Transforming Chiropractic Team Meetings from Chore to Growth Engine

Dr. Tom Preston

Welcome to our latest video, where Coach Dodie from Full Circle Coaching and Consulting tackles a common dilemma in chiropractic practices: the effectiveness of team meetings. Many practitioners view team meetings as a necessary evil, often unproductive and difficult to manage. However, with the right approach, these meetings can become a powerful tool for practice growth and team cohesion. Why Rethink Team Meetings? For those who dread team meetings, the challenges often include lack of team engagement, scheduling conflicts, and a feeling that these gatherings don't lead to tangible improvements. On the flip side, well-conducted meetings can enhance communication, unify the team, and set the stage for predictable growth. The Turnaround Story We share the story of a chiropractic practice that transformed its trajectory through effective team meetings. Initially struggling with team dynamics and stagnant growth, they implemented structured meetings that improved communication and team unity, leading to significant practice growth. Five Tips for Effective Team Meetings: Pre-schedule Meetings: Ensure everyone knows the date, start time, and end time well in advance. Punctuality is key to respecting everyone's time and maintaining focus. Have a Clear Agenda: Outline what will be discussed and allocate time for each topic. Assign a team member to monitor the agenda and another to take notes for accountability. Start with Positivity: Begin each meeting by highlighting wins and positive developments. This sets a constructive tone and motivates the team. Address Past and Future Business: Review ongoing issues and introduce new initiatives. This keeps the team aligned on current projects and future plans. Assign Action Steps with Deadlines: Ensure that each task has a clear owner and a deadline. This accountability mechanism helps translate discussion into action. Meeting Frequency and Focus The frequency and focus of meetings can vary based on your practice's needs. Whether it's weekly for operational updates or monthly for strategic planning, the key is consistency and relevance. Topics might range from marketing strategies to training sessions or procedural improvements. Conclusion By adopting these five tips, you can transform your team meetings from a dreaded chore into a catalyst for growth and improvement. Effective meetings not only foster better communication and team morale but also drive your practice towards its goals.

When to Fire a Chiropractic Associate

Dr. Tom Preston

Hey, Coach Frazer here from Full Circle Coaching and Consulting. Today, we're tackling a challenging yet crucial topic for chiropractic practice owners: when and how to make the difficult decision of letting an associate go. This process is often uncomfortable and not well-executed in the chiropractic field, largely due to our nature as healers and the lack of formal training in human resources. Why It's Hard to Let Associates Go The core of the issue lies in the relational aspect of our profession. We're in the business of caring, making it inherently difficult to sever professional ties. However, the key to making informed decisions lies in setting clear, measurable performance indicators and standard operating procedures. Strategies for Effective Management Define Metrics and Performance Indicators: Stop relying solely on the feel of the relationship and start measuring performance against defined metrics. Develop Outcome Assessments: Create documents that outline what excellence looks like in the role. Conduct regular reviews (quarterly or bi-annually) to assess performance. Establish Clear Values: When an associate violates the core values of your practice, it's a clear sign that they may not be the right fit. Set Structured Goals: If an associate consistently fails to meet their targets, despite having a supportive marketing plan and realistic goals, it may be time to part ways. Conclusion Letting an associate go should never be a personal issue but a business decision based on clear, predefined criteria. By frontloading the process with clear expectations and regular assessments, you can ensure that such decisions are fair, objective, and ultimately in the best interest of your practice.
