Discover the transformative power of setting clear boundaries and managing expectations, both for your clients and yourself

Host Julie South tackles the delicate art of work-life harmony, guiding you through the initial client interactions that are pivotal in shaping a manageable and realistic schedule.

Learn how the strategic use of the word "because" can enhance your persuasive communication, referencing insights from a Harvard University study.

If you're edging toward burnout or contemplating a career change due to the relentless demands of the job, this episode is your guiding light to reclaim control and find the balance that has been eluding you.

In the quest for clinic efficiency, Julie South shares actionable steps to evaluate and potentially overhaul your daily schedule, encouraging you to approach management with a solutions-focused mindset.

A revolutionary suggestion is on the table: consider the impact of a non-nurse qualified receptionist to streamline operations.
