Podcasts about health professionals

If you've ever wondered why the content you're posting on your website, on social media or anywhere isn't getting you more clients signed up for your programs, this episode is a must-listen. One of the most common mistakes health professionals make (one I also made myself early in my career), is giving away too much for free. You're a natural educator and you love helping people, so you share recipes, tips, plans, and strategies… but if you're giving people what feels like a full solution in your free content, they'll walk away thinking they don't need to hire you. In this episode, I'll walk you through: How to know if you're over-teaching in your free content Why action steps, checklists, and “mini plans” can actually hurt your sales The critical difference between free “stepping stone” content and paid content How to create a strategic content plan that turns followers into buyers I'll also share the exact framework I used to go from a struggling health blogger to selling online programs every single day without giving away my best work for free. I also share about an upcoming course I'm hosting live, the Build Your Digital Practice Bootcamp. If you want to finally stop creating endless free content that doesn't convert and start getting clients signed up every day, you need to be here.

Welcome back to The Leveraged Practice Podcast! After a brief pause, I'm back behind the mic to share why I've been intentionally “missing” and what's been happening behind the scenes as I restructure and grow my business on purpose — for profitability, sustainability, and freedom. In this episode, I open up about: Why patience (my least favorite skill!) has become a necessary part of my business evolution The reality of organic growth vs. intentional growth    The behind-the-scenes work I've been doing to create lower-cost offers, build stronger backend systems, and restructure for long-term scalability How business growth without structure can leave practice owners overworked and underpaid — even as their business gets bigger Why it's critical to create multiple access points for clients at different stages while building true client experiences (not just self-study courses) How I'm personally helping health professionals and practice owners grow intentionally    If you've ever felt like your business growth has outpaced your backend structure — or you're stuck in the same place even as more clients come in — this episode will help you reflect on where you are and what the next intentional step might look like.

This episode unpacks the importance of networking for health professionals who want to pivot careers. Years spent in clinical roles often confines health professionals to a siloed environment with limited access to a broader industry network. When you're pivoting out of clinical practice, networking becomes critical as it's more than just ‘meeting people'—it's about opening doors to new ways of thinking, new opportunities, and even a new identity. Clinicians are used to structured environments where roles are clearly defined. But outside of healthcare, career paths aren't always linear, and opportunities often come from conversations rather than job postings.  Networking helps you see what's possible by learning from others who've pursued different paths.  It also helps you find mentors, discover roles you may never have considered, and—most importantly—start being seen as more than your job title. It's one of the most powerful tools for accelerating your pivot. In this episode You will learn: What mindset shifts are needed around networking for clinical professionals What types of networks or people health professionals should connect with outside of clinical settings How to diversify your network when pivoting out of clinical work The best networking strategies or platforms for career pivoters  How to add value to a new network if you're unsure what you bring to the table   Take Action Here are three simple steps you can take this week to start building your network—without overwhelm Reach out to one person you admire who has made a similar pivot Join one new community—this could be a LinkedIn group or a professional association  Update your LinkedIn headline to reflect where you're headed, not just your current role. You don't need a huge network—you need a meaningful one.   MORE WAYS TO CONNECT: Follow our LinkedIn page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/104404906/admin/dashboard/     Join the Movement on Instagram: @lifebeyondclinicalpractice  Connect to our Private Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/897241125152990     Rate and Review the show on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/life-beyond-clinical-practice-healthcare-careers-professional/id1713086617    Book a free Complimentary Call with Dr Diane https://calendly.com/lbcp/complimentary-call      Enjoyed this episode?  We think you'll enjoy this one too https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/89-adaptability-skills-necessary-for-embracing-change/id1713086617?i=1000703428232 

Burnout continues to be a critical challenge in the Australian healthcare system, impacting not only the wellbeing of individual health professionals but also the sustainability of the sector. Despite its prevalence, targeted treatment options have often been limited. As part of The Essential Network (TEN), a blended care mental health support service for Australian health professionals, Black Dog Institute developed Navigating Burnout – a digital cognitive-behavioural therapy program for health professional burnout. In this webinar, Dr. Jan Orman and Dr. Matthew Coleshill discuss treatment options available for health professionals though TEN, as well as ongoing research conducted by The Black Dog Institute examining the effectiveness of Navigating Burnout in reducing burnout among medical practitioners. For more information about TEN, visit https://www.blackdoginstitute.org.au/the-essential-network/

Your title and qualifications don't capture your full career pivot value. In fact, they only tell half of your professional story.  So much of your real value - who you are, what you are passionate about, your career aspirations, etc. are not captured in what is found on your resume. If you've been wondering why you aren't attracting new opportunities, particularly the type of opportunities you want for the next phase of your career, then this episode may be exactly what you need to start your breakthrough. In this episode, I challenge you to ask yourself two questions: “What do I want to be known for?” and “How do I set myself apart professionally?”  I share key strategies that can help you position yourself for a pivot by differentiating your professional profile with a strong personal brand. What you will learn: What is personal branding. Understand the process of strategically managing your public image. Why it's important for health professionals wanting to pivot careers. Importance of showcasing your unique skills, expertise, and value. How to craft a profile that expresses your value, demonstrates your interest and tells the world what you have to offer  Consciously craft your online and offline presence to position yourself for a pivot TAKE ACTION: Spend some time reflecting on these points: Think about whether you have a personal brand and if you think you do, what does it say about you (you can ask others) Audit your digital profiles / online presence (what does it say about you?) If you don't yet have an established personal brand, ask yourself these 2 questions: ‘What do I want to be known for?”  “How do I set myself apart?” Update one part of your online presence this week—your bio, profile photo, or headline—and align it with where you're going professionally,  Start creating your Personal brand today!   MORE WAYS TO CONNECT: Follow Us on Instagram: @lifebeyondclinicalpractice Follow LinkedIn page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/104404906/admin/dashboard/ Join our Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/897241125152990 Rate and Review the show on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/life-beyond-clinical-practice-healthcare-careers-professional/id1713086617 Book a Strategy Call with Dr Diane https://calendly.com/lbcp/strategy-call  Enjoyed this episode?
