A big thank you for the response I have received through personal messages following my last article. I really appreciate your ideas, thoughts and interaction.

June 21, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Hi! Thanks for taking the time to stop by and read this article. This is a great question which was yet again posed to me recently; Why would I need a mentor? As you may be aware I have been providing formal mentoring services since 2009. And through that time, I’ve had many people, including allied health professionals, ask me to explain what a mentor is, and how to effectively work with a mentor. As allied health professionals, we are more familiar with supervision, especially clinical … [Read more...]

Why I love being self employed………..

Marketing. It’s Easy – Simply Solve A Problem
February 25, 2012 by Leave a Comment
As allied health and rehabilitation professionals, we are often asked to provide solution focused intervention. I don’t think we really spend a lot of time thinking about what that means; we simply get on with doing what we do best – making a difference in people’s lives by providing… that’s right – SOLUTIONS. ‘How does this relate to marketing?’ I hear you ask. Well, good question. It relates perfectly, because if you know how to offer a solution to a client, then you know how to market … [Read more...]

My technology does not own me!
December 9, 2011 by Leave a Comment
When did I become slaves to the tools and equipment that were supposed to be serving me? It’s been an interesting experiment again this week, where I have given myself permission to NOT look at a phone or be online while I have been en route somewhere. It’s been really really hard! Sitting still for 10 – 30 minutes without looking at my phone, checking emails, reviewing FaceBook, Linked In or blog post comments. Sitting still for 10-30 minutes and not talking on the phone. Sitting still … [Read more...]

In my reading, listening and seeking advice from mentors I have learned that my … [Read more...]
