Nobly, over the course of a lifetime you can impact hundreds if not thousands of individuals. But sometimes you want to do even more, and have a further, wider and deeper reach.

Proof of concept is the fact that my own company grew over a 25 year period in sync with my wonderful daughter Jenna. I can say without a shadow of a doubt that both turned out to be successful in their own right. That is not to say that there were not trials and tribulations along the way. This podcast, co hosted with Tomeico Faison talks about tips for doing this successfully ; how to manage gui...2020-11-2646 min40 years and Counting - Building Business Success in Therapy Practices- What Matters MostEpisode 7: Therapist vs Coach ConundrumI decided to do this webinar solo because I feel so opinionated on the topic, so first and foremost, I welcome all feedback especially opposing points of view. At a time where there is so much competition in the healthcare industry, ongoing encroachment on our scope of practice, blurring of the lines between professionals, at the very least I hope everyone will think carefully about how they want to present themselves to the public, the motivation and pros and cons behind wearing each hat, and maybe some enlightenment on the risks and rewards to consider. As I mention in...2020-11-0122 min40 years and Counting - Building Business Success in Therapy Practices- What Matters MostEpisode 6: The three most misunderstood clauses in therapy contractsWhether you are a practice owner hiring, or a therapist being hired, it is so important to really understand what is in a contract and what should be in a contract. By far, the 3 most misunderstood but important clauses are the non compete, non solicitation and non disclosure. Find out what they should entail to be enforceable and how they work together to mitigate risk. I am joined by Tomeico Faison, OTR/L to help me dissect and give them new meaning, relevance and importance!2020-08-3135 min40 years and Counting - Building Business Success in Therapy Practices- What Matters MostEpisode 5 -Why Contributing to the OT Scholarship in Gerry Balasta's Honor MattersGerry Balasta,a fellow NYC Occupational Therapist died of COVID 19 90 days ago. I have known and worked with Gerry for over 20 years; he was just embarking on his latest entrepreneurial venture, Wonderful Beginnings, an EI and early childhood center that he was opening with Lea, his beloved wife, a physician. He loved life, NY and his Queens community, proud of his Filipino roots. He had many stories to tell about people and used his OT background, and innate people skills in film making.

Right after that, many in the therapy community were rushing to put out anti racist statements, posts, pictures and comments. Somehow that felt shallow, superficial and ineffective and really did nothing for me personally to gain insight into understanding racism in this country. When Tomeico asked me to do a podcast with her on race relations in health care so that we could share our perspectives, I instantly felt that this could be more meaningful than any post I could craft. Our hope is...2020-07-0934 min40 years and Counting - Building Business Success in Therapy Practices- What Matters MostEpisode 3: The "Mother" of Invention: The Story of Barb, Becca and UnbuckleMeOn this podcast, I have the great pleasure of talking with OT Barbara Heilman and her daughter Becca Davison, the creators of UnbuckleMe, a patented, award-winning tool that makes it more than 50% easier to unbuckle a child’s car seat. This podcast will take you on their journey which includes a feature on ABC's Shark Tank this past May that resulted in a deal with not one, but two, sharks! I love the story of Barb and Becca for so many reasons. They prove the point that identifying a need is a great foundation upon which t...2020-06-2133 min40 years and Counting - Building Business Success in Therapy Practices- What Matters MostEpisode 2: The Best Prophet is the Best Guesser - What Will Happen to Private Practices Post COVID 19On this podcast, I share some thoughts on the first question most therapists have asked me in the last 90 days since COVID 19 entered our vocabularies and soon after, our day to day lives. What do I think will happen to private practices?? While no one really knows what is going to happen, there are ways we can move forward from where we are. I hope to impart useful and practical information, demonstrate that there is some aspect of "pandemic positivity" and point to reminders of one important concept: The post COVID future does not exist yet and will only exist...2020-06-2122 min40 years and Counting - Building Business Success in Therapy Practices- What Matters MostEpisode 1: Introduction - A Productive DistractionOn this first podcast, I give some perspective on why I decided ( albeit late in the game) to throw my hat into the podcasting ring. As a long time private practice consultant and a physical and occupational therapist, I have amassed 40 years of experience in the industry, both as a practice owner, and for the last 20 years, as a consultant to practices around the country. Given that I am committed to sharing information on developing business acumen,to the current and next generation of therapists, I realized that hosting a podcast could be an effective way to do that.
