Good Boss or Great Boss?
Halloween is finally here! While this holiday is full of fun activities like trick-or-treating, costume parties, and carving pumpkins, it got us thinking about something so many people are afraid of: failure.

New to Leadership? This One's for You!
As entrepreneurs, we face many common fears whether it’s worrying if we will be one of the typical small businesses that closes less than five years after opening, or struggling to reach profitability.

Despite all the stress that comes with opening your own practice, building confidence can happen!
Are You Sabotaging Yourself?

Because you just don't have the time to reflect on the possibilities of what could work. You need a solution, and you need it now. Here are three signs it might be time to think outside the box and stop sabotaging yourself.
