I have a super special guest today that I'm pretty dang excited about. I'm joined by the one, the only Dr. Melissa Hall! That is right, my biz bestie is back! (At least for today!)The reason we wanted to do this episode together, besides it being more fun is that we're going to talk about an ADHD strategy for getting things done. And you know, both of us have ADHD. We specialize in ADHD. We love supporting our ADHD community.So if you're about to tune out because you don't have ADHD, do not worry. The strategy actually works for everyone and it can be really helpful, but it's particularly helpful for all of our neuro-diverse peeps out there. Today we are doing a deep dive on body doubling. Body Doubling is one of those things that sounds so simple but it is a really great strategy. It may have been something that you are already doing and not even aware of it. I actually just kind of intuitively did this without knowing that I was doing this well before I understood, or even before I knew I had ADHD or that this strategy is actually a thing. We're going to talk about different ways to utilize the strategy and kind of our experience of things that do work and don't work so well.We go into what is Body Doubling, how to structure it, what can make it not as effective and why we think you should give it a shot. (It's research based ya'll).If you want to try it out with a pro, head on over to amberhawey.com/innercircle to learn all about the Inner Circle where we cowork EVERY month.Dr. Maelisa Hall is a licensed psychologist, nail design enthusiast, and multi-passionate entrepreneur.

Are the questions you ask during a discovery call getting you what you need? Listen as Nikki coaches her guest, Maelisa Hall, about the questions she should include plus some ideas on how to draw clients to the packages she recommends. Nikki is a sales strategist and coach with over twenty-five years of sales experience, and she is here to offer you tips, techniques, and strategies to help you master the sales conversation. Dr. Maelisa Hall is a licensed psychologist, nail design enthusiast, and multi-passionate entrepreneur. As the owner of two businesses, My Digital Maven and QA Prep, she empowers other therapists by consulting on SEO and online marketing and providing continuing education courses on clinical documentation. Whether it's websites or paperwork, Maelisa focuses on the "why" behind the usual recommendations and encourages clinicians to think outside the box, while also keeping their ethics intact. Nikki shares ways Maelisa can promote her higher-end packages while still giving her clients exactly what they need. Listen as they discuss ideas on how to ask more leading questions during the discovery call, laying out the packages in a more thought-provoking way and how to show them why they should go with the one you recommend. "The sales process isn't about trying to convince someone to do something; it's about giving them the options that will meet their needs." "Create curiosity when you are talking about your products or services." These are just a few of the nuggets of genius that Nikki shares with us, but you will have to listen to hear the rest. If you are struggling with what to ask during a discovery call, you can't miss this episode.   In This Episode: [01:10] Welcome to the show, Maelisa! [01:23] Maelisa shares about her online business that focuses on teaching therapists SEO techniques for marketing. [02:59] She discusses the ethics around the way therapists can market their businesses. [04:23] Maelisa has a question about her website for Nikki about her pricing and packages. [05:51] Maelisa explains the different packages she offers and the options included in each. [08:20] Maelisa asks Nikki how she can sell more of the options B package. [09:51] In the discovery call, are you asking leading questions that are setting them up so that when you lay out the options, it makes sense that they need package B? [10:06] Nikki gives examples of what she means by leading questions. [11:42] Nikki suggests that Maelisa might need to look at her discovery questions. [12:40] Let the prospective client know which package you recommend and let them know why you think it would work best for them. [15:23] The sales process isn't about trying to convince anybody to do something; it's more about giving them the options that will meet their needs. [16:08] Do you know how to create curiosity when you are talking about your products or services? [16:38] Nikki suggests that Maelisa always starts with the bigger option first, working your way down. [18:56] What do I say if a client asks if they can start with option A but move to option B later? [20:49] Maelisa believes that asking more about the prospective clients' business will allow her to advise them better on which package they need. [22:21] Asking the client what they already know about SEO enables you to talk to them about what they need to know. [24:07] Maelisa, please let me know how your next discovery call goes. [24:16] What is one benefit you have received from being a part of the Sales Maven Society?

Welcome to the Inspired Therapist Podcast! Today Leanne is joined by Maelisa Hall from QA Prep to talk to teach us how to make our documentation more meaningful. As therapists we take notes for every session with a client. It can become a little difficult to manage so many notes, but Maelisa has some tips to streamline the process. She recommends using a collaborative documentation process which will benefit both the therapist and the client. It helps us because we can get really valuable information from taking the last 5 minutes of the session to review with the client what their key take aways were. And it helps the client because they don’t secretly worry you’re writing notes that you think they are crazy. Clients felt empowered and became more involved. Mostly importantly, if we involve the client in the process of recalling the discoveries of the session and giving them the opportunity to review in their own minds the things they’ve learned they’ll make faster progress. As you know, our memories are more strongly linked to the act of recalling an event than actually experiencing the event.

Do you use social media to get advice or recommendations from friends, colleagues, acquaintances or groups of like minded business owners? I see it every day… People will post a question asking for recommendations for service providers and for software or tools. There are two topics of discussion here, let's break down the software or tools question first. Let's say it says : “What software should I use for courses?” Such a simple question… And there will be a myriad of answers. Some top picks that will be in the list are Thinkific, Kajabi, MemberVault, Teachable and the list will then go on to include WordPress plugins like Lifter LMS and Wishlist Member and it will go further and someone will suggest using email marketing to deliver the content. All valid answers… But... Here's the biggest concern I have with this approach: the people who are responding may not know anything about you, your business, your zone of genius or your style of work. People who respond with their recommendations are doing the best that they can and have the best of intentions. It's simply that without looking at you tech stack, goals, team and creation style, there is no way of knowing which one will be best for you, your team and your audience. Crowd-sourcing can only take us so far. The rest of the way to making a decision takes effort from you. What if, instead of the crowd sourcing approach, you had a reliable adviser who could do all the leg work for you. The results of this approach are measurable. It all saves time… And time is something we cannot create more of. There will be no need to sift through the responses and determine which tools to evaluate further. No need to do cost-value analysis. And no need to look at how each new tool may or may not fit into your existing tech stack. But Jaime, I don't have a trusted tech adviser… I beg to differ… You're listening to the tech of business podcast and are a member of the tech of business community, so I'm you're unofficial adviser! To work with me in an official way, let's get a tech breakthrough session on the calendar… Go to https://techofbusiness.com/work-with-me/ and click on the Tech Breakthrough button. Let's put this in perspective... would you ever ask a florist to design your kitchen? ask your bookkeeper to design your website? rely on my best friend's opinion on the layout of your office matter at all? So why then does their opinion matter when it comes to the tech that you use in your business? Those are quite abstract, so let's flip that on its side to make it a bit more relevant and we'll ask the question again… What if your florist just worked with a store front designer, would you then feel confident asking them to help you design your kitchen? What if your bookkeeper used to build websites? What about if my best friend was your exact avatar? Would that change how their opinions are taken? Perhaps they would -- but wouldn't it be far better to ask them privately. You'll be sure to get their opinion and have an actual conversation with them. And that is what makes it different than the crowd-sourcing I've seen so much lately. I'm not bashing the crowd-sourcers nor the crowd giving the feedback, I'm showing that there is a better way. It's faster, has a great success rate and higher ROI. Let's look at the second version of this question… “Who do you recommend as a business coach?” Whoa! That's quite a tough question to answer on a social media post. I could probably list 10 different coaches in answer to that question, because I love connecting with business coaches. But which one or two to tag or mention on your post… Well, I'd have to dig into what I think you need in your business and cross reference that with my favorite coaches. What if my assumptions are wrong? What if you need a life coach or branding expert instead of a business coach? See how quickly a crowd-sourcing question can lead us all astray? I said it earlier, don't get me wrong… Asking for recommendations and suggestions is FABULOUS. It's more a matter of asking trusted advisers rather than opening up a door to everyone else's experiences and opinions. So, when is crowd-sourcing a good option? In this versus that scenarios like, “I've narrowed my course platform down to two options (A) and (B). What is your least favorite thing about each of them? And please do not provide any alternatives, I'm too far down the evaluation to add any new options.” In this case, asking for the shortcomings of both options will help you figure out if there is a big issue you might have overlooked. My friends Amber Hawley and Maelisa Hall host the My Biz Bestie podcast. On episode 33 (season 3, episode 1) they share the 6 areas of your life that create your business support system. Here's the link to that episode: The 6 Areas of Your Life That Create Your Business Support System #33 What I love so much about what Amber an Maelisa have done is that they break down in order of importance who we are best asking advice from. These six are yourself, your biz bestie, your inner circle, your team, your loved ones and your community. So instead of going to the outer ring of our support system first and ask for recommendations from social media, start from the core and work your way out. I suspect that most beneficial suggestions and feedback will come from your biz bestie or your inner circle. Amber and Maelisa describe the inner circle as The inner circle could be people in a mastermind, mentors, collaborators, or simply people you are close to. Your inner circle is a group of people that you share your wins with and they have seen the progress that you have made in your business. I'd be honored to be part of your inner circle. Engage with me in the tech of business community, send me an email to Jaime@techofbusiness.com, comment on my Instagram posts (I'm @techofbusiness) And when you want to make it official, book a tech strategy session! From time to time I also host office hours and open online chats on my schedule. I always send announcements for those to my email subscribers (click here to subscribe: https://techofbusiness.com/quickcheck/) Thank you for hanging out with me on the tech of business podcast.

Perhaps they would -- but wouldn’t it be far better to ask them privately. You’ll be sure to get their opinion and have an actual conversation with them. And that is what makes it different than the crowd-sourcing I’ve seen so much lately. I’m not bashing the crowd-sourcers nor the crowd giving the feedback, I’m showing that there is a better way. It’s faster, has a great success rate and higher ROI. Let’s look at the second version of this question… “Who do you recommend as a business coach?” Whoa! That's quite a tough question to answer on a social media post. I could probably list 10 different coaches in answer to that question, because I love connecting with business coaches. But which one or two to tag or mention on your post… Well, I'd have to dig into what I think you need in your business and cross reference that with my favorite coaches. What if my assumptions are wrong? What if you need a life coach or branding expert instead of a business coach? See how quickly a crowd-sourcing question can lead us all astray? I said it earlier, don't get me wrong… Asking for recommendations and suggestions is FABULOUS. It's more a matter of asking trusted advisers rather than opening up a door to everyone else's experiences and opinions. So, when is crowd-sourcing a good option? In this versus that scenarios like, “I've narrowed my course platform down to two options (A) and (B). What is your least favorite thing about each of them? And please do not provide any alternatives, I'm too far down the evaluation to add any new options.” In this case, asking for the shortcomings of both options will help you figure out if there is a big issue you might have overlooked. My friends Amber Hawley and Maelisa Hall host the My Biz Bestie podcast. On episode 33 (season 3, episode 1) they share the 6 areas of your life that create your business support system. Here's the link to that episode: The 6 Areas of Your Life That Create Your Business Support System #33 What I love so much about what Amber an Maelisa have done is that they break down in order of importance who we are best asking advice from. These six are yourself, your biz bestie, your inner circle, your team, your loved ones and your community. So instead of going to the outer ring of our support system first and ask for recommendations from social media, start from the core and work your way out. I suspect that most beneficial suggestions and feedback will come from your biz bestie or your inner circle. Amber and Maelisa describe the inner circle as The inner circle could be people in a mastermind, mentors, collaborators, or simply people you are close to. Your inner circle is a group of people that you share your wins with and they have seen the progress that you have made in your business. I'd be honored to be part of your inner circle.

I talk to my biz bestie and psychologist Dr. Maelisa Hall about how ADHD impacts running a business and relationship. 

I talk to my biz bestie and psychologist Dr. Maelisa Hall about how ADHD impacts running a business and relationship. 

Maelisa Hall owns QA Prep, where she provides education and support to other therapists through her Meaningful Documentation Academy.  She’s been a therapist for over a decade and through QA Prep, she’s able to help other therapists with one of the biggest pains of their practices...the paperwork.  In her Academy, they receive valuable ways to get their administration and paperwork done quickly, effectively and meaningfully.   She’s done such a great job building her business, in fact, that she and her husband are making a big life change...they’re selling all their things and moving their life onto a sailboat, where they will eventually be sailing from port to port.  Talk about lifestyle design, huh?   During this LIVE COACHING CALL, Maelisa’s asking for practical ways she can manage her time better so she can still build her business in 3 days a week...because that’s the amount of time she’ll have to dedicate to her business in the first phases of this change.     We discuss…   How to revisit your end of the year goals and how to re-prioritize them (you can use the Decision-Making Matrix tool to do this easily! http://bizwomenrock.com/decision) A great way to break down those big goals into tasks that you can then place in the appropriate timelines How to create your ideal week schedule and how to time block so you know when you’re doing what How to put it all together so you can be more productive in 24 hours per week than you are in 60 hours per week!   You can check out more about Maelisa here → https://www.qaprep.com/ These LIVE COACHING SESSIONS are here so you can get deep insight into business issues, ideas and challenges that we all face as we create strategies, solutions and action plans that you can benefit from!  It's also a great way to see just how transformative it can be to allow another qualified person into your business so you can save time, money and energy that you would normally take figuring it out on your own!  We're in this together! If you are interested in private coaching and strategy, then let’s talk!  You can set up a 15 Minute Match Session to see if we’re a perfect match! ;) http://bizwomenrock.com/workwithkatie/ ***   *** If you asked me what tool has been the most impactful for my business, I would without a doubt tell you it’s been MEDITATION.  Meditating has been a way for me to get quiet with myself and hear my inner voice who always knows what’s best for me.  Let’s face it, we women entrepreneurs are bombarded with social media feeds, events and so called experts telling us what we “should” do to grow out business and have success.  But at the end of the day, WE each know what the right moves are for us in order to feel truly fulfilled and aligned in our companies.   This is why I created the Meditation for Women Podcast...so that you can have a powerful tool, created with YOU IN MIND to help you hear your inner voice, find peace in moments of high anxiety and ultimately take the next best steps in your journey as a woman.  So go check it out! Just search for Meditation for Women in Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen to this show and if you love it, subscribe, rate and review it! I would love to share this gift of meditation with you as you continue your beautiful journey!   Click HERE to check out Meditation for Women → https://goo.gl/m5YsKx   ***   Today’s show is brought to you by Active Campaign, the only email marketing system you’ll ever need.  After 9 years with the same email marketing provider, I was desperately searching for one that was simple, easy to manage and affordable.  Active Campaign easily stood out above the rest and I’ve been ridiculously happy with them ever since I made the switch! Emailing my community and creating automation series for special resources has never been so simple!     Whether you’re ready to start your first email marketing set up or you’re searching for a new provider, I highly recommend Active Campaign!  Go check them out at http://BizWomenRock.com/ac

Amber Hawley is the CEO of Fremont Counseling Services, who specializes in Couples Therapy.  She’s had her company since 2011 and started hiring employees 2 years later. I recently watched from afar as Amber hired - and happily bragged about - two amazing new employees and knew she was in the process of hiring four more!   So I asked her to come on and share a bit about her process...how she attracts and hires great employees.     During this conversation, Amber shares her step by step process and intention behind each of those steps.     She talks about...   Marketing - streamlined ways of making the position public and letting others know she was hiring. The application process - unique things she does to help weed through all the wrong people. Hiring - what she focuses on during each interview and how she standardizes them. Onboarding - how she ensures her employees ease into their positions. Mindset - shifting her paradigm of her position in her company as her team grows! This is a fascinating case study, not just of Amber’s best practices, but also of all the painful mistakes she’s made (as we all have!) that continue to help her evolve as the leader of her company!   Side note: Amber is also the owner of CouplesFix.com where she shares her knowledge and tools as a Licensed Marriage Therapist with a larger world of people who are searching for it.  http://couplesfix.com/   And, she is also the co-host of the My Biz Bestie Podcast, alongside Maelisa Hall, which is amazing! https://www.mybizbestie.com/

Download Podcast In this episode of the Practice of Therapy Podcast, Gordon has a conversation with Amber Hawley, LMFT and Dr. Maelisa Hall about developing business relationships and support systems in private practice.  Amber and Maelisa talk about being able to connect with people that are in similar places in their journey and how it has helped their practices thrive and grow. They talk about how getting together with others for support has increased their productivity and ability to focus in their businesses. Meet Amber Hawley Group psychotherapy practice owner, licensed marriage and family therapist, business coach, ENFP, mom of three kids and avid coffee drinker.   You can find out more about Amber at: www.amberhawley.com www.couplesfix.com www.fremontcounselingservices.com Meet Dr. Maelisa Hall Licensed psychologist, consultant and trainer, online biz owner, ENFP, wife, cat owner and nail design enthusiast. You can find out more about Maelisa at: www.qaprep.com www.maeunleashed.com Maelisa and Amber met in an online book club that turned into an annual business retreat held with seven other female colleagues. After this they connected over being ENFPs with ADHD and their friendship grew into a biz bestie relationship. Together they started their podcast, My Biz Bestie, which helps other female biz owners find their support system and have more fun as entrepreneurs. Amber and Maelisa have a podcast, “My Biz Bestie” (https://www.mybizbestie.com/podcast/) where they talk about the struggles of being female business owners and how they have been able to develop meaningful relationships for support. Know Yourself Well Part of success in private practice, or any business for that matter, comes from knowing yourself well and knowing your limits.  You need also know what you need to help you be successful. Everyone obviously has different needs. But by knowing yourself well, you can connect with those people that can truly be of support. Relationships Are Key One of the difficulties of being in private practice, especially as a solo provider, is that it can quickly become very isolating.  Isolation can lead to stagnation and slow growth (We see it all the time with our clients…) But by having significant friendships and business relationships, a person can increase their success exponentially.  These are relationships that are deeper and not at all superficial. Parallel Processes One phenomenon of drawing on supports and having “biz besties” is that a parallel process occurs.  Much like it is in supervision, by being on parallel or tandem journeys people can learn from each other.  Not only learn about others that you are in relationship with, but also learn about yourself from them. Amber mentions that we can have all different kinds of friendships. Friends for a reason, a season or a lifetime.  As we know, no single person can be everything to us. We have relationships on a lot of different fronts depending on the context. Be Willing To Put Yourself Out There Not all of us are necessarily wired as “extroverts”, like Amber and Maelisa.  So it takes a bit of courage to put yourself out there and develop those relationships.  But once you take that first step, it becomes easier to connect with a lot of different people. When we know we are not alone, it is easier to take some necessary risks with your practice. Technology Can Keep Us Connected Amber and Maelisa talked about the fact that they live on opposite ends of their state (California) and that distance is really not a problem.  They do talk almost daily and bounce ideas off each other. They do however get together frequently since it is only a one flight between their cities.

Welcome to episode 126 of the Therapy Chat Podcast with host Laura Reagan, LCSW-C. Today Laura speaks to Dr. Maelisa Hall about how much is too much for a therapist to share in a session? Dr. Maelisa Hall is a licensed clinical psychologist and her passion is to help therapists create rock-solid documentation so they can spend more time with their clients and less time worrying about paperwork.  After eight years working in mental health agencies, she started her own company to help therapists learn how to make documentation flow naturally, decrease their workload and be confident in all their paperwork. She shows clinicians that paperwork is a valuable part of therapy and that it doesn’t have to be slow and painful! You’ll have more time to work with clients because you’ll know you can take on the paperwork no problem. Maelisa consults with psychotherapists in private practice, agencies and group practices to teach them things like how to write great notes, what to consider if insurance is involved, how to document high-risk issues and what forms they actually need for their clientele. Training is her passion so she has created online programs that help connect therapists so they can learn from any place at any time. Her goal is make everything she does serve a real need so she makes sure to include plenty of real-life examples and interactive exercises in every workshop she creates.

Dr. Maelisa Hall shares her experiences of traditional education and homeschooling. We discuss how the personalised learning available at home can be used to positive effect in the classroom. (https://www.educationonfire.com/038-dr-maelisa-hall-shares-experience-traditional-education-homeschooling-discuss-personalised-learning-available-home-can-used-classroom/unknown/) Having met Maelisa at Podcast Movement in California during August, we chatted about our respective podcasts. I thought Maelisa’s understanding of both school and homeschool would make an interesting conversation in my season 3 ‘What do children think about their schooling?’ I have been talking to children currently in school, but talking to an adult with a mixture of schooling experiences gave a different perspective. On the podcast we talk about the positives of both options, how flexibility became very important for their family and how the understanding of personalised learning can benefit children. Community plays a big part in our learning, so does our family. Discussing these issues brings up some very interesting ideas that you can implement in your own school or classroom. Maelisa has a new podcast launching in October 2017 called My Biz Bestie (https://www.mybizbestie.com)  about how having a biz bestie and support system can increase your profits! You can find her on twitter at @HallMaelisa (https://twitter.com/hallmaelisa?lang=en)   For more information about season 3 visit www.EducationOnFire.com (https://www.educationonfire.com/home/)   Support this podcast

One of the top questions I get from therapists who are interested in Online Therapy is: What does my Informed Consent form need to include? And along those lines – is it a separate form or can I just add specific language to my face to face informed consent? It's a great question, because all along I've been an advocate for an ethical approach to tele-mental health and the informed consent form / process is an important consideration. So as always, when faced with a question – we go to the experts. Maelisa Hall is the founder of QA Prep – which is an incredibly valuable site that educates therapists about documentation requirements and the latest developments. She has tons of free information on her blog and she has a paperwork packet for sale that has templates and guidelines – that is totally worth the price. She has a passion for helping therapists do their paperwork and fully understands that we don't really like doing it! She even has group support to help us catch up when we get behind. She is wonderful guest and I'm so thrilled to have her on the show to talk about how we can have great informed consents forms for our online therapy practices.   www.qaprep.com
