Foundations of Amateur Radio Let's start with an observation, I'm a geek, have been all my life. Since my early teenage years that evolved as a predilection for computing. As you might already know, I became a radio amateur to essentially get away from computing. The reality turned out to be something else entirely. I discovered that the time of combining radio and computing had already begun when I joined the community. Like the evolution from spark-gap, through valves, transistors and integrated circuits, radio has come to encompass software, least of which through SDR, or Software Defined Radio. Why least? Over the years I've attempted to explain some of my fascination and wonder with software, but one aspect I've been unable to convey succinctly is the scope of software. I'm not talking about the fact that you find software inside your microwave oven, your car, your bathroom scales, but that hints at what underlies the phenomenon. If you're not familiar with spreadsheets, imagine a blank piece of paper with a grid drawn on it. Inside each square, or cell, you can put anything you want, a number, a label, a picture, a web address, a formula, a colour, borders, you name it. Your imagination is pretty much the only limiting factor. Now, here's where it gets fun. Once you have filled in the first cell, the next one follows. What this means is that once you've made the first decision, the next one becomes a little easier. Every time you make a decision, the number of options you have open to you become less and less, or to use another word, constrained. So what, you ask? Well, unlike a sheet of paper with a grid, a spreadsheet allows you to add rows and columns, at any point in your document. Doing that reduces the constraints, you have more options open to you. You can also add sheets, or even start a completely separate document. In other words, you have a playground open to you that is infinitely flexible. Writing software is like that, with bells on. Now, I'm not going to tell you to start learning how to write software, though truth be told, there's lots of things to like, and admittedly, frustration, that comes with doing so. Let's talk about that frustration. Once you make the first decision, the next one is more constrained. So, if you start with a blank sheet, you have infinite possibilities. Writing software is exactly like that. Here's the frustration. What's the first thing you should decide, because once you do, your options become reduced. So .. Bald Yak, if you're unfamiliar, the Bald Yak project aims to create a modular, bidirectional and distributed signal processing and control system that leverages GNU Radio. That little phrase hides a lot of complexity, but it already contains some constraints. GNU Radio is one, distributed is another and so-on. Let me share with you what my semi-blank piece of paper looks like. I've been quietly working on an idea to use my Pluto SDR to listen to amateur radio repeaters. Not just one, all of them, across 2m and 70cm. I came up with this idea as a real-life project that I'd like to implement with whatever Bald Yak is, or becomes. It has all the bits I care about right now, multiple frequencies, something that goes well and truly beyond what my Yaesu FT-857d can do, it taxes my skill set, it gives me something to make tangible and it hopefully moves the needle on the Bald Yak project. So, here's some variables to consider. The Pluto SDR has a computer on-board. There are reports that people have run GNU Radio programs on the Pluto itself. This is attractive since the amount of data involved with monitoring 2m and 70cm simultaneously is likely to exceed that of the USB port on the device. However, what I don't know is how much actual computing resources doing this will take to achieve and if a Pluto could actually do this. To give you an example. Imagine a massive fire-hose of data coming into my software and then processing that. Between memory and CPU constraints, I can't just decode the stream for each repeater, likely duplicating a whole bunch of calculations. While that consideration is on the table, decoding a dozen narrowband FM streams implies a dozen copies of the FM decoder software. Ideally this would be one actual piece of software, used a dozen times, rather than a dozen separate copies that will individually be maintained if something changes. For example, once I've built this, I might realise that I need to implement FM de-emphasis, a technique implemented in FM broadcasting to, among other reasons, manage artefacts associated with transmitting a signal over FM, perhaps a topic for another day. When you write software you do not want to have copies of the same software in multiple places. To use a spreadsheet equivalent, it's like putting a Tax rate in multiple places across your document, rather than storing it in a cell and referring to it in other formulas. That way, you can change it once and all the calculations will automatically be correct. Same deal with writing software, especially if that software is intended to be used for more than a once off. While that's going on, let me introduce another variable. I have a Pluto SDR, but the whole point of Bald Yak is that I cannot assume that you have one. It's one of the reasons I chose GNU Radio as the basis of this project. While it's unreasonable to expect that a traditional amateur radio transceiver can decode more than one repeater, the same system could potentially be used to decode multiple Morse code signals, something that should be more than possible, essentially replacing the FM decoder with a Morse decoder. Which brings up an example of another variable. How wide do you make the channels? How do you define them? How do you make it possible to modify these without having to update the software, so an end-user can modify something on their screen and see the result? At this point you might notice a couple of things. I have not got any answers, I also don't have all the questions. It's unlikely I'll ever have all the questions, let alone answers, since the nature of this software thing is flexibility. Now, to bring this in full circle, when I say that SDR, or Software Defined Radio isn't just the box that you connect to an antenna, it's the possibilities that this brings, the sheer volume of options that this opens you up to. Now it's your turn. What questions does this bring for you? What sense of wonder can you bring to the table and what opportunities does this expose you to? I'm Onno VK6FLAB

“So if you take any great startup and look backwards, you'll see that 90 percent of their growth came from like 10 percent of the stuff that they tried. So how do you find that 10 percent as quickly as possible?”Matt Lerner has advised hundreds of startups on how to grow. Now, the CEO of SYSTM has written a book called Growth Levers and How to Find Them where he shares his approach. This episode of CRAFTED. is full of actionable advice on how you can grow your products and companies. Matt will tell us about the mindset shift founders need to make from thinking about their products to thinking about their customers needs. We'll talk about jobs-to-be-done (JTBD) style interviewing and why it's such a powerful approach, but also why at first Matt was put off by some of the overly academic language that often goes with jobs. And we'll talk about how you can get new customers to that aha moment as quickly as possible, so they stick with your product. Plus, lots of real talk about founders and the mistakes they make. ---Featured voices:Matt Lerner (Founder and CEO of SYSTM; the book is Growth Levers and How to Find Them)Me (Dan Blumberg) — I'm the host of CRAFTED. and the founder of Modern Product Minds.

Send us a textWhat if the most important leadership job you'll ever hold doesn't come with a test or a title? We sit down with Derek Belch—former Stanford kicker, startup founder, and dad of three—to unpack what real presence looks like, how values take root, and why failing publicly can be a gift to your kids.Derek grew up with parents who made time their superpower. That “time-rich” model frames how he and his wife run the Belch huddle today: clear rules that point to deeper principles, kindness on repeat, and respect for your body and your limits. He shares the tough-love moment that transformed his baseball path at 13, the night he missed four field goals against Notre Dame and chose to show the tape to his kids, and the day he walked off a US AM Golf qualifier mid-shanks—then owned it at home. The throughline is radical accountability: you can't control the bad round, but you can control your response, your repair, and your next rep.We also trace the unlikely origin of STRIVR, Derek's VR training company, born from a Stanford coaching thesis to help quarterbacks process faster. With a nudge from David Shaw, he turned a prototype into a platform used by major enterprises to build skills through immersive learning. Along the way, Derek explains why golf's meritocracy resonates so deeply: the scorecard doesn't care about your résumé, only your work. That mindset fuels his audacious goal to hopefully qualify for a PGA Tour event while leading a startup and coaching four youth teams.If you're a parent, coach, or leader who wants practical ways to model humility, set culture-shaping rules, and turn failure into momentum, this conversation will sharpen your playbook.

The Trump administration is aiming to release its six-part national cybersecurity strategy in January, according to multiple sources familiar with the document. The document, which is a mere five pages long, will possibly be followed by an executive order to implement the new strategy. The administration has been soliciting feedback in recent days, which one source considered more of a “messaging” document than anything, with more important work to follow. According to sources familiar with the strategy, the six “pillars” focus on cyber offense and deterrence; aligning regulations to make them more uniform; bolstering the cyber workforce; federal procurement; critical infrastructure protection; and emerging technologies. An opening section of the draft offers a Trumpian call for a more muscular approach to cyberspace. Despite its short length — the Biden administration's cybersecurity strategy was 35 pages long — it touches on a significant number of topics. Those subjects include cybercrime, China, artificial intelligence, post-quantum cryptography and more. A source told CyberScoop the administration appeared genuinely interested in soliciting feedback on the strategy to incorporate or change. The release date of the strategy is fluid. While the administration is targeting January, its publication might follow the broader national security strategy. In other news: Anthropic's Claude for Government is now available across the Department of Health and Human Services, according to an internal announcement obtained by FedScoop. The launch was announced in an email to staff Wednesday from HHS Deputy Secretary Jim O'Neill, and comes two months after the department made ChatGPT available to all of its workers. O'Neill encouraged workers to use either ChatGPT or Claude for their queries or “ask both and compare the responses.” He said in his email: “HHS users can work confidently and securely, with minimal restrictions on the types of information entered, while maintaining full compliance with federal cybersecurity and privacy standards. With this release, we are ensuring that all divisions, programs, and employees have access to two secure cutting-edge AI capabilities.” The email doesn't mention specific contracting details of how HHS is providing access to the tool, but ChatGPT at least was provided through the company's nearly free OneGov deal with the General Services Administration. Anthropic similarly has such a deal with GSA to offer its services to government customers for a nominal fee of $1. The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.

A bill that would overhaul how the federal government purchases software has found itself in a familiar place: moving forward in the House while awaiting Senate consideration with just a few weeks left in the congressional calendar. The Strengthening Agency Management and Oversight of Software Assets (SAMOSA) Act advanced out of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Tuesday, teeing it up for a vote in the full chamber. The SAMOSA Act, which would direct federal agencies to assess their software licensing practices and streamline future IT buying decisions to avoid duplicative purchases, was reintroduced in the House in September following the Senate's move to do the same in July. The bill passed the House a year ago but stalled out in the upper chamber, despite backing from a host of software and IT trade groups, including the Computer & Communications Industry Association, the Alliance for Digital Innovation, NetChoice, OpenPolicy and the Software Information Industry Association. Congress has been trying to move forward with the SAMOSA Act since at least 2022. House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., noted during Tuesday's markup that the current iteration of the SAMOSA Act is “identical” to what passed the chamber last year. In other news: The Small Business Administration may soon be forced to confront the flawed rollout of an online certification platform it launched late in the Biden administration.The House on Monday passed a bill that would require the SBA to implement nearly a dozen recommendations made in a Government Accountability Office report about the agency's Unified Certification Platform for small business contracting assistance. The lawmakers behind the SBA IT Modernization Reporting Act — Reps. Gil Cisneros, D-Calif., and Brian Jack, R-Ga. — believe the legislation will help the agency avoid various pitfalls that plagued the UCP, helping it better develop and manage digital projects going forward. The UCP project was launched in 2023 with the goal of easing small businesses' interactions with the SBA's contract assistance programs. But deployment of the platform was delayed and applications for certification were paused in August 2024. The UCP went live two months later, but according to the GAO, work to migrate data and secure the system was incomplete. House Small Business Committee Chair Roger Williams said before Monday's vote that the “failed … portal rollout resulted in delays, errors and cybersecurity risks, shutting out small businesses from the vital government contracting opportunities.” The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.

Farmers have grown yields over the years through improved varieties, nutrition and equipment. An emerging frontier involves automation, including robotics and AI. “We believe automation is going to be a whole revolution in farming,” remarked Adam Stager, founder of TRIC Robotics. “It's really the next big thing to drive efficiency on these farms.”One item TRIC has introduced automated, tractor-scale pest and disease control robotics using UV-C light, that was demonstrated at the recent Cal Poly San Luis Obispo Strawberry Field Day. Also on display at the event was a prototype robotic strawberry harvester from L5 Automation.“We've seen a lot of startups attempt this, and a lot of startups have failed,” said Dan Schneider, L5 Director of Software. “We want to make sure that we solve these problems correctly, so that we can harvest all season long. Then we will worry about making the process faster.”Schneider said they expect to harvest trial beds next year, to refine the technology and scale it up to full commercial harvesting. Stager and Schneider said they hope their emerging technologies  will ultimately have application that extends to other crops, in addition to California strawberry fields.

The Department of Heath and Human Services has been leaning into the use of artificial intelligence to drive better health outcomes for the American public, highlighted by the rollout of ChatGPT across the agency early this fall. In particular, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been a leader in generative AI adoption since 2023. And Travis Hoppe, CDC's chief AI officer, believes AI innovation can continue to move the needle on public health operations. Hoppe joined me recently onstage at FedTalks to share the latest on CDC's AI journey, how the Trump administration's AI Action Plan is guiding the agency's implementation and what's next. The National Nuclear Security Administration is looking for information on potential AI uses for its mission, following an executive order to establish an integrated AI platform that will fuel scientific discovery. In a request for information posted to SAM.gov on Monday, the Department of Energy subcomponent that oversees the nation's nuclear stockpile said it's exploring the use of the budding technology, and specifically requested information about its use in classified environments, best practices for data curation, and how to approach developing and enhancing AI models, among other things. The request comes just a week after the Trump administration launched the “Genesis Mission,” aimed at scientific discovery through AI. That effort will not only create an AI platform for such discovery, but it will also depend on the country's existing research and development infrastructure, including DOE and its national labs. To further the Genesis program, NNSA said it's proactively exploring the use of AI for its “critical operations to accelerate nuclear weapons development timelines, ensuring our deterrent remains responsive, effective, and state-of-the-art against evolving global threats.” Software company SAP inked a new agreement with the General Services Administration to offer federal agencies access to its services at significantly discounted rates, deepening its longstanding partnership with the federal government. The GSA announced the OneGov deal Tuesday, stating that the agreement offers up to 80 percent discounts on SAP's database, cloud, and analytics services. The agency estimated this will lead to $165 million in savings for federal agencies. Specifically, agencies will be able to access products related to SAP's database and data management services with an 80 percent discount. SAP's cloud services, including SAP Business Technology Platform, SAP Analytics Cloud and HR Payroll, will be offered at a 35 percent discount, GSA said. Also in this episode: Databricks VP of Public Sector Todd Schroeder joins SNG host Wyatt Kash in a sponsored podcast discussion on why agencies are prioritizing the use of AI that works across existing data environments, saving time and infrastructure costs.

"Very positive growth momentum" helps shape MongoDB's (MDB) growth story, says Luke Yang, though he has a price target for the stock significantly below the current value. He says MongoDB needs to define itself against other growing companies like Snowflake (SNOW) to succeed long-term. Steven Koenig also has a price target below current value for similar reasons. He believes the company needs to use its core business growth by pairing it with A.I. to accelerate future success. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions: Hi Dave and Jamison, I've been in QA/QA automation for 13 years now with a CS degree, and I've been trying to change my role to a software developer for a while. My only issue is that every time I brought my career aspirations to my managers they seemed to “not care” or give vague answers to “kick the can down the road”. In the past I fully demonstrated I can do the work by submitting bug fixes, writing and deploying a few microservices by myself (all product feature work), on top of performing my QA duties. I get high marks in my performance reviews, but that doesn't seem to be enough! I also seem to attract some resentment from my team (silently but it's noticed) as they see a QA trying to soak up their dev work and I get a strong “stay in your lane” vibe. I do it to help them, not take all of their work. Any advice? Am I approaching this the wrong way? And what would you do in my situation? Thanks and all the best! Hi! Three years ago, I relocated from a third-world country to Europe for work. I tend to undersell myself a lot. I know I am a competent, hard-working, and smart engineer. I have strong opinions and can evaluate trade-offs. I can participate in discussions about complex systems, and I have experience managing projects. But sometimes I'm afraid of looking dumb and scared of confrontation. This means I rarely voice my opinions or suggestions. I often let go of them at the slightest objection, even if I believe the other person is mistaken. Whenever I speak or comment on a subject in Slack, I always use phrases like “I'm not 100% sure”, “as far as I remember”, or “I have to look it up but I think … “. These would not matter If I was showing my confidence through other means like participating in discussions confidently, but these all add up to create an image of someone reliable in getting things done, but not reliable at taking more responsibility. I was not like this before moving. Occasionally I struggle with the language when in big meetings or talking about complex matters, but I'm comfortable with English. It has an effect for sure, but it is not the cause. I'm going to start a new position and I want to have a longer career there. But I'm afraid that I can not give myself the head start I know I'm capable of. How can I improve my own personal onboarding process and let my new colleagues and manager know how lucky they are to have me on their team?

See also: elf: Advent of Code CLI helper for Python Michael #2: Django 6 is coming Expected December 2025 Django 6.0 supports Python 3.12, 3.13, and 3.14 Built-in support for the Content Security Policy (CSP) standard is now available, making it easier to protect web applications against content injection attacks such as cross-site scripting (XSS). The Django Template Language now supports template partials, making it easier to encapsulate and reuse small named fragments within a template file. Django now includes a built-in Tasks framework for running code outside the HTTP request–response cycle. This enables offloading work, such as sending emails or processing data, to background workers. Email handling in Django now uses Python's modern email API, introduced in Python 3.6. This API, centered around the email.message.EmailMessage class Brian #3: Advanced, Overlooked Python Typing get_args, TypeGuard, TypeIs, and more goodies Michael #4: codespell Learned from this PR for the Talk Python book. Fix common misspellings in text files. It's designed primarily for checking misspelled words in source code (backslash escapes are skipped), but it can be used with other files as well. It does not check for word membership in a complete dictionary, but instead looks for a set of common misspellings. Therefore it should catch errors like "adn", but it will not catch "adnasdfasdf". It shouldn't generate false-positives when you use a niche term it doesn't know about. Extras Brian: Is mkdocs maintained? Hatch 1.16 Michael: Follow up on tach from Gerben Dekker: tach has been unmaintained for a bit but is not anymore. It was the main product from Gauge which is a Y combinator startup that pivoted to something unrelated and abandoned tach. However, https://github.com/DetachHead forked it but now got access to the main repo and has committed to maintaining it. ruff analyze graph is fully independent of tach - we actually started to look into alternatives for tach when it became unmaintained and then found ruff analyze graph. For our use case, with just a bit of manipulation on top of ruff analyze graph we replaced our use of deptry (which was slower - and I try to be careful depending on one-man projects).

In this podcast Michael Stiefel spoke with David Blank-Edelman about the relationship between software architecture and site reliability engineering. Site reliability engineering can give architecture vital feedback about how the system actually behaves in production. Architects and designers can then learn from their failures to improve their ability to build systems that can evolve, gracefully degrade, and, at the right time, be taken out of production. Reliability, just like latency, throughput, and durability, is an emergent property of a system. Hence the search for a root cause for a failure is counter-productive, and is not likely to produce a reliable system. One often has to look for what went right, as opposed to what went wrong. Software reliability engineers and architects need to embrace a mutual curiosity of how a system really works and fails in the real world.

What do swamp volleyball, software debugging, and self-doubt have in common? A lot more than you'd think. In this episode, Anne sits down with Kari Sipinen (https://www.linkedin.com/in/kari-sipinen), a Finnish-born engineer, world-champion swamp volleyball player, and all-around discomfort-zone explorer, who has turned mud, mistakes, and mindfulness into a philosophy for life.Kari shares how wading waist-deep in the muck during the World Championship of Swamp Volleyball taught him about teamwork, humility, and the magic of taking action even when you can't see solid ground. (Spoiler: sometimes the best life lessons happen when you're stuck in the mud—literally.)Drawing from his work as an embedded software engineer, Kari compares debugging to personal growth—each problem is like peeling an onion, revealing new layers of understanding beneath the surface. He unpacks his love of intuition—which he describes as being “in learning”—and how listening to your inner data can lead to surprising breakthroughs.In This EpisodeThe connection between engineering, intuition, and personal growthWhy curiosity matters more than confidenceWhy he call it “imposter phenomenon” (not syndrome)How turning on your metaphorical flashlight helps you illuminate the next step toward your dreams.Beyond engineering, Kari is a champion on and off the court, winning the Swamp Volleyball World Championship in 2019 and sharing his love of music through a 62+ hour Spotify playlist. An ordinary Savonian with a Renaissance spirit, he is committed to legacy, openness, and intellectual humility.Please join me in welcoming to the stage — Kari Sipinen!

Your new hire shadows for a few days. You walk them through a checklist. They learn the software. Then what? Everyone hopes they “figure it out.” A month later, the doctor is frustrated. The team is stressed. The new hire feels like they’re failing. The problem isn’t effort. The problem is this: you’re treating training like a checkbox instead of a culture. Why One Time Training Kills Growth When training is an event, your practice stays stuck in reaction mode. You only coach after mistakes, complaints, or resignations. By then, you’re cleaning up fires instead of building people. Here’s the pattern that plays out in most practices. A new hire gets paired with your “strongest” team member. That leader is already buried in their own workload, so they show shortcuts instead of deep explanations. The new person picks up just enough to stay afloat. Everyone assumes the job is done. But orthodontic practices don’t stay still. Systems change. Software updates. Patient expectations rise. Insurance rules shift. If your team never gets space and structure for continuous learning, they’ll keep doing what they’ve always done. Even when you need something completely different. The emotional toll is real too. Without clear expectations for days 30, 60, and 90, a new hire never knows if they’re winning. They catch feedback only when something breaks. They sense the doctor’s frustration but not the reason. That builds anxiety fast. High performers burn out because they’re constantly training others on the fly. Low performers coast because nobody defined what success actually looks like. Patient experience becomes a coin flip. One family gets a red carpet welcome. The next one gets a rushed check-in from someone who can’t answer basic questions. That’s how training problems quietly become culture problems. Then turnover problems. Then growth hits a ceiling. The Shift — Training As Intentional Culture Flip the switch with one decision. Training isn’t something you check off. It’s something you build into how your practice breathes every single day. Stop playing defense. Start playing offense. Instead of coaching around fires, set a rhythm. Define what someone should know and do at 30, 60, and 90 days. Block time for one on ones, coaching, and questions. Make it clear that learning isn’t just for new hires. It’s for everyone, all the time. This doesn’t require a massive time commitment. Everyone has the same hours in a day. The difference is what leaders choose to prioritize. A 15-minute check-in each week with a key team member can prevent dozens of hours of upset patients, staff gossip, and repeated mistakes. When training becomes your culture, you stop expecting people to just know. You start expecting them to grow. Design Training For Real Humans Here’s another trap. The assumption that everyone learns the same way. Shadowing is valuable. It’s not enough on its own. Some people need hands-on practice with guidance. Others need to talk it through and ask questions. Others need written steps they can review later. When training is generic and rushed, it drains both trainer and trainee. Neither one walks into the next session excited. Mix observation with hands-on work. Break complex processes into smaller wins and celebrate progress along the way. Make room for questions and curiosity, not just lectures. Draw a parallel to continuing education for doctors. Clinicians don’t take one course early in their career and call it done. They keep learning because standards of care change. Your team needs the same commitment. Front Desk staff, Clinical Assistants, and Treatment Coordinators need ongoing growth to stay aligned with what patients expect today, not five years ago. When your entire team is engaged in learning, the practice feels alive. People aren’t just clocking in. They’re getting better. One Role, One Story, Real Transformation Redefining a single role can transform both a person and your whole practice. Picture this. A Front Desk team member has been parked in a corner with an unspoken message: just sit there, answer phones, check people in. Her title reflects it. Her daily experience reflects it. Over time, she internalized the message and operated at that level. Instead of replacing her, reframe the role. Change her title to something like “Patient Satisfaction Specialist” or “First Impression Expert.” Train her on how to stand and greet, how to introduce herself by name, how to guide families through your lobby, and how to create warm, personal phone calls. The shift was immediate. She owned the lobby experience. Patients got greeted with eye contact and genuine care. New callers heard enthusiasm. The Front Desk stopped being a transactional checkpoint. It became a hospitality station that set the tone for everything else. Better greetings and more thoughtful calls helped with retention and reviews. Clinical teams faced less friction because patients already felt cared for before sitting in the chair. Every role in your practice can be a growth lever if you define its purpose and train to that purpose. When people understand the why behind their tasks, accountability stops feeling like punishment. It becomes a badge of pride. Watch how this plays out in daily moments. A team member notices a parent looks cold and offers a blanket without being asked. An assistant remembers a song a patient mentioned and queues it up next visit. A coordinator recognizes a nervous family and slows down to address their real fears. These aren’t random kindnesses. They’re the natural outcome of people who understand their role in the patient journey and feel empowered to act. The Cadence That Works You don’t need a complex training program to make this happen. You need something structured and simple. The heartbeat of this is one on ones. Team huddles matter. Staff meetings are valuable. But nothing replaces looking someone in the eye and talking directly about their experience, their goals, and their growth. Schedule a 15-minute weekly check-in. Ask what’s going well, where they’re struggling, and what support they need. Because this rhythm stays consistent, those conversations feel safe. They signal investment, not trouble. Add a 30-minute monthly development conversation. Review what happened over the past few weeks. Connect performance to specific behaviors and decisions. Talk through real cases, what worked, what could shift next time. Let them use you as a sounding board to brainstorm. Step into a 60-minute quarterly growth conversation. Widen the lens. Discuss personal goals, where they want to grow, and how that connects to where the practice is heading. Treat these as pivot points, moments to reset focus and clarify the next cycle. Start every meeting with what’s working. Make team members feel seen and valued before you talk about gaps. That shift alone primes the conversation for openness and kills the fear that a one on one means they’re “in trouble.” Over time, your team will look forward to these meetings because they feel like real investment. Your 90-Day Action Plan You don’t need to be perfect to start. You need consistency. First, audit how training actually happens right now. Where do new hires get information? Who do they shadow? When do you check-in after week one or two? Where do issues usually surface, front desk or clinic or consultations? Don’t judge. Just observe. The goal is to see the gap between what you intend and what your team actually experiences. Second, pick one role. Maybe it’s the Front Desk. Maybe it’s a Clinical Assistant or Treatment Coordinator. Pick the area where confusion or turnover has been most obvious. For that role, write down what you expect someone to know and do at 30, 60, and 90 days. Keep it simple and rooted in reality, communication, patient experience, and key responsibilities. Third, put a cadence on the calendar. Schedule a 15 minute weekly check-in and a 30-minute monthly conversation for the next three months. Decide right now that you’ll start each meeting by asking what’s going well. That one habit changes the tone more than anything else. Listen closely during those conversations. Where does this person feel unclear, undervalued, or underused? What part of their role do they love? Where do they feel least confident? Invite them to share ideas for improving patient experience or efficiency in their area. Then empower them to run one small experiment. Maybe it’s a new greeting script. Maybe it’s a comfort station with blankets and stress toys for anxious families. Maybe it’s better follow-up on pending treatment plans. Define what success looks like together and decide how you’ll measure it. At day 90, step back and compare. How is this person performing now? How has their confidence shifted? What’s the impact on patients or the rest of your team? Use those insights to refine the cadence and roll it out to the next role. The Practice You Build Training problems aren’t solved by one more manual or a longer orientation. They’re solved when training becomes a living part of how your practice operates. When you move from one time training to ongoing coaching, everything shifts. Team members feel valued instead of disposable. Expectations are crystal clear instead of vague. Accountability feels like empowerment instead of punishment. Patients feel the difference the moment they walk through your door. They see it in a genuine greeting. They hear it in a caring voice. They feel it when someone remembers their name or anticipates what they need. As your team grows, your practice grows. Turnover drops. Reviews climb. Your days stop feeling like fire drills and start feeling like purposeful, predictable progress. You don’t need a perfect system. You only need to decide that training is no longer a box to check. Choose one role. Set a simple cadence. Have the conversations. Let continuous coaching become the heartbeat of your culture. Start this week.
