It's been a week since we talked about stepping from practitioner into leader, and the yeses and nos work in the Strategy Lab workbook. Today I'm back with a nudge and three things to work on this fortnight: one clean no, one clear yes, and one small change to test out. I also share a story about my niece and what she taught me about softening a no without ever really saying it, plus why catching yourself mid-yes still counts. And I leave you with a couple of questions to sit with before next episode, when we move from yes and no into identity. Strategy Lab members, your one-to-one link is in last week's workbook.

AI is everywhere at the moment, and chances are your clients are arriving with advice from Google, social media, AI, or somebody they've spoken to along the way.So where does that leave us as practitioners?In this episode, I'm talking about the difference between having an answer and making a real difference for the person sitting in front of you. Because while information is easy to find, understanding the individual and what they need is something else entirely.We'll also look at the impact we have in practice every day, and why some of the most important parts of our work are often the hardest to measure.Strategy Lab Members:If you're in the Strategy Lab, there's a workbook and a separate conversation waiting for you inside the platform, where we'll take this a bit further and look at how it applies in your own practice.Not a Strategy Lab Member Yet?Join the Strategy Lab here: www.geraldineheadley.com/strategy_labConnect with me: geraldine@mentoringwithgeraldine.bizwww.geraldineheadley.com/strategy_labwww.geraldineheadley.comwww.instagram.com/mentoringwithgeraldine/
Every so often I like inviting someone onto the podcast because I always enjoy hearing how other practitioners have built their businesses. This week I sat down with Coby du Preez, massage therapist, business owner and mentor, to chat about growing a practice, building a community around you, avoiding burnout and why it's so important to really understand what your clients are trying to achieve.We also talk about making the move from being a solo practitioner to leading a team, and why building relationships, both with your clients and other health professionals, is such an important part of running a successful practice. There are lots of practical ideas throughout this conversation that I'm sure will get you thinking about your own practice, whether you're just starting out or you've been doing this for years.Have a listen and see what you take away from it.Connect with Coby du Preez: musclemedicine.com.auNot in the Strategy Lab yet?

This week's a bit of an encourager for you all, whether you're in the Strategy Lab or just out there in podcast land.So today I've got three questions for you to sit with, whatever you're doing right now (dishes, walking, driving, whatever it is). Answer them honestly and you'll walk away knowing exactly where your pricing is leaking, and what to do about it.I also share a bit about how I've reshaped my own offerings this year, cutting back the loss leaders and making Strategy Lab a better product for the people in it.Quick heads up for Strategy Lab members: the 14-day pricing update campaign with email templates and scripts is now live and freshly updated for you.Head to https://www.geraldineheadley.com/strategy_lab to find out more about the Strategy LabAlso don't forget, I've got a live day coming up on the 20th, a full session all about how the consult works. Book your place here: https://www.geraldineheadley.com/checkout/cartNext episode we're staying on money, but flipping to the other side of it.
We're hitting mid-year hard and everyone's worried about money. Same playbook as always. So let's talk about where you're actually flinching, because that's what I'm calling it.Your clients Googled their problem, found you in 20 places, checked with a friend, and then booked. They already did the maths. They don't need you doing it for them on top of that.What we cover:-The three rules quietly running your pricing.-Why revenue is not income and your consult fee is not your hourly rate.-The three numbers every solo practice should know. -Why right now, end of financial year, is the perfect time to look at all of itMoney paid is not the same as value received. Stop carrying both sides of the transaction.The second half of this session is for Strategy Lab members only, where we go through the workbook, the updated spreadsheet, and the mindset audit in detail.Want in on the members content?

AI can save you time, but it still needs your knowledge, experience and good judgement.In this week's encourager, I share why AI should be a support tool, not the final answer. We revisit the importance of batching your marketing, checking everything AI gives you and staying within the TGA guidelines, so your content stays accurate, professional and true to your voice.If you've been wanting to sharpen your consultation skills, come and join me on Monday, 20 July. We'll spend the day working through an anxiety case together, sharing ideas and learning alongside other practitioners.Early bird pricing is available now. Book your place here: https://www.geraldineheadley.com/checkout/cartIf you'd like a little more support throughout the year, I'd love to welcome you into the Strategy Lab. It's where we continue the conversation with practical workbooks, resources and regular discussions to support you in clinic and in business.http://geraldineheadley.com/strategy_lab
Marketing can absolutely drain the life out of you, and if you have had a burst of energy followed by a big quiet patch followed by guilt, you will know exactly what I mean.In this one, I am sharing the tool that keeps getting me found online and most practitioners have no idea it is even working for them. I also get into why a rainy week and a coughing nephew in New Zealand is actually all you need to build a full content plan, what happens when your creative energy and your clinical energy hit empty at the same time, how one hook becomes five posts without you having to think that hard, and the AI mistake that could have the TGA knocking if you are not careful. If you have built a pile of content and then not posted a single bit of it, you are in the right place. Strategy Lab members, you have got your own exclusive deep dive session and workbook waiting for you inside, with prompts ready to go so you can get stuck into it straight away.

This is a mid-fortnight check-in, what I call an "encourager." We're right in the middle of June, and I just wanted to pop in and give you a nudge. In this episode, I'm talking about resistance, consistency, and why showing up regularly, even in small ways, is what actually moves the needle for you and your clients. I'm also sharing how my Weight Loss Thursday program taught me everything I know about keeping clients on track between appointments. For Strategy Lab Members: Head into the workbook and get started. If you're not sure where to begin, the follow-up structure is your easiest entry point. Want More Than Just the Podcast? If you're enjoying these episodes, the Strategy Lab is where you get the full picture. Workbooks, deeper training, and me showing up every week to keep you accountable. This is the difference between listening and actually doing. Come and join us at https://www.geraldineheadley.com/strategy_lab
