• Why biomechanics is the root of all the other conditions and why this should be taught first at University, not last.
• Running Seven practices in Ireland.
• The isolation of being a solo-practitioner
• Patients are looking for solutions. 
• Building trust with patients keeps them coming back
• Why newspaper ads still work and advertorials are still killing it
• Testing what you do and tweaking it for better results.
• Sometimes it only takes small tweaks that make all the difference in your marketing and business success. 
• FAST TRACKING your Podiatry success. Why not do it in 2 years instead of 10 years. 

"Skip all the mistakes and learn from the people that have gone before you. That's what coaching does".
