about personal and professional goals, which allows practice owners to prioritize effectively. Recognizing When Growth Threatens Well-being: Through reflective questioning and coaching, Tracy helps healthcare professionals recognize patterns that compromise their well-being and guides them to meaningful "aha moments" about self-care. Addressing Perfectionism and Control: Tracy normalizes the control tendencies common in healthcare entrepreneurs while helping them learn true surrender—not abdication but rather building trust in themselves and their teams. Notable Quotes: "Well-being is really the entire picture of the human being's health—physical, spiritual, and mental—as well as the business." "I just don't believe in balance... Most of us spend more of our waking hours working than we do being home. So right away we're out of balance. So are we in harmony with what we want out of life and the business that we want?" "The most important piece of the puzzle is to slow down... It's really important to slow down so that we can get really clear. And this is the key to everything—crystal clarity." "Physicians in particular are trained like never to let anybody see them sweat... It takes a while to sort of crack that facade and allow their real deep humanity to come out." "When we put it back on them to look at themselves and to trust themselves, it changes the responsibility... They double down then on the responsibility to ensure that their team has what they need so that they can take their hands off of it." "Most of the time, the desire to control ends up being the Achilles heel... when they recognize that it's probably the cause of a lot of their challenges and energy drains, it becomes a little bit easier to let go."
