In this candid snack episode, Miranda interviews Tracy about the research behind their white paper, "Unlocking Potential: A Business Blueprint for Practice Owners." Tracy reveals a startling discovery: the largest burnout studies—including the AMA's 18,000-respondent survey—systematically exclude private practice owners, focusing exclusively on employed physicians in large systems. This two-year-old research remains urgently relevant as healthcare continues evolving post-COVID. Tracy shares surprising insights from provider interviews, explains why the distinction between working in versus on your practice matters, and offers realistic expectations for reclaiming your time through strategic business planning.  Click here for full show notes  Download the White Paper: “Unlocking Potential: A Business Blueprint for Practice Owners”  Episode Highlights  The Missing Data: Why major burnout studies exclude independent practice owners and what this means for healthcare policy  Lower Burnout Rates: Evidence that practice owners experience slightly lower burnout rates due to greater autonomy—but remain at significant risk  COVID's Impact: How the pandemic intensified an already urgent workplace crisis that the WHO identified as early as 2019  Refreshing Candor: The surprisingly honest conversations practice owners had about their biggest frustrations (insurance companies top the list)  Working In vs. On: The critical difference between clinical tasks and strategic leadership—and why the 10,000-foot view matters  The Long Game: Why meaningful time recapture takes 3-6 months of consistent effort and why it's worth the investment  Healthcare Is Different: Why business principles apply to medical practices with crucial distinctions that generic business advice misses  Memorable Quotes  "I don't believe to this day, even two years on, that the data is actually very clear about practice owners."  "The burnout rates are lower because practice owners have more autonomy, comma, and they're still at risk at pretty much the same rates."  "Practice owners are the redheaded stepchild of burnout research."  "What surprised me was how candid they were as soon as we could get them to talk."  "Business is business, comma, and it's just different in healthcare. And we get that because we work in it with you."  "Everything you're doing now, if it's going to be an adjustment, it's going to take time to come back, but it's so worth the investment of time and energy."  Closing  This conversation underscores why advocacy for independent practice ownership remains central to our mission. When research systematically overlooks a segment of healthcare providers, policies get shaped without their reality in view—and that's exactly when practice owners need the most support.

Independent healthcare practices are at a critical crossroads. Based on original research from Tracy Cherpeski International's white paper "Unlocking Potential: A Business Blueprint for Practice Owners," this episode reveals the time crisis threatening independent practice ownership—and the surprising wave of change on the horizon. Tracy shares data showing that practice owners spend up to 35% of their time on administrative tasks, while 80% dream of a future with more strategic freedom. But there's hope: with proven time leadership strategies, practice owners are reclaiming 5-10 hours weekly and building sustainable practices that support both exceptional patient care and quality of life.  Click here for full show notes  Is your practice growth-ready? See Where Your Practice Stands: Take our Practice Growth Readiness Assessment  Episode Highlights  The shocking data on how much time practice owners lose to administrative work weekly  Why physician practice ownership dropped 13 percentage points from 2012-2022  The emerging wave of young and mid-career physicians choosing independent practice ownership  Dr. Noah's story: From drowning in admin work to reclaiming his practice and his life  The "garden sunlight" framework for understanding strategic time allocation  What's at stake if we don't support the next generation of practice owners  Proven strategies that help owners reclaim 5-10 hours per week  Memorable Quotes  "The biggest threat to independent healthcare practices isn't private equity buyouts or declining reimbursements—it's how practice owners are spending their time every single week."  "Medical school teaches you how to diagnose and treat patients. It doesn't teach you how to build systems, delegate effectively, or think like a CEO."  "Your time as a practice owner is like sunlight in a garden. If you spread it too thin across every single plant, nothing grows particularly strong."  "We're at an inflection point. And the question is: will these courageous physician entrepreneurs have the support, resources, and business knowledge they need to succeed?"  "Independent healthcare practice ownership doesn't have to be a path to burnout.

Shakeel Bharmal lays out a practical playbook for relevance and performance. Begin with the customer's customer to escape your own lens and create value that sticks. Coach as your default leadership stance—“Leadership is 80% about being a coach.” Make strategy a conversation that welcomes challenge and builds a stronger team, not just a document—“The real opportunity is digging into the genius in the room.” Use AI to deepen thinking—ask it to interview you—while resisting “cut and paste” shortcuts.

In this episode of Say Hi to the Future, host Ken Tencer welcomes Carey-Ann Oestreicher, Executive Coach and CEO of Potential Unlimited, for a conversation about leadership, purpose, and the power of personal awareness.This is not a typical conversation about performance or productivity, it's a reflection on what it truly means to lead from a place of authenticity. Carey-Ann has built a career around helping leaders see beyond metrics and titles to rediscover the human element that fuels growth. Her work invites people to look inward, to question what drives them, what connects them, and how they can bring more intention into their everyday decisions.At its core, this episode is about growth, not the kind that shows up on a balance sheet, but the kind that shapes who we are. It's about the moments that remind us to pause, to listen, and to lead with empathy. Carey-Ann reminds us that leadership begins long before we step into a boardroom. It begins with understanding ourselves, acknowledging our limits, and choosing to move forward with purpose.In a world that often values speed and certainty, this conversation offers stillness and reflection. It's a reminder that leadership isn't about having all the answers, it's about having the courage to ask better questions.

In this raw and honest solo episode, Tracy Cherpeski shares what happened when the burnout prevention expert found herself sliding into Stage 4 burnout. During one of the busiest seasons of her career - launching Thriving Practice Community, facilitating a CME-accredited wellness retreat, and developing new programs - Tracy experienced firsthand the insidious nature of burnout she teaches others to prevent. But this isn't just a story about struggle. It's about what actually works: the difference between near-burnout and full burnout, why clarity is 50% of prevention, and why community isn't optional but essential infrastructure for sustainable practice. Through stories from a powerful San Jose gathering and TPC's inaugural Community of Practice session, Tracy reveals what healthcare leaders are truly hungry for and what most of us are trying to survive without.  Click here for full show notes  Is your practice growth-ready? See Where Your Practice Stands: Take our Practice Growth Readiness Assessment  Episode Highlights  The irony of teaching burnout prevention while experiencing Stage 4 burnout during an intense launch season  What happened at the San Jose CME-accredited wellness event when physicians finally had space to connect  The "worst wellness advice ever" improv game that revealed the band-aid solutions healthcare leaders are tired of hearing  Dr. Robert's story: navigating impossible income swings, two practice models, and life-altering decisions completely alone  Gianna's journey: why even successful practice owners need community to navigate next-level growth decisions  The WHO's 12 stages of burnout and why Stages 1-4 look exactly like the "model physician"  Why clarity about your WHY is at least 50% of burnout prevention  How community serves as prevention infrastructure, not just a cure for burnout  The difference between three days of intentional rest and three months of burnout recovery  Memorable Quotes  "The irony was not lost on me. And that's the thing about burnout - it's insidious. You don't see it creeping up until suddenly, you're in it."  "That feeling of 'I'm keeping all these plates spinning but I've lost sight of why I'm in the circus to begin with.'"  "My body basically said, 'Okay, you pushed through the event, now you're STOPPING whether you like it or not.'"  "The 'worst advice' they were sarcastically giving? That WAS their lived experience."  "They grabbed onto connection like oxygen."  "And that's what I mean by isolation at the survival level. It's not that he's not capable - he's proven he is. It's that he's trying to navigate impossible complexity without anyone who actually understands the terrain."  "Success doesn't eliminate the need for community. It just changes what you need community FOR."  "Clarity is at least 50% of burnout prevention."  "Community isn't optional. It's infrastructure."  "Isolation intensifies everything. The doubt. The comparison. The overwhelm. The weight of decisions."  "That's the power of community. Not as a cure for burnout, but as prevention. As the structure that keeps you from getting there in the first place."  "This isn't about waiting until you 'have it all figured out' to connect with peers. It's about recognizing that connection IS how you figure it out."  Closing  Tracy's vulnerability in this episode is a gift. She didn't just teach us about burnout prevention - she showed us what it looks like to catch yourself at Stage 4, course-correct with clarity and community, and come out stronger. If you'refeeling isolated in your practice, making high-stakes decisions alone, or wondering if you have time for community, this episode is your reminder: you don't have time NOT to invest in connection and clarity. Because without them, you'llkeep spinning until your body forces you to stop.  Tracy's Bio:  Tracy Cherpeski, MBA, MA, CPSC (she/her/hers) is the Founder of Tracy Cherpeski International and Thriving Practice Community.

How can you go from just being a leader to being a truly inspirational leader? To transition from merely being a leader to one who truly inspires, it is necessary to understand the dynamics of influence and impact. Dr. Marshall Goldsmith, a luminary in the realm of leadership and executive coaching, discusses key principles that can facilitate this transformation. It starts with recognizing the power of intentionality in communication and decision-making. Inspirational leaders, as Marshall highlights, pause to consider whether their actions align with the goal of making a positive difference.

Through insightful anecdotes and practical wisdom, Marshall elucidates the importance of making a positive difference, fostering trust, and embracing self-awareness on the journey toward greatness in leadership.

Muriel Wilkins is founder and CEO of Paravis Partners and advisor and coach to C-suite executives. She is also the author of Leadership Unblocked and host of the Harvard Business Review podcast Coaching Real Leaders.  In this episode we discuss the following: What often holds us back as leaders isn't the ability to grasp some new tactic. Rather it's the beliefs we hold about ourselves. Many of the mindsets that helped us succeed early on—like needing to be involved in every detail, always being right, or not being willing to make a mistake—can hold us back later. Overcoming our limiting beliefs starts with curiosity: noticing when we're frustrated or blocked, asking what belief might be driving that feeling, and challenging whether it's still true.

STOP Leading Backwards! Transform Your Coaching from the "Dance Floor" to the "Balcony" with Executive Coach Zafer AchiEver feel like you're doing everything right—you've got the technical expertise, the tools, the game plan—but your team still feels disconnected? You're not alone. In this electrifying episode, we dive deep with Zafer Achi, a veteran executive coach and Co-Chair of Cultivating Leadership, who reveals the single biggest mistake most leaders and coaches make: trying to lead others before truly knowing and leading themselves.Zafer breaks down his own powerful journey from being a technically brilliant leader who puzzled his teams ("We don't know who he is") to becoming a master of developmental coaching. This isn't just theory; this is the tactical framework you need to accelerate growth—both for yourself and your athletes/team members.What You'll Discover in This Must-Listen Episode:The "Backward" Leadership Trap: Why focusing on team management and technical fixes before self-awareness leaves your team feeling unheard and generates "scar tissue."Trust vs. Transparency: The crucial difference between sharing everything you know and sharing who you are—and why only one builds deep trust and connection.The Player-Coach Mindset: Learn the game-changing metaphor of the "Balcony and the Dance Floor" (coined by Ron Heifetz) and how to instantly shift from being caught up in the action to observing the dynamics.Free Yourself from Rigid Beliefs: Discover how to identify values and principles you are "subject to" and learn the profound liberation that comes from holding them as options for choice.The 3 Pillars of Self-Awareness: Zafer reveals the simple, daily practices (mirrored by top performance psychologists) that leaders can use to "take the balcony on their inner life."Turbocharge Team Development: Find out why a functional team is actually the ultimate accelerator for individual growth and how to structure collective "Balcony Moments" that metabolize conflict and unlock collective potential.Whether you're a sports coach, a CEO, or a team captain, this conversation is your blueprint for moving beyond the mechanics of leadership to the mastery of human development. Hit play and start leading from the Balcony!

Overview: Each quarter brings predictable patterns in patient behavior and practice operations, yet many healthcare providers find themselves constantly reacting instead of planning. In this snack episode, Tracy Cherpeski shares her insights on how practice owners can leverage quarterly shifts to build sustainable growth and avoid burnout. From Q1's deductible reset surge to Q4's strategic planning opportunities, Tracy offers a roadmap for thriving year-round.  Click here for full show notes  Episode Highlights:  How to prepare for Q1's patient surge and deductible reset without overwhelming your team  Why Q2 is the perfect time for mid-year assessments and what metrics actually matter  Using Q3's momentum (or downtime) strategically instead of just coasting through summer  The competitive advantage of Q4 planning over end-of-year scrambling  Understanding the "hustle and glide" mentality for sustainable practice growth  The Time Leadership Quadrant: A practical framework for triaging what needs your attention now  Memorable Quotes:  "What you track, you can manage."  "You don't want to make your adjustments in the busy time. It's the analogy of getting caught with your pants around your ankles—it's not a good time to try to run if you are bound."  "If you take some time in Q3 to plan, you'll be at least a quarter ahead of your competition."  "Embrace the hustle and glide mentality—we hustle when it's truly hustle time, and when it's not, you slow down, become more reflective, and recharge your batteries."  "The practice owners who thrive year-round know when to work on the business instead of always being in it."  If you're ready to stop riding the quarterly roller coaster and start planning for predictable success, visit thrivingpracticecommunity.com to schedule a consultation with Tracy today.  Is your practice growth-ready?

In today's episode, Lauren LeMunyan, Executive Coach and Founder of Spitfire Coaching, explores a powerful shift emerging across leadership landscapes: moving from a mindset of constant doing to one of intentional being. Drawing insights from real coaching sessions and leadership cohorts, Lauren unpacks how relying on external validation can limit growth—and how developing self-awareness and internal measures of success can unlock true leadership potential. If you're ready to evolve beyond the checklist and lead with purpose, presence, and impact, this conversation is your catalyst.

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Kash Rocheleau, CEO of Icon Foods, Inc.. She discusses the importance of mentorship, fostering cultures of ownership and transparency, and explains why real growth occurs when we step outside our comfort zones. In today's episode, we discuss: Recognize the impact of supportive mentors in your life. Seek out people who champion your goals and remind you of your strengths during challenges; even one person who believes in you can turn obstacles into opportunities.  Lean into self-reliance but also understand when collaboration is important. Balancing independence with the ability to ask for help allows you to own your journey while benefiting from collective wisdom, a dynamic that improves both personal and professional relationships.  Embrace your imperfections as valuable leadership assets. When you let go of perfectionism and openly admit your mistakes, it demonstrates authenticity that naturally builds trust and boosts team morale. Remember, vulnerability can often be your greatest strength.  Foster cultures of ownership and transparency wherever you are. Whether as a leader or team member, contributing to an environment where people feel responsible for outcomes creates a sense of pride and belonging that benefits everyone. Reexamine the personal “ceilings” you accept or create in your life. Believe that your potential is not capped by others but by yourself, and seek (or become) the kind of support that encourages ambition, so you always have the permission to grow.

In this powerful conclusion to our three-part time leadership series, Tracy tackles one of the most repeated—and least helpful—pieces of productivity advice: "work smarter, not harder." Through the compelling story of Dr. David, an ER physician turned regenerative medicine practice owner, you'll discover why this platitude fails and what to do instead. Tracy introduces a concrete methodology for strategic work allocation that helped Dr. David redirect 15 hours per week from low-value interruptions to high-value work that only he could perform. The result? Substantial revenue growth, improved patient flow, and a more confident, self-sufficient team—all while working the same number of hours.  Click here for full show notes  Is your practice growth-ready? See Where Your Practice Stands: Take our Practice Growth Readiness Assessment  Download the Time Leadership Delegation Tool  Episode Highlights  Why "work smarter" is useless advice: It offers zero actionable guidance on how to actually work differently  The critical distinction: Time leadership isn't about getting extra free time—it's about strategic reallocation to work that only you can do  Dr. David's breakthrough: Discovering he spent 15 hours weekly on work that didn't require his expertise  The three strategic changes: Training staff for self-sufficiency, redesigning clinical schedules around highest-value work, and fixing the scheduling system  The scheduling protocol that changed everything: How offering two specific appointment options eliminated chaos and six weekly interruptions  Real results: How 12 redirected hours created substantial revenue increases and improved practice flow  The Discovery-Analysis-Action framework: Tracy's proven methodology for lasting change  Memorable Quotes  "Time leadership isn't about efficiency—it's about effectiveness. It's not about doing things faster—it's about doing the right things and ensuring the wrong things aren't on your plate at all."  "The question isn't 'how do I work smarter?' The question is 'what work should I actually be doing, and what needs to stop being on my plate?'"  "You're not getting 'extra' time. You're reclaiming strategic capacity that's currently being drained by the wrong work."  "Awareness without action is just expensive entertainment. You can understand time leadership intellectually and still be overwhelmed six months from now."  "I finally understand the difference between being busy and being effective. I'm working the same number of hours, but the work I'm doing is completely different." —Dr. David  This episode delivers the practical implementation guide you've been waiting for in the time leadership series. Whether you're a physician, dentist, or other healthcare practice owner, Tracy's methodology for strategic work allocation will help you stop playing every instrument in the orchestra and start conducting.

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with JulieAnn Bornales, Creative Operations & Marketing Consultant, and Podcast Producer. She highlights the lessons learned from career setbacks, finding your voice in challenging environments, and the importance of asking for what you're worth.   In today's episode, we discuss: Don't overlook the power of self-belief when facing challenges or workplace uncertainty. Trusting in your ability to solve problems encourages you to keep going through setbacks, helping you recover faster and reach your goals. Know your worth and stand firm in negotiating it, even if it feels uncomfortable initially. Advocating for yourself early in your career can lead to better pay and opportunities later, so get used to asking for more, even if you're eager just to get your foot in the door. Be bold and reach out to people or platforms outside your comfort zone. Sometimes the simplest act of curiosity, like sending an email or asking a question, can lead to big opportunities, so never underestimate the power of taking that next small step. Explore passions and hobbies outside your job to boost creativity and emotional resilience. Participating in activities you enjoy, like baking or theater, can decrease stress and help you bring fresh energy and new ideas back to your main pursuits.   RESOURCES: Master's Thesis  Imagery implications of MTV : teen pop, adolescent girls, and sex role behaviors: https://scholarworks.sjsu.edu/etd_theses/3364/   Guest Bio A native of Northern California, JulieAnn received a double undergraduate degree in Sociology - Organizational Studies and Communications from the University of California at Davis and earned her Master's Degree in Mass Communications, writing her thesis on MTV, music videos, and gender identity at San Jose State University.  A music industry veteran of over 15 years, she spent the majority of her career at Warner Music Group, contributing across sales, marketing, digital strategy, and creative development—driving cross-functional initiatives that supported both artist growth and brand innovation.  She was a key contributor to the launch of Warner Music Group's first FAST (Free Ad-Supported Streaming Television) channels, helping to program the company's expansion into this rapidly growing digital media space.  She also played a central role in unifying podcasting initiatives across international markets and served as producer of the award-winning, Chartable-ranked series Totally 80's: The Podcast.  A proud alumnus of the Atlantic Theater Acting School in New York City, JulieAnn has also appeared in Off-Broadway productions, web-series and short films.
