Starting your own practice can feel like standing at the edge of a cliff. You know the potential that lies ahead, but taking that first step is filled with uncertainty and fear.
In this video, I sat down with Dr. Casey Schack, a physical therapist and Coaches Club member, to talk about her journey ...
“I would have contacted you, but I didn’t have any concrete action steps or questions, so I didn’t want to waste your time,” She replied to me reaching out to see if she wanted a mentor meeting.
I asked if she was stuck. She said, “Yes, I don’t know my next step.” We met and it turned out to be one...
I think one of the saddest things for me is when people don't believe that they can have a great career, that they can have, you know, life balance, that they can have, you know, loving going to work every day. And that's part of what Coaches Club does, Is it really transforms a mindset so that you ...
Anyone that knows me won’t be surprised when I say that I had one of the best weeks. To be fair, I frequently have great weeks. My superpower is a positivity that is able to turn a bad week into at least a decent one. But that’s not what made this past week so awesome.Â
The week was extremely busy...
I had a feeling, but I couldn’t articulate it.
I had a blast, but I didn’t know why.
The projects were hard.
Sometimes they took years.
Many times they were frustrating.
The projects were critiqued.
I was critiqued.
But I enjoyed it.
As part of teaching and career coaching, I help people complete a values...
I was sitting in my office and I think my jaw actually may have hit the desk after I heard what she said. She told me she loved orthopedics, but didn’t think she was smart enough to do it. I was shocked. This was an extremely gifted student. She looked at our faculty as if we could do no wrong. She ...
This was no ordinary phone meeting. I thoroughly enjoyed it. What I thought was going to be another phone call about performance systems with a professional sports team turned out to be an engaging conversation about how to improve culture in an organization through the hiring process and through pe...
Running had no purpose to me, until now.
I don’t think there is a job that exists that doesn’t have parts of it that people loathe. In the case of physical therapists, it is documentation. I have never met anyone who said, “I really like that aspect of the job.” Yet, somehow there are therapists wh...
I was at a conference, and someone asked a question that surprised me: 'What were the things that unlocked your career?'
It’s a powerful question, and it made me reflect. The answers I landed on weren't what I expected. They had less to do with a specific technique or certification and more to do w...
Recently, I had a discussion with another University of Evansville faculty member about how much information I share through articles, videos, and social media. There's one reason I do that . . . I'm so passionate about what I do.
I don't know how to say this without it coming off as a humble brag or even just an outright brag. But I need to tell you something because I think there are some good lessons I learned from it and I want to share them with you.
I won the Berger Faculty Scholarship Award from the University of Evan...
My days in a typical outpatient clinic have been over for some time, but I will never forget the feeling. It felt like my hundredth patient of the day with a rotator cuff repair, and as I stood holding his arm he started telling me about his cat.Â
I struggled to listen to the small talk as I rememb...
