How does office decor influence your client's healing journey?

With decades of experience, I’ve got a few thoughts about that. So in today’s episode, we’ll explore best practices that impact your clinical work AND your standing as a practice owner.

Because there’s actually more to this than you might think!

In this episode, you’ll learn: 

1. How your client’s experience is impacted way before they get to your door.
2. What to consider in terms of signage, parking, and accessibility.
3. An important thing about lighting that it’s easy to forget.
4. How to offer comfort without sacrificing professionalism.

Plus I’ll tell you when I knew we’d gotten it ‘right’ at my group practice set up, even without the help of a designer. :)

Give this a listen and let me know: What tip was most helpful for you?

Have you ever thought about how the design and aesthetics of your workspace could be impacting your success?

We’re exploring that concept today, talking about the crucial intersection of interior design and holistic health with our guest, Carolyn Boldt.

With over 40 years of experience in interior design, Carolyn co-founded Crossfields Design with a mission to develop restorative environments for businesses in the holistic health industry.

Through personal experience, she learned how important alternative healthcare could be, and wants to do her part to raise the bar, and the respect, for that work. (I love that.)

So today, she works to help create a sense of calm, comfort, and care in spaces through strategic design choices, which ultimately influences the bottom line of a practice.

In fact - she tells us that her firm has learned that simply tuning into better design for your space can increase revenue by as much as 20%! 🤯

Whoa.

So let’s talk about that.

In this episode, you’ll hear: 

1. How tuning into the psychology of space can boost your profits in 3 ways.
2. What to think about when renting an office.
3. The impact of color on your clients’ wellbeing.

And more. In fact, I think this is important enough that I want to keep going. So, this is the first in a 3 part series on how to set up your office space for success - for your clients and for yourself.

In the next 2 episodes, I’ll share my own thoughts about things to consider as you set up your physical space, and your virtual office too.

Episode 48 – The Good, the Bad and the Different

One of the many advantages of membership in a national group like the Automotive Service Association (ASA) is the different perspectives it brings. Fred Hules is the owner of Tech1 Auto in Peoria, Arizona and the chairman-elect of the ASA National board. In this episode, Fred offers a view from the Southwest as he discusses how ASA-Arizona has and continues to help their members stay open and in business through the current pandemic. Fred’s unique perspective reflects what he’s seen so far in the good, the bad and the different effects on repair shops in Arizona as he shares his observations and insights on a range of topics, including:

·         What the ASA-Arizona affiliate has done to help shops meet the challenge and not just survive, but thrive in the face of the COVID-19 crisis.

·         How the dissemination of information is critical to keeping shops abreast of developments and available resources to meet the challenges of the current pandemic. Providing the “how” along with the “what.”

·         The importance of the stimulus support available from the federal government.

·         What we’ve learned from one another to take advantage of the help that’s out there and some tips on the best ways to apply for assistance.

·         The value of being part of an association and how that allowed Fred to help other business owners—even some in other industries.

·         How Arizona shops are taking care of their employees and customers, while learning to adapt to a wide variety of new customer service tools, like paying a bill with a text message. What’s going to stick?

·         A local view on how business is returning in Arizona and what it means to repair shops and other small businesses.

·         How Tech1 Auto and many other shops are taking advantage of the free training during the crisis and how the down time provided an opportunity to improve their efficiency and processes.

·         Lessons learned and where we go from here.
