As a group practice owner, it’s easy to assume your struggles are about hiring or team dynamics, when what’s really needed is some honest reflection and strong leadership training for teams.

Whether you're leading a small team or managing a growing staff, this episode will challenge how you think about leadership - and how you show up for your people.
