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.

Most leaders think their organizational problems are structural — that if they just rearrange the boxes on the org chart, everything will flow better. But as organizational design consultant and executive coach Susannah Robinson explains, that's rarely the real issue.In this episode of Relationships at Work, host Russel Lolacher and Susannah break down what organizational design actually means — and how it connects directly to leadership behavior, culture, and employee experience.Together, they explore:Why most “structure problems” are really leadership and communication problemsHow to align your strategy, values, and design so your people can actually succeedThe difference between managing intent vs. managing impact as a leaderHow ego and fear of change block healthy redesignsWhat real accountability and trust look like when teams restructureWhether you're leading a department, a small business, or an entire organization, this conversation will help you see organizational design as a relationship practice — not a chart exercise.

This week Nick talks to Julian RobertsJulian Roberts is an executive coach, author and podcast presenter known for his work in developing personal and organisational resilience.In this episode, Nick and Julian talk through Julian's varied career path — from studying medical sciences and starting out in pharmaceutical sales, to spending twenty years in the food industry with brands such as Heinz, before moving into executive coaching following a difficult corporate experience that led him to reassess his direction.Julian explains how his interest in people and performance encouraged him to retrain as a coach and study psychology and neuro-linguistic programming. He describes how his coaching helps individuals and teams to gain clarity, challenge assumptions and take practical steps towards improvement. He also discusses how adaptability and learning, rather than persistence alone, are key to building resilience and improving both personal performance and workplace culture. Julian's Book choice was: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey Julian music choice was: “Intro” by The xx.This content is issued by Zeus Capital Limited (“Zeus”) (Incorporated in England & Wales No. 4417845), which is authorised and regulated in the United Kingdom by the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) for designated investment business, (Reg No. 224621) and is a member firm of the London Stock Exchange.

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.

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!

If you're an executive coach who wants to grow your business, especially with more corporate clients, but you think you just might be getting in your own way? This episode is for you. You might notice that you're not doing the things that would really move the needle, like reaching out to people in your warm network, posting on LinkedIn, or showing up more visibly. It's not that you don't know what to do; it's that something deeper keeps getting in the way. In this episode, I'll share the subtle ways fear and self-protection limit your growth, and the emotional, financial, and even personal cost of staying stuck in that pattern. Here's what I cover: ✅ How fear shows up as “reasonable excuses” in your business. ✅ Why playing it safe on LinkedIn or avoiding outreach keeps you stuck. ✅ The hidden energy drain that comes from inaction. ✅ How negative beliefs about sales and visibility quietly hold you back. ✅ The real cost, in time, opportunity, and confidence, when you keep yourself small. I'll also talk about what it looks like to step into a bigger version of yourself as a business owner, one who embraces discomfort, visibility, and bold action without getting caught in perfectionism. If this episode resonates with you and you're ready to stop playing small, I'd love to support you inside The Corporate to Coach Accelerator. It's a 12-month hands-on coaching program that helps executive and leadership coaches attract more corporate clients with a marketing and growth strategy you can maintain in under five hours a week. Doors are open until October 30, and early enrollment includes $1,500 off the annual program price. You can book a call with me at elliescarf.com/bookacall or learn more at elliescarf.com/cca. I'll be back next week with more tools, mindset shifts, and strategies to help you grow your executive coaching business with clarity and confidence.

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?

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.

Overview: In this episode of Thriving Practice, Tracy Cherpeski tackles one of the biggest challenges healthcare practice owners face: protecting strategic thinking time in an environment where everything feels urgent. Through the compelling story of Dr. David—an ER physician who opened a regenerative medicine practice—you'll discover why your blocked strategic planning time keeps getting hijacked, and learn the exact framework for distinguishing between genuine urgency and habitual urgency. This is part two of the time leadership series, and it's essential listening for any practice owner who's ever wondered why their "do not disturb" time never actually happens.  Click here for full show notes  Download the Time Leadership Workbook  Episode Highlights:  Why healthcare practice owners are uniquely vulnerable to losing strategic thinking time  The difference between urgency in clinical care versus practice operations  Dr. David's breakthrough: discovering 15 hours per week of delegable tasks through time tracking  The three questions that help you triage your time like an ER triages patients  The ABCD prioritization framework for categorizing tasks and interruptions  How to create decision-making frameworks that eliminate recurring interruptions  Why tracking your time for just three days can reveal patterns you can't unsee  Memorable Quotes:  "Your strategic thinking time doesn't disappear because healthcare is unpredictable. It disappears because you haven't distinguished between what's genuinely urgent and what just feels urgent."  "In clinical settings, urgency often correlates with importance. But here's the trap: you've imported that same urgency response pattern into every aspect of your practice. And in the business side of healthcare, urgency rarely equals importance."  "You cannot fix what you cannot see."  "The question isn't 'is this urgent?' The question is 'is this urgent and only I can handle it right now?' That's a very different standard."  Ready to reclaim your strategic thinking time? This episode gives you the audit framework and prioritization system to start making immediate changes.

In this candid snack episode, Miranda and Tracy explore the critical importance of building intentional professional community as a practice owner. Drawing from Tracy's recently updated blog post "Choosing Your Village" (originally written in 2011), they discuss why independent healthcare providers need more than clinical expertise—they need a village of people who understand the unique challenges of practice ownership.  Click here for full show notes  Episode Highlights  Why community matters more now: The impact of digital connection versus genuine human connection, and how COVID increased isolation for independent practice owners  Village vs. support network: Understanding the difference between personal support and professional community  Energy audit for relationships: How to identify which connections drain you and which ones light you up—and what to do about it  Recovery from burnout: Practical steps for practice owners running on empty, including the WHO's 12 stages of burnout  Incremental progress over perfection: Why starting small (like drinking enough water) creates sustainable change  Memorable Quotes  "I think we are more digitally connected and yet feeling more disconnected. For all humans, we're really feeling that, and COVID really increased our sense of isolation."  "I need professional friends. I need professional colleagues in my world, other business owners... other crazy people who can show you that what you're going through is common, maybe even normal."  "If I'm feeling this way with lots of people, it might be time for me to take a nap and have a snack."  "Mindful means slowing down. Sometimes literally putting my hand on my heart and just checking in."  "It's better, it's more sustainable to start with something that you know you can do. I know I can carry my water bottle around and sip on it all day."  Closing  This episode serves as a gentle reminder that practice ownership doesn't have to be a solitary journey.

On this episode of Healthy Waves, Avik talks with Barbara Palmer, an occupational therapist turned executive & life coach, about MAP (Make Anything Possible)—a neuroscience-informed coaching method aimed at neutralizing limiting beliefs and aligning with a clear inner vision. We dig into how MAP engages the superconscious to dissolve resistance, why “going within” beats chasing external fixes, and practical steps—like mindful journaling and simple meditation—to regain calm, focus, and follow-through. If you're stuck, overwhelmed, or second-guessing your path, this conversation keeps it direct: fewer hacks, more evidence-led inner work that actually shifts behavior.   About the guest  : Barbara Palmer is a Registered & Licensed Occupational Therapist, Certified MAP Practitioner, Executive Coach, Movie Method Transformational Coach, Certified Health Coach, former college professor & program director, and author of “Happy, Healthy, Whole: A Health and Well-Being Workbook.” Through BP Life Coaching Services, LLC (Houston, Texas), she blends neuroscience, psychology, spirituality, and decades of healthcare leadership to help clients re-pattern beliefs and create sustainable change.   Key takeaways  : MAP (Make Anything Possible) in plain terms: a structured, repeatable process that engages the superconscious to identify and clear mindset and memory barriers that block goals. From reaction to intention: lasting change starts by “living from the end”—holding a felt vision of the outcome and letting action follow, instead of chasing external fixes. Compassion beats perfectionism: progress accelerates when you stop self-judgment and build self-respect; how you treat yourself shapes what you can give others. Body–mind–energy connection: thought shifts can reduce reactivity and support better physical regulation; clients often report calmer breathing and less tension after sessions. Starter toolkit for stuck moments: (1) Noticing journal—track thoughts, feelings, triggers, and patterns; (2) Simple meditation—train the mind to rest so you can be present under pressure; (3) MAP on-the-go prompt—a brief inner request to the superconscious before challenging situations to reset state. Coach's edge: Barbara's healthcare + leadership background helps translate deep inner work into practical, team-ready behavior change.   Connect with the guest   You can connect with Barbara Palmer through BP Life Coaching Services, LLC.
