You're Already a Leader: How PTs Can Step Up Without a Title

WEBVTT

00:00:00.928 --> 00:00:02.910
You're listening to the PG Pinecast,

00:00:03.009 --> 00:00:05.011
where smart people in healthcare come to

00:00:05.051 --> 00:00:05.972
make noise.

00:00:06.251 --> 00:00:07.714
Here's your host, Jimmy McKay.

00:00:10.521 --> 00:00:12.041
Pay bills before we start the episode.

00:00:12.102 --> 00:00:13.182
You understand how this works.

00:00:13.202 --> 00:00:15.464
I want to say thanks to Brooks Institute

00:00:15.484 --> 00:00:16.004
of Higher Learning.

00:00:16.024 --> 00:00:16.946
They've been with the show for more than

00:00:16.986 --> 00:00:17.425
three years.

00:00:17.765 --> 00:00:19.867
They're the place to go for PTs who,

00:00:20.007 --> 00:00:20.908
when they're ready to level up their

00:00:20.928 --> 00:00:23.329
clinical game, fellowships, residencies,

00:00:23.731 --> 00:00:25.891
neuro orthopedics, pediatrics, geriatrics.

00:00:25.911 --> 00:00:26.472
There's more.

00:00:26.713 --> 00:00:27.573
I don't have my notes in front of

00:00:27.632 --> 00:00:27.754
me,

00:00:27.974 --> 00:00:29.155
but you've been hearing me talk about them

00:00:29.195 --> 00:00:29.635
for three years.

00:00:29.894 --> 00:00:30.556
Here's what you should do.

00:00:30.815 --> 00:00:33.578
Go to the website, brooksihl.org.

00:00:33.677 --> 00:00:35.558
I'll say it one more time, brooksihl.org.

00:00:36.740 --> 00:00:38.640
They've got amazing mentorship and

00:00:38.680 --> 00:00:39.161
leadership.

00:00:40.429 --> 00:00:41.590
Fantastic programs.

00:00:41.609 --> 00:00:43.049
I've never heard a person say a bad

00:00:43.070 --> 00:00:45.011
thing about going through the program and

00:00:45.110 --> 00:00:47.491
you're located in Florida and it's warm

00:00:47.531 --> 00:00:48.813
down there most of the time.

00:00:49.192 --> 00:00:51.933
So indulge brooksihl.org.

00:00:53.094 --> 00:00:54.534
One of the most talked about leadership

00:00:54.575 --> 00:00:55.575
sessions at CSM,

00:00:55.875 --> 00:00:57.655
we're about to get into it.

00:00:58.136 --> 00:00:59.036
We're talking about it.

00:00:59.656 --> 00:01:00.917
Under the bannership of leadership and

00:01:00.938 --> 00:01:01.398
innovation,

00:01:01.857 --> 00:01:04.179
three physical therapists from radically

00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:06.200
different career paths will now come

00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:08.400
together like Voltron to make a bold

00:01:08.460 --> 00:01:08.700
claim.

00:01:09.673 --> 00:01:12.263
PTs already have the skills to lead.

00:01:12.905 --> 00:01:14.912
We just haven't been trained to see it

00:01:14.953 --> 00:01:15.134
yet.

00:01:16.415 --> 00:01:18.156
in a session titled Leading with Care,

00:01:18.197 --> 00:01:19.457
Developing Physical Therapists,

00:01:19.558 --> 00:01:21.840
Potential in Healthcare Leadership, Todd,

00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:22.540
Lindsay, and Kelly.

00:01:23.141 --> 00:01:24.042
Connect the dots.

00:01:24.061 --> 00:01:25.222
It was my favorite game when I was

00:01:25.242 --> 00:01:25.444
a kid.

00:01:25.804 --> 00:01:27.986
Between what PTs already do and are good

00:01:28.025 --> 00:01:29.927
at in clinic and what's needed in

00:01:29.968 --> 00:01:32.510
healthcare leadership today and tomorrow

00:01:32.549 --> 00:01:33.090
and in the future.

00:01:33.570 --> 00:01:35.191
From therapeutic alliance to emotional

00:01:35.251 --> 00:01:35.873
intelligence,

00:01:36.132 --> 00:01:37.834
from clinical reasoning to strategic

00:01:37.894 --> 00:01:38.454
execution.

00:01:38.816 --> 00:01:40.596
The session will lay out for you,

00:01:40.617 --> 00:01:41.578
if you're coming to CSM,

00:01:41.597 --> 00:01:42.138
and I hope you are,

00:01:42.698 --> 00:01:45.100
how our profession can move beyond

00:01:45.141 --> 00:01:47.123
treatment tables and into boardrooms,

00:01:47.743 --> 00:01:50.885
startups, and systems level impact.

00:01:51.587 --> 00:01:53.569
Today, we're joined by those speakers.

00:01:53.748 --> 00:01:54.750
Let's welcome them to the show.

00:01:54.829 --> 00:01:56.992
Todd, Kelly, Lindsey, welcome to the show.

00:01:58.099 --> 00:02:00.840
Thanks for having us, Jimmy.

00:02:00.960 --> 00:02:01.260
Thank you.

00:02:01.361 --> 00:02:01.902
Super excited to be here.

00:02:02.081 --> 00:02:03.022
I'm always curious,

00:02:03.042 --> 00:02:04.283
because whenever there's three people with

00:02:04.302 --> 00:02:05.283
different backgrounds,

00:02:06.063 --> 00:02:06.983
and every good movie,

00:02:07.004 --> 00:02:07.584
if you think about it,

00:02:07.603 --> 00:02:08.685
is an origin story.

00:02:09.384 --> 00:02:10.564
How'd this thing come about?

00:02:10.746 --> 00:02:11.966
Who wants to say, all right,

00:02:12.006 --> 00:02:13.326
here's how it's kind of like Three's

00:02:13.366 --> 00:02:13.687
Company.

00:02:13.727 --> 00:02:15.146
How did the Three's Company wind up

00:02:15.167 --> 00:02:16.807
getting together to go to CSM?

00:02:16.927 --> 00:02:17.228
All right,

00:02:17.247 --> 00:02:18.329
Lindsay's going to take that one.

00:02:18.991 --> 00:02:20.171
Yeah, so I'll take this.

00:02:20.211 --> 00:02:23.193
So I was at a different conference earlier

00:02:23.234 --> 00:02:23.794
this year,

00:02:24.215 --> 00:02:25.675
the American College of Healthcare

00:02:25.756 --> 00:02:26.637
Executives.

00:02:26.956 --> 00:02:27.298
Oh, yeah.

00:02:27.358 --> 00:02:28.318
And some of those listeners may be

00:02:28.377 --> 00:02:30.039
familiar with that organization.

00:02:30.460 --> 00:02:32.040
They have an annual conference called

00:02:32.100 --> 00:02:36.164
Congress and attended the sessions,

00:02:36.805 --> 00:02:37.466
spoke there,

00:02:37.566 --> 00:02:39.287
and then I was on LinkedIn afterwards just

00:02:39.366 --> 00:02:41.147
connecting with people who had attended

00:02:41.187 --> 00:02:41.968
different sessions.

00:02:41.989 --> 00:02:42.530
And I saw,

00:02:42.870 --> 00:02:44.610
I believe it was a comment from Todd

00:02:45.512 --> 00:02:47.073
on one of the threads, and I saw,

00:02:47.293 --> 00:02:47.834
you know, P.T.,

00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:49.878
And then I think I saw Kelly and

00:02:49.899 --> 00:02:50.539
an MPT.

00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:51.340
I'm like, holy crap.

00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:52.319
Like there's PTs here.

00:02:52.379 --> 00:02:54.140
Cause a lot of times in those spaces,

00:02:54.681 --> 00:02:56.721
I felt kind of like an outsider, like,

00:02:56.781 --> 00:02:56.941
oh,

00:02:56.961 --> 00:02:58.822
who am I at this healthcare leadership

00:02:58.882 --> 00:02:59.322
conference?

00:02:59.401 --> 00:03:00.301
I'm a clinician.

00:03:00.901 --> 00:03:01.423
Um,

00:03:01.443 --> 00:03:02.842
but I found the more and more spaces

00:03:03.002 --> 00:03:05.002
I got into the more clinical leaders I

00:03:05.043 --> 00:03:05.503
found.

00:03:05.764 --> 00:03:05.864
Um,

00:03:05.903 --> 00:03:08.003
now primarily those tend to be physicians,

00:03:08.123 --> 00:03:10.205
nurses, things like that.

00:03:10.604 --> 00:03:10.724
Um,

00:03:10.985 --> 00:03:13.026
and so I was so energized when I

00:03:13.086 --> 00:03:14.225
ran into Todd and Kelly.

00:03:14.849 --> 00:03:15.510
And I'm like, guys,

00:03:15.550 --> 00:03:17.472
we got to bring a session to Congress

00:03:17.572 --> 00:03:18.733
again in twenty six.

00:03:18.752 --> 00:03:20.194
We got to present there and we have

00:03:20.215 --> 00:03:21.074
to hit CSM.

00:03:21.855 --> 00:03:23.997
And that's kind of how the origin story,

00:03:24.018 --> 00:03:25.838
as you put it, began.

00:03:25.859 --> 00:03:27.080
And so it's been really great to get

00:03:27.099 --> 00:03:27.820
to know both of them.

00:03:27.841 --> 00:03:28.260
Like you said,

00:03:28.341 --> 00:03:29.763
radically different backgrounds.

00:03:30.703 --> 00:03:31.943
So we're really pulling from all of our

00:03:31.984 --> 00:03:34.366
different experiences and synthesizing it

00:03:34.385 --> 00:03:36.108
together for a really great session.

00:03:36.635 --> 00:03:36.915
All right.

00:03:36.975 --> 00:03:38.437
And we'll get it for the audience.

00:03:38.457 --> 00:03:39.538
We'll get into the session.

00:03:39.979 --> 00:03:41.381
But any good podcast host,

00:03:41.441 --> 00:03:42.622
I don't want to just ask a lazy

00:03:42.662 --> 00:03:44.002
like, well, tell us about your background.

00:03:44.043 --> 00:03:45.245
But since I teed it up and you

00:03:45.284 --> 00:03:46.425
already you volunteered,

00:03:46.445 --> 00:03:47.045
you started talking.

00:03:47.606 --> 00:03:48.627
I said you have radically different

00:03:48.668 --> 00:03:49.269
backgrounds.

00:03:49.688 --> 00:03:51.070
What's yours specifically?

00:03:51.110 --> 00:03:52.931
What's your two to three sentence sort of

00:03:53.812 --> 00:03:54.913
superhero origin story?

00:03:54.954 --> 00:03:55.354
Explain it.

00:03:56.294 --> 00:03:57.414
So Army PT,

00:03:58.455 --> 00:04:00.818
I was doing my clinical rotations before

00:04:00.838 --> 00:04:01.819
applying to PT school,

00:04:01.900 --> 00:04:04.502
saw an Army nurse on a billboard and

00:04:04.543 --> 00:04:04.902
was like,

00:04:05.044 --> 00:04:06.485
do they have physical therapists?

00:04:06.685 --> 00:04:07.246
I Googled it.

00:04:07.746 --> 00:04:09.348
Turns out they do, spoiler alert,

00:04:09.729 --> 00:04:11.050
but I've been doing it for the past

00:04:11.150 --> 00:04:11.770
fifteen years.

00:04:12.556 --> 00:04:13.056
That's awesome.

00:04:13.137 --> 00:04:13.477
All right.

00:04:13.537 --> 00:04:16.119
So my next question will go with Kelly,

00:04:16.158 --> 00:04:17.759
then Todd's with the same question.

00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:19.899
Why'd you say yes?

00:04:19.939 --> 00:04:21.540
Like, you know, Kelly, why were you like,

00:04:21.620 --> 00:04:21.980
all right,

00:04:22.021 --> 00:04:23.622
did you feel the same sort of Hey,

00:04:23.641 --> 00:04:25.622
there's look at that same people with some

00:04:25.642 --> 00:04:26.403
of the same letters?

00:04:26.442 --> 00:04:27.382
Or why'd you jump in?

00:04:27.403 --> 00:04:29.444
Why'd you say yes.

00:04:29.483 --> 00:04:32.466
So I attended Lindsay's session at the

00:04:32.846 --> 00:04:34.146
conference that she's mentioned,

00:04:34.966 --> 00:04:37.048
and was really impressed with what she did

00:04:37.088 --> 00:04:37.548
there.

00:04:38.608 --> 00:04:39.769
So when she reached out,

00:04:40.894 --> 00:04:41.375
I just thought, well,

00:04:41.394 --> 00:04:42.516
this should be fun to work with.

00:04:42.536 --> 00:04:43.776
Let's see where this goes.

00:04:44.137 --> 00:04:44.937
And then as we talked,

00:04:44.997 --> 00:04:46.319
and it was a great topic.

00:04:46.379 --> 00:04:47.220
I think it's a great,

00:04:50.483 --> 00:04:51.704
it's great information to share with

00:04:51.723 --> 00:04:52.785
fellow PTs out there.

00:04:53.466 --> 00:04:53.985
Some of it,

00:04:54.005 --> 00:04:55.487
and as we develop the information,

00:04:56.809 --> 00:04:57.810
I know I said several times,

00:04:57.870 --> 00:04:59.370
I wish I would have had a talk

00:04:59.411 --> 00:05:00.911
like this whenever I was a young new

00:05:00.932 --> 00:05:01.132
PT.

00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:03.461
And that's when you know you're onto

00:05:03.500 --> 00:05:04.302
something, right?

00:05:04.341 --> 00:05:05.663
It's like, wow, they always say, like,

00:05:05.723 --> 00:05:08.204
write the book for you ten years ago

00:05:08.225 --> 00:05:09.586
that you wish you had to get you

00:05:09.625 --> 00:05:11.286
through the last ten years.

00:05:11.326 --> 00:05:13.127
So before we go to Todd, though, Kelly,

00:05:13.168 --> 00:05:15.490
what's your sort of background that comes

00:05:15.529 --> 00:05:18.072
here that's not like Lindsay's at all?

00:05:18.632 --> 00:05:21.113
So I have been in pediatrics my entire

00:05:21.153 --> 00:05:21.473
career.

00:05:21.514 --> 00:05:23.154
I was a pediatric physical therapist,

00:05:24.315 --> 00:05:26.057
pretty much totally clinical the first

00:05:26.096 --> 00:05:27.978
fifteen years of my career and then

00:05:28.059 --> 00:05:30.379
transitioned into leadership this kind of

00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:30.901
last half.

00:05:31.334 --> 00:05:31.574
Okay,

00:05:31.694 --> 00:05:32.776
so not a lot of babies in the

00:05:32.857 --> 00:05:33.057
army,

00:05:33.098 --> 00:05:34.339
but maybe we're going to be forward

00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:35.341
thinking and then we'll have more of that

00:05:35.362 --> 00:05:35.843
in the future.

00:05:35.963 --> 00:05:36.685
Now we'll come to Todd.

00:05:36.925 --> 00:05:37.908
Why'd you say yes, Todd?

00:05:38.108 --> 00:05:40.112
I know a little bit about your background.

00:05:40.331 --> 00:05:41.634
I know it's not like either of these

00:05:41.654 --> 00:05:41.855
women.

00:05:43.432 --> 00:05:44.194
I mean,

00:05:44.213 --> 00:05:45.814
I just think it's so important because

00:05:45.915 --> 00:05:48.737
I've ended up in leadership and I didn't

00:05:48.937 --> 00:05:49.819
see it for myself.

00:05:49.838 --> 00:05:50.980
Sort of like what Kelly was saying.

00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:52.300
I didn't see it for myself.

00:05:52.380 --> 00:05:54.262
And here I am at this conference and

00:05:54.702 --> 00:05:56.764
saw this post about Lindsay and like,

00:05:56.944 --> 00:05:58.225
whoa, there's another PT out here.

00:05:58.245 --> 00:05:59.887
I feel like I'm the only one, right?

00:05:59.906 --> 00:06:01.569
I'm like, oh gosh, there's other folks.

00:06:01.988 --> 00:06:03.730
So let's connect and let's make this

00:06:03.771 --> 00:06:04.110
happen.

00:06:04.130 --> 00:06:05.973
And I actually think I told Lindsay and

00:06:06.012 --> 00:06:07.853
Kelly when we came up with this idea

00:06:07.874 --> 00:06:08.535
to do this presentation, like,

00:06:08.694 --> 00:06:09.755
we're going to have one heck of a

00:06:09.776 --> 00:06:11.697
story that this thing all started through

00:06:12.117 --> 00:06:14.038
a LinkedIn comment that we all got

00:06:14.057 --> 00:06:14.499
connected.

00:06:14.858 --> 00:06:17.279
And that is, I mean,

00:06:17.300 --> 00:06:18.721
I come from a comms background, right?

00:06:18.740 --> 00:06:19.622
So when you have a hammer,

00:06:19.841 --> 00:06:21.002
all you see in the world is nails.

00:06:21.583 --> 00:06:22.764
You said the word story.

00:06:23.646 --> 00:06:25.305
Those are the best presentations, right?

00:06:25.346 --> 00:06:26.067
Story with a meaning,

00:06:26.146 --> 00:06:27.247
not just up there to tell you about

00:06:27.607 --> 00:06:28.927
something without the meaning.

00:06:28.947 --> 00:06:30.848
That's why fairy tales, spoiler alert,

00:06:30.867 --> 00:06:31.807
that's why fairy tales,

00:06:32.168 --> 00:06:34.788
they're lessons wrapped in story, right?

00:06:34.829 --> 00:06:36.088
So those, in my opinion,

00:06:36.509 --> 00:06:38.389
those are some of the sessions if you

00:06:38.430 --> 00:06:38.709
said, hey,

00:06:38.730 --> 00:06:40.930
do you remember anything from CSM?

00:06:40.951 --> 00:06:42.430
Actually, it's going to be full circle.

00:06:42.451 --> 00:06:43.850
My first CSM was LA.

00:06:44.252 --> 00:06:45.312
But do you remember anything?

00:06:45.372 --> 00:06:46.851
The only ones I feel like I remember

00:06:46.872 --> 00:06:48.353
are the ones where the presenters told

00:06:48.413 --> 00:06:49.173
great stories.

00:06:49.812 --> 00:06:51.274
So since there's three,

00:06:51.516 --> 00:06:53.418
usually one-on-one interviews are pretty

00:06:53.458 --> 00:06:53.819
good.

00:06:54.620 --> 00:06:55.281
One-on-two,

00:06:55.300 --> 00:06:56.682
we got one-on-three on this one.

00:06:56.723 --> 00:06:59.206
So I'm gonna act like a hockey referee.

00:06:59.226 --> 00:07:00.367
I'm gonna drop the puck and you guys

00:07:00.387 --> 00:07:01.769
can fight who wants to answer first.

00:07:02.211 --> 00:07:03.713
Start us off with your session.

00:07:03.833 --> 00:07:05.815
We understand who's who in the zoo now.

00:07:06.476 --> 00:07:09.740
What's the big message or messages you

00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:11.862
want to deliver to PTs when we meet

00:07:11.901 --> 00:07:11.982
up?

00:07:12.502 --> 00:07:14.803
You guys are, by the way, Valentine's Day.

00:07:14.843 --> 00:07:15.524
So I got to be honest,

00:07:15.564 --> 00:07:16.846
if you want to make sure people like

00:07:16.886 --> 00:07:17.766
you and give you good reviews,

00:07:18.166 --> 00:07:20.168
maybe some candy, maybe some Valentine's.

00:07:20.189 --> 00:07:21.350
That's just me throwing you some good

00:07:21.389 --> 00:07:21.649
ideas.

00:07:21.709 --> 00:07:24.632
But what's the big message you hope PTs

00:07:24.673 --> 00:07:26.995
walk out of that room with after your

00:07:27.035 --> 00:07:27.274
session?

00:07:28.452 --> 00:07:29.714
not gonna lie a hundred percent was

00:07:29.754 --> 00:07:31.297
thinking this morning i'm gonna have to

00:07:31.317 --> 00:07:34.502
get some chocolates like presentation and

00:07:34.903 --> 00:07:36.245
come with big bag of chocolates for

00:07:36.264 --> 00:07:37.687
everybody so now i think i'm committed to

00:07:37.706 --> 00:07:39.348
that if you heard this now i'm committed

00:07:39.369 --> 00:07:40.571
to bringing that bag of chocolates to

00:07:40.630 --> 00:07:40.971
anaheim

00:07:42.115 --> 00:07:43.437
But since we're in LA,

00:07:43.716 --> 00:07:45.218
I'm going to go and use a little

00:07:45.237 --> 00:07:47.480
bit of an analogy from Hollywood and from

00:07:47.540 --> 00:07:48.321
Disney in particular,

00:07:48.341 --> 00:07:49.661
because we're literally down the street

00:07:49.721 --> 00:07:51.783
from Disneyland at the conference.

00:07:52.463 --> 00:07:53.665
And in the Disney world,

00:07:53.704 --> 00:07:55.105
you have Star Wars now.

00:07:55.526 --> 00:07:57.788
And if you think about Star Wars and

00:07:57.807 --> 00:07:58.329
the Jedi,

00:07:58.809 --> 00:08:00.571
they all are strong with the force, right?

00:08:00.591 --> 00:08:02.052
It's something that's inherent in them.

00:08:02.552 --> 00:08:04.213
But they have to be trained to become

00:08:04.293 --> 00:08:04.853
Jedi Knights.

00:08:04.872 --> 00:08:06.012
I think we are the same.

00:08:06.454 --> 00:08:07.553
Once you're trained as a PT,

00:08:07.574 --> 00:08:08.553
you have these skills,

00:08:08.913 --> 00:08:10.615
whether it's building the therapeutic

00:08:10.634 --> 00:08:11.214
alliance,

00:08:11.235 --> 00:08:12.716
whether it's thinking strategically about

00:08:12.776 --> 00:08:13.475
a care plan.

00:08:13.776 --> 00:08:15.456
These are all transferable skills that can

00:08:15.497 --> 00:08:16.877
make you a really great leader.

00:08:17.317 --> 00:08:18.158
But you have to take a little bit

00:08:18.177 --> 00:08:18.497
of training.

00:08:18.517 --> 00:08:19.718
You have to take some time to walk

00:08:19.757 --> 00:08:21.678
the path and develop yourself and

00:08:21.738 --> 00:08:23.319
understand the skills that you have and

00:08:23.379 --> 00:08:24.399
how it's transferable.

00:08:24.740 --> 00:08:25.480
And that's where we're going.

00:08:25.721 --> 00:08:27.581
We're going to show you what it is

00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:29.541
that you already have as a PT that

00:08:29.581 --> 00:08:31.163
you can leverage to become a great leader

00:08:31.182 --> 00:08:31.843
in your organization.

00:08:32.164 --> 00:08:33.725
When people hire me for communications

00:08:33.765 --> 00:08:34.667
projects, I'm like, hey,

00:08:34.687 --> 00:08:36.008
thanks for paying me lots of money.

00:08:36.447 --> 00:08:37.208
Spoiler alert,

00:08:37.249 --> 00:08:38.490
the ideas that I'm going to give you

00:08:38.529 --> 00:08:39.390
are already in the room.

00:08:39.691 --> 00:08:40.611
I'm just going to pull them out.

00:08:40.991 --> 00:08:42.432
But that's I feel like part of your

00:08:42.452 --> 00:08:42.734
message,

00:08:42.754 --> 00:08:45.995
which is like these things that you maybe

00:08:46.437 --> 00:08:48.738
don't understand to be so powerful or

00:08:48.778 --> 00:08:51.640
transferable or important other places are

00:08:51.681 --> 00:08:52.520
and you already have them.

00:08:52.761 --> 00:08:53.522
And then I realized, Todd,

00:08:53.581 --> 00:08:55.203
I skipped over your superhero origin

00:08:55.244 --> 00:08:55.563
story.

00:08:55.583 --> 00:08:56.764
I want people to understand where you're

00:08:56.784 --> 00:08:57.404
coming from, too.

00:08:57.424 --> 00:08:58.066
So let's do that right now.

00:08:58.772 --> 00:08:59.312
Sure.

00:08:59.432 --> 00:09:00.913
Neither the Army nor pediatrics,

00:09:00.972 --> 00:09:02.594
although my wife is a pediatric PT.

00:09:03.434 --> 00:09:05.075
I started down the orthopedic and sports

00:09:05.115 --> 00:09:06.895
path, did my residency and everything,

00:09:06.975 --> 00:09:09.398
and then about five, six years in,

00:09:09.878 --> 00:09:11.458
and I work in Silicon Valley,

00:09:11.479 --> 00:09:13.360
so you interact with folks that are in

00:09:13.379 --> 00:09:14.159
the tech space.

00:09:14.360 --> 00:09:16.201
I met some folks that were interested in

00:09:16.562 --> 00:09:18.243
doing a physical therapy-related startup

00:09:18.322 --> 00:09:20.144
and said, that seems interesting to me.

00:09:20.403 --> 00:09:22.065
I'm going to go and do that.

00:09:22.125 --> 00:09:24.605
That was back in in and still at

00:09:24.625 --> 00:09:26.147
that today in the health tech space.

00:09:26.885 --> 00:09:27.385
Love that.

00:09:27.405 --> 00:09:28.025
All right.

00:09:28.066 --> 00:09:30.346
So one of the core points is that

00:09:30.407 --> 00:09:31.988
PTs already have leadership skills.

00:09:32.008 --> 00:09:33.008
They just don't realize it.

00:09:33.668 --> 00:09:36.190
What clinical strengths translate

00:09:36.330 --> 00:09:37.789
directly, not indirectly,

00:09:37.830 --> 00:09:39.630
but directly to leading teams or

00:09:39.691 --> 00:09:41.392
organizations or being successful

00:09:41.871 --> 00:09:43.673
somewhere outside the clinic?

00:09:43.732 --> 00:09:43.932
Kelly,

00:09:43.952 --> 00:09:46.293
I feel like you said my first first

00:09:46.333 --> 00:09:48.134
fifteen years were clinical and then not.

00:09:48.173 --> 00:09:49.235
So we'll start with you.

00:09:50.956 --> 00:09:53.400
what clinical skills or clinical strengths

00:09:53.421 --> 00:09:55.625
translate directly that maybe you knew or

00:09:55.686 --> 00:09:56.167
didn't know,

00:09:56.187 --> 00:09:57.649
but all of a sudden you realize, oh,

00:09:57.990 --> 00:10:00.096
I've done this before just with babies.

00:10:01.033 --> 00:10:01.493
Oh, sure.

00:10:01.613 --> 00:10:01.832
Well,

00:10:02.273 --> 00:10:04.114
so when you work with babies and children,

00:10:04.134 --> 00:10:05.734
you're also working with parents and

00:10:05.754 --> 00:10:06.653
caregivers.

00:10:07.793 --> 00:10:09.815
So you've got a lot of educating,

00:10:09.975 --> 00:10:11.855
a lot of training, a lot of,

00:10:12.774 --> 00:10:14.535
I think we have inherent motivation

00:10:14.596 --> 00:10:15.076
skills.

00:10:15.135 --> 00:10:19.136
We have some inherent sort of sales skills

00:10:19.256 --> 00:10:22.817
in order to get buy-in and compliance.

00:10:24.138 --> 00:10:26.197
I think even before that, though,

00:10:28.678 --> 00:10:30.339
we have to establish structure

00:10:31.447 --> 00:10:37.253
We have to establish trust and in

00:10:37.293 --> 00:10:41.576
collaboration with the parents

00:10:41.596 --> 00:10:42.296
specifically.

00:10:42.376 --> 00:10:43.297
And I think we do a lot of

00:10:43.317 --> 00:10:44.738
that in leadership as well.

00:10:45.479 --> 00:10:45.979
Yeah.

00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:46.460
All right.

00:10:46.500 --> 00:10:48.660
Same questions for Lindsay too.

00:10:48.681 --> 00:10:49.302
We'll come back to you.

00:10:49.322 --> 00:10:50.982
What do you think of those skills that,

00:10:51.222 --> 00:10:51.864
hey, look at this.

00:10:51.923 --> 00:10:53.625
This actually works here well.

00:10:54.546 --> 00:10:55.726
So the first thing I like to do

00:10:55.767 --> 00:10:57.467
when I meet a new patient is to

00:10:57.508 --> 00:10:59.590
understand them and where they're at.

00:11:00.219 --> 00:11:00.958
Where are they at?

00:11:01.019 --> 00:11:01.899
Where do they want to go?

00:11:02.179 --> 00:11:03.600
And what are the barriers to get there?

00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:05.900
And I think extrapolating that more

00:11:05.941 --> 00:11:08.140
broadly into a leadership space,

00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:09.441
that's all that we're doing.

00:11:09.662 --> 00:11:11.361
And so that's really where this clinical

00:11:11.402 --> 00:11:13.982
care as your roadmap to leadership began,

00:11:14.102 --> 00:11:15.202
because it was like, Hey,

00:11:15.222 --> 00:11:16.763
like the things that we do in a

00:11:16.802 --> 00:11:18.583
clinical session where we establish

00:11:18.624 --> 00:11:18.964
rapport,

00:11:18.984 --> 00:11:20.583
we build the trust that Kelly was talking

00:11:20.604 --> 00:11:20.904
about.

00:11:21.365 --> 00:11:23.085
We problem solve, diagnose,

00:11:23.384 --> 00:11:24.666
build shared understanding.

00:11:25.086 --> 00:11:26.046
What's our action plan.

00:11:26.751 --> 00:11:27.852
How do I motivate them,

00:11:28.153 --> 00:11:29.335
get them committed to it?

00:11:29.595 --> 00:11:31.135
And then how do we monitor and adjust?

00:11:31.216 --> 00:11:32.618
So that's really the roadmap to your

00:11:32.677 --> 00:11:35.100
clinical success and also your success

00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:36.201
more broadly as a leader.

00:11:36.642 --> 00:11:38.182
So that's where we're drawing parallels

00:11:38.222 --> 00:11:41.225
from between those really kind of hallmark

00:11:41.285 --> 00:11:43.048
things that make a physical therapist

00:11:43.087 --> 00:11:43.688
successful.

00:11:44.328 --> 00:11:46.211
And that also translates to successful

00:11:46.230 --> 00:11:46.672
leadership.

00:11:47.133 --> 00:11:47.432
Yeah.

00:11:47.452 --> 00:11:49.755
Military, working with kids and sports.

00:11:49.816 --> 00:11:51.238
I feel like there's so many sports

00:11:51.278 --> 00:11:51.918
analogies,

00:11:52.119 --> 00:11:53.679
our business analogies or business

00:11:53.700 --> 00:11:55.101
analogies, our sports analogies.

00:11:55.422 --> 00:11:55.802
So Todd,

00:11:55.822 --> 00:11:57.283
you came from the world of sort of

00:11:57.323 --> 00:11:59.046
sports physical therapy.

00:11:59.886 --> 00:12:03.331
Was it as obvious for you or did

00:12:03.350 --> 00:12:05.232
you figure out what you showed up outside

00:12:05.273 --> 00:12:06.554
of the sports realm?

00:12:07.852 --> 00:12:09.673
I certainly think I took a lot of

00:12:09.813 --> 00:12:12.355
inspiration from sports in my leadership

00:12:12.416 --> 00:12:14.157
journey and understanding what does it

00:12:14.177 --> 00:12:15.498
mean to be a team captain?

00:12:15.837 --> 00:12:16.418
What does that mean?

00:12:16.438 --> 00:12:17.479
What does the team captain do?

00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:18.879
What's their role on the team?

00:12:19.221 --> 00:12:21.042
How do they lead the team from that

00:12:21.081 --> 00:12:21.542
position?

00:12:22.101 --> 00:12:23.302
But at the end of the day,

00:12:23.322 --> 00:12:24.823
I think Lindsay said some of this so

00:12:24.884 --> 00:12:26.125
well is all these different things that we

00:12:26.164 --> 00:12:27.046
do as PTs.

00:12:27.385 --> 00:12:28.846
The one thing I think I'll add that

00:12:29.287 --> 00:12:31.409
we're going to talk about in Anaheim is

00:12:31.750 --> 00:12:32.751
hope, bringing hope.

00:12:32.792 --> 00:12:34.192
Because as PTs,

00:12:34.214 --> 00:12:35.254
when we work with our patients,

00:12:35.816 --> 00:12:36.736
a lot of it is we're giving them

00:12:36.836 --> 00:12:37.057
hope.

00:12:37.236 --> 00:12:38.077
We're giving them hope they're going to

00:12:38.097 --> 00:12:39.559
recover from their injury and they're

00:12:39.580 --> 00:12:40.100
going to move forward.

00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:41.442
They're going to restore their function

00:12:41.462 --> 00:12:41.883
that they had.

00:12:41.903 --> 00:12:42.703
They're going to be able to do the

00:12:42.744 --> 00:12:44.726
things that they did before they had

00:12:44.966 --> 00:12:46.129
whatever injury or condition they were

00:12:46.149 --> 00:12:46.950
coming to see us for.

00:12:47.429 --> 00:12:48.890
And that's important in the organization

00:12:48.951 --> 00:12:49.311
as well.

00:12:49.672 --> 00:12:50.192
As a leader,

00:12:50.272 --> 00:12:52.953
you have to have the ability to inspire.

00:12:52.974 --> 00:12:54.835
You have to have the ability to give

00:12:54.934 --> 00:12:56.635
hope to the folks that are following you,

00:12:56.755 --> 00:12:57.736
the people that you're leading,

00:12:58.177 --> 00:12:59.677
so that you can ultimately achieve the

00:12:59.717 --> 00:13:01.679
goals of the team of the organization.

00:13:02.279 --> 00:13:03.520
So we'll talk a little bit about that.

00:13:03.701 --> 00:13:05.542
I think that's something that is easy to

00:13:05.601 --> 00:13:06.003
overlook,

00:13:06.062 --> 00:13:08.124
but it's also very much a core competency

00:13:08.183 --> 00:13:09.304
of what we do as PTs.

00:13:09.664 --> 00:13:10.904
Yeah.

00:13:10.924 --> 00:13:12.446
The phrase that I don't know if I

00:13:12.505 --> 00:13:15.706
realized before I was in PT school,

00:13:15.886 --> 00:13:18.168
maybe I just had no concept of failure

00:13:18.187 --> 00:13:19.307
and just decided I was going to do

00:13:19.347 --> 00:13:21.149
something was imposter syndrome.

00:13:21.509 --> 00:13:22.830
I feel like something's been brought up

00:13:23.029 --> 00:13:24.210
that sort of has been brought up a

00:13:24.269 --> 00:13:24.990
couple times like, hey,

00:13:25.009 --> 00:13:26.490
I didn't realize I was allowed to be

00:13:26.530 --> 00:13:26.831
here.

00:13:27.291 --> 00:13:28.731
I know I've thought that and said that

00:13:28.772 --> 00:13:29.432
several times.

00:13:30.692 --> 00:13:31.472
How do you coach?

00:13:32.373 --> 00:13:36.953
others or self-coach yourself through that

00:13:37.014 --> 00:13:38.995
since you are as one of the friend

00:13:39.034 --> 00:13:41.696
of my podcast rebecca griffith says using

00:13:41.775 --> 00:13:43.817
familiar skills in a non-familiar place

00:13:44.037 --> 00:13:46.397
which is great for me especially because i

00:13:46.417 --> 00:13:47.677
get to come tell the same jokes i

00:13:47.697 --> 00:13:49.538
told for fifteen years in radio and

00:13:49.557 --> 00:13:50.619
they're all new here because no one's

00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:52.479
heard these gags right so how do you

00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:54.759
coach yourself or others through maybe

00:13:54.860 --> 00:13:57.140
some of those feelings uh lindsay you're

00:13:57.160 --> 00:13:58.201
already nodding we'll start with you

00:13:59.500 --> 00:14:00.020
Oh, sorry.

00:14:00.061 --> 00:14:01.403
Yeah, this is kind of my bag.

00:14:01.423 --> 00:14:03.226
That's what I spoke about at Congress

00:14:04.370 --> 00:14:06.594
earlier, or I guess last year now,

00:14:06.995 --> 00:14:08.037
on imposter syndrome.

00:14:08.744 --> 00:14:09.703
So really to break it down,

00:14:09.724 --> 00:14:11.644
because a lot of people might not know

00:14:11.664 --> 00:14:13.525
what imposter syndrome means,

00:14:13.586 --> 00:14:15.125
even though the phrase is thrown around,

00:14:15.145 --> 00:14:17.106
but really it's the inability to believe

00:14:17.126 --> 00:14:18.846
that your success is deserved.

00:14:19.607 --> 00:14:21.288
You'll hear phrases commonly like,

00:14:21.368 --> 00:14:22.388
I was just at the right place at

00:14:22.408 --> 00:14:24.489
the right time, or I tricked them,

00:14:25.448 --> 00:14:26.590
or they're going to find me out.

00:14:26.710 --> 00:14:27.750
I really don't belong here.

00:14:27.889 --> 00:14:30.910
But I would say to start coaching yourself

00:14:30.951 --> 00:14:33.312
and others through imposter syndrome is to

00:14:33.331 --> 00:14:35.432
really do a deep dive on who you

00:14:35.552 --> 00:14:36.413
are as a person.

00:14:36.773 --> 00:14:38.833
to understand what your strengths are,

00:14:38.913 --> 00:14:41.335
what are your weaknesses and owning those

00:14:41.375 --> 00:14:41.875
things.

00:14:42.076 --> 00:14:43.876
And so actually during this session,

00:14:43.917 --> 00:14:45.376
because we have ninety minutes,

00:14:45.797 --> 00:14:48.619
we're going to be inviting the attendees

00:14:48.658 --> 00:14:50.820
to engage in their own personal SWOT

00:14:50.899 --> 00:14:51.559
analysis.

00:14:51.580 --> 00:14:53.480
So looking at strengths, weaknesses,

00:14:53.561 --> 00:14:55.022
opportunities and threats.

00:14:55.562 --> 00:14:56.523
And for me personally,

00:14:56.543 --> 00:14:57.923
when I come into a space,

00:14:58.244 --> 00:14:59.884
I know what my strengths are and I

00:14:59.923 --> 00:15:01.004
know what my weaknesses are.

00:15:01.524 --> 00:15:04.326
And I own my weaknesses before anyone else

00:15:04.346 --> 00:15:05.287
can own them for me.

00:15:05.649 --> 00:15:07.068
And so I might come into a space

00:15:07.110 --> 00:15:08.309
and be like, hey, guys,

00:15:08.409 --> 00:15:10.350
I'm really good at this, this and this.

00:15:10.730 --> 00:15:11.530
But hey, Kelly,

00:15:11.630 --> 00:15:13.131
I see you're really strong here.

00:15:13.272 --> 00:15:14.251
That's where I'm going to need a lot

00:15:14.292 --> 00:15:14.831
of support.

00:15:14.851 --> 00:15:16.052
And I own that.

00:15:16.092 --> 00:15:17.572
I think that that shows a lot of

00:15:19.413 --> 00:15:21.214
that you're reflecting on yourself,

00:15:21.533 --> 00:15:23.554
that you're self-aware and you can turn

00:15:23.595 --> 00:15:26.255
those weaknesses into strengths by doing.

00:15:26.926 --> 00:15:28.466
by kind of shining a light on them.

00:15:28.726 --> 00:15:30.167
And I think when you do that,

00:15:30.346 --> 00:15:32.768
others are more likely to share their

00:15:32.807 --> 00:15:33.648
weaknesses too.

00:15:33.668 --> 00:15:35.129
So then you're really building like a

00:15:35.188 --> 00:15:37.850
sustainable solution rather than all kind

00:15:37.870 --> 00:15:39.629
of putting up fronts and being like, yeah,

00:15:39.649 --> 00:15:40.429
we know what's going on,

00:15:40.470 --> 00:15:41.750
but you're not really getting into like a

00:15:41.811 --> 00:15:43.831
deep conversation on the problem at hand

00:15:43.931 --> 00:15:45.792
and how we can build a best solution

00:15:45.851 --> 00:15:46.292
forward.

00:15:46.312 --> 00:15:48.653
So that's how I would coach myself and

00:15:48.673 --> 00:15:51.313
others through is by that SWOT.

00:15:51.433 --> 00:15:51.614
Yeah.

00:15:52.504 --> 00:15:53.346
Kelly, let's go to you.

00:15:53.385 --> 00:15:54.447
What's the focus?

00:15:54.486 --> 00:15:55.288
What's the story?

00:15:55.327 --> 00:15:57.490
What's the thing you hope people walk away

00:15:57.691 --> 00:16:00.933
from your portion?

00:16:01.014 --> 00:16:01.955
I don't know about it.

00:16:01.975 --> 00:16:03.836
I don't know specifically just from my

00:16:04.057 --> 00:16:06.220
portion, but I hope that...

00:16:08.139 --> 00:16:10.942
that the PTs in attendance walk away just

00:16:11.302 --> 00:16:13.683
kind of thinking about other things they

00:16:13.724 --> 00:16:17.485
might be able to do outside of strict

00:16:17.525 --> 00:16:20.107
clinical positions,

00:16:20.567 --> 00:16:24.291
but also that recognizing that the skills

00:16:24.510 --> 00:16:26.331
of the people in the room are needed

00:16:26.471 --> 00:16:27.753
in leadership spaces,

00:16:28.474 --> 00:16:30.615
that they bring value to those spaces,

00:16:30.634 --> 00:16:32.616
that they bring diversity in

00:16:33.336 --> 00:16:36.178
perspectives the experience and the lenses

00:16:36.198 --> 00:16:38.379
that they look through and i think um

00:16:39.059 --> 00:16:40.541
i mean in healthcare leadership

00:16:40.581 --> 00:16:43.542
specifically we always like to see leaders

00:16:43.562 --> 00:16:47.163
that have been in clinical shoes before um

00:16:47.583 --> 00:16:49.784
why why is that valuable i think i

00:16:49.845 --> 00:16:51.265
know but i want to hear why you

00:16:51.285 --> 00:16:52.506
think that because i agree

00:16:55.023 --> 00:16:57.043
again that perspective of the practicing

00:16:57.163 --> 00:17:00.004
clinician those co-workers on the front

00:17:00.044 --> 00:17:04.467
lines providers therapists kind of again

00:17:04.507 --> 00:17:06.667
shifting and thinking away from

00:17:07.269 --> 00:17:10.190
spreadsheets and what looks good on paper

00:17:10.230 --> 00:17:13.991
what makes sense on paper to what what

00:17:14.031 --> 00:17:16.313
actually translates to to real practice

00:17:16.945 --> 00:17:17.546
Yeah.

00:17:17.625 --> 00:17:18.886
Other things that we brought up in the

00:17:18.967 --> 00:17:20.646
intro and that you can find when you're

00:17:20.707 --> 00:17:22.867
perusing your APTA app,

00:17:22.887 --> 00:17:24.209
which you should download beforehand.

00:17:24.229 --> 00:17:25.528
This way you can...

00:17:25.608 --> 00:17:27.829
I feel like there's three types of people.

00:17:27.930 --> 00:17:29.290
We're recording this in January.

00:17:29.310 --> 00:17:30.290
I'll probably release this.

00:17:30.990 --> 00:17:32.172
I like to release it maybe a week

00:17:32.211 --> 00:17:33.332
before people get on the plane.

00:17:33.352 --> 00:17:34.492
This way they have something to download

00:17:34.512 --> 00:17:35.212
while they're flying.

00:17:35.772 --> 00:17:36.573
There's three types of people.

00:17:36.653 --> 00:17:38.814
People who already know in January what

00:17:38.874 --> 00:17:40.615
sessions they're going to on what day.

00:17:41.698 --> 00:17:42.798
I can be friends with those people,

00:17:42.818 --> 00:17:43.740
but I am not that person.

00:17:44.140 --> 00:17:45.901
There are people who decide on the flight,

00:17:46.342 --> 00:17:49.403
and there are people who decide four

00:17:49.443 --> 00:17:50.625
minutes into a session.

00:17:50.924 --> 00:17:52.467
And I am the second or third,

00:17:52.507 --> 00:17:53.708
depends on that day.

00:17:54.208 --> 00:17:55.368
But as we mentioned in the session

00:17:55.409 --> 00:17:57.611
highlights, emotional intelligence,

00:17:58.171 --> 00:18:00.571
courageous conversations that that's

00:18:00.592 --> 00:18:01.752
really what you're going to highlight.

00:18:02.212 --> 00:18:03.753
Is there a story that I don't want

00:18:03.773 --> 00:18:04.713
you to give away the whole thing,

00:18:04.733 --> 00:18:06.535
but we can do a movie trailer version.

00:18:06.815 --> 00:18:09.037
Is there a story where those skills made

00:18:09.076 --> 00:18:10.676
the difference in your own leadership

00:18:10.737 --> 00:18:12.357
journeys that maybe you bring into,

00:18:12.397 --> 00:18:13.519
or maybe you haven't thought to bring to

00:18:13.538 --> 00:18:20.142
the presentation?

00:18:20.182 --> 00:18:20.962
So I can,

00:18:21.202 --> 00:18:22.423
I can jump on this one if you're

00:18:22.442 --> 00:18:23.284
throwing down the puck.

00:18:23.963 --> 00:18:25.125
Um, so for me,

00:18:25.244 --> 00:18:27.185
my kind of origin story with, um,

00:18:27.765 --> 00:18:29.247
Working through imposter syndrome was when

00:18:29.366 --> 00:18:31.068
I attended a program through the Army,

00:18:31.108 --> 00:18:32.750
which plug for people interested in

00:18:32.790 --> 00:18:33.791
serving in the Army.

00:18:34.232 --> 00:18:35.855
Lots of additional education

00:18:35.914 --> 00:18:36.695
opportunities,

00:18:36.836 --> 00:18:38.617
endless career advancements.

00:18:38.718 --> 00:18:39.919
You're in leadership roles before you're

00:18:39.940 --> 00:18:40.160
ready,

00:18:40.180 --> 00:18:41.461
but that's where a lot of growth happens.

00:18:42.041 --> 00:18:43.123
So if that piques your interest,

00:18:43.503 --> 00:18:44.265
hit me up on LinkedIn.

00:18:44.285 --> 00:18:46.146
Would love to discuss your future career

00:18:46.166 --> 00:18:47.048
in military medicine.

00:18:47.887 --> 00:18:49.048
But I was in a MBA,

00:18:49.188 --> 00:18:51.229
MHA program in twenty nineteen.

00:18:51.588 --> 00:18:54.289
And I remember the first day we were

00:18:54.309 --> 00:18:56.369
doing introductions and one guy stood up

00:18:56.931 --> 00:18:57.391
and was like,

00:18:57.471 --> 00:18:58.931
I'm just here to learn what all those

00:18:59.050 --> 00:19:00.471
providers are doing all day.

00:19:00.771 --> 00:19:03.031
And I'm like, excuse you, sir.

00:19:03.051 --> 00:19:04.653
I mean,

00:19:04.853 --> 00:19:06.472
we're the ones actually doing the work.

00:19:07.574 --> 00:19:09.094
So I just knew that my voice could

00:19:09.173 --> 00:19:11.013
add value to those spaces where we didn't

00:19:11.095 --> 00:19:12.095
have seats at the table.

00:19:12.535 --> 00:19:13.214
And, you know,

00:19:13.255 --> 00:19:15.195
I'm sure Kelly's experienced this and she

00:19:15.215 --> 00:19:15.316
was

00:19:16.776 --> 00:19:18.356
what was discussing this where it's like

00:19:19.017 --> 00:19:20.657
those people in the rooms making the

00:19:20.698 --> 00:19:22.939
decisions that impact us on the front

00:19:22.979 --> 00:19:25.421
lines of healthcare and we're like who the

00:19:25.560 --> 00:19:29.403
heck came up with this dumb idea and

00:19:29.423 --> 00:19:30.903
they don't know how to actually translate

00:19:30.942 --> 00:19:32.723
into actual clinical practice and it's

00:19:32.743 --> 00:19:35.486
like we need to get seats in in

00:19:35.526 --> 00:19:38.346
those tables in those rooms so that was

00:19:38.386 --> 00:19:40.268
really put a fire under me to where

00:19:40.288 --> 00:19:41.989
i'm like no i belong in this space

00:19:42.189 --> 00:19:44.210
and i'm gonna i'm gonna bridge that gap

00:19:44.589 --> 00:19:45.550
um between that so

00:19:46.310 --> 00:19:47.211
I don't know if that's answering your

00:19:47.271 --> 00:19:48.292
question because now I've just worked

00:19:48.353 --> 00:19:49.353
myself into a tizzy,

00:19:49.614 --> 00:19:50.994
but I get really passionate about the

00:19:51.015 --> 00:19:51.414
topic.

00:19:51.915 --> 00:19:53.036
I get it.

00:19:53.297 --> 00:19:54.678
I get brought into situations.

00:19:54.738 --> 00:19:56.259
My mom said it best when I was

00:19:56.358 --> 00:19:59.221
trying hard to explain what I wanted to

00:19:59.260 --> 00:20:00.362
do that didn't exist yet.

00:20:00.803 --> 00:20:01.762
I sort of had the elements.

00:20:02.304 --> 00:20:03.345
She just put it together.

00:20:04.045 --> 00:20:04.306
She said,

00:20:04.346 --> 00:20:06.507
you speak two languages fluently.

00:20:06.586 --> 00:20:07.847
I had been on the creating...

00:20:08.971 --> 00:20:10.692
you know, I hate the term like content,

00:20:10.731 --> 00:20:10.892
right?

00:20:10.951 --> 00:20:12.813
I've been communicating for my whole life.

00:20:13.373 --> 00:20:14.834
And then I've been a clinician and went

00:20:14.854 --> 00:20:16.394
through PT school and been in the clinic.

00:20:16.794 --> 00:20:17.875
And now I was in the room full

00:20:17.894 --> 00:20:19.675
of marketers for lack of a better term.

00:20:19.695 --> 00:20:20.256
And I'm saying, Hey,

00:20:20.276 --> 00:20:21.355
I see what you're trying to do,

00:20:21.916 --> 00:20:23.336
but no PT would ever say that,

00:20:23.416 --> 00:20:24.978
or they would never do that or look

00:20:24.998 --> 00:20:26.157
at that, or that's a stock image.

00:20:26.178 --> 00:20:27.019
I don't know what you're trying to do

00:20:27.058 --> 00:20:27.259
there.

00:20:27.878 --> 00:20:28.539
But then on the other side,

00:20:28.559 --> 00:20:29.400
I could walk in through a room full

00:20:29.420 --> 00:20:30.121
of clinicians and I'm like,

00:20:30.161 --> 00:20:31.300
I see what you're trying to accomplish.

00:20:31.761 --> 00:20:33.903
That's not the way if we just streamline

00:20:33.923 --> 00:20:34.343
it down.

00:20:34.663 --> 00:20:36.023
So I am able to jump between those

00:20:36.064 --> 00:20:36.704
two rooms.

00:20:37.025 --> 00:20:38.586
And I feel like that's sort of the

00:20:38.625 --> 00:20:40.027
core of what both of what all three

00:20:40.067 --> 00:20:40.666
of you were saying,

00:20:40.686 --> 00:20:42.888
which is you take those familiar skill.

00:20:42.909 --> 00:20:43.989
You can't you can't on.

00:20:44.970 --> 00:20:46.611
I can't not look through the lens of

00:20:46.651 --> 00:20:47.751
a former radio DJ.

00:20:47.832 --> 00:20:49.211
Sorry, did it for fifteen years.

00:20:49.372 --> 00:20:50.113
You can't take that.

00:20:50.153 --> 00:20:51.012
You can take the guy out of the

00:20:51.032 --> 00:20:51.413
studio.

00:20:51.874 --> 00:20:54.315
But how do you yes and that?

00:20:54.734 --> 00:20:57.656
And that's a multiplier, right?

00:20:57.676 --> 00:20:58.017
That's good.

00:20:58.037 --> 00:20:59.156
I mean,

00:20:59.817 --> 00:21:01.238
you can't get fifteen years of radio

00:21:01.298 --> 00:21:01.719
experience.

00:21:01.739 --> 00:21:03.599
You can't get military clinical experience

00:21:03.940 --> 00:21:04.960
in a weekend course.

00:21:05.359 --> 00:21:08.602
You can't get it on Netflix of CEUs.

00:21:08.622 --> 00:21:09.241
You can't do it.

00:21:09.261 --> 00:21:10.343
And that's terribly valuable.

00:21:13.163 --> 00:21:15.106
So it's so accurate as to be able

00:21:15.146 --> 00:21:16.848
to be in that space to have the

00:21:16.888 --> 00:21:18.852
experience as a clinician to have been on

00:21:18.872 --> 00:21:20.134
the front lines and work with the

00:21:20.193 --> 00:21:20.693
patients.

00:21:21.134 --> 00:21:23.417
And then to elevate into the leadership

00:21:23.458 --> 00:21:25.560
space where you can truly multiply your

00:21:25.621 --> 00:21:25.961
impact.

00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:27.542
And for me, day to day,

00:21:27.583 --> 00:21:29.164
like that's the thing that I get excited

00:21:29.184 --> 00:21:31.008
about in leadership and why I

00:21:31.528 --> 00:21:33.048
enjoy what I do and I stick with

00:21:33.068 --> 00:21:33.529
what I do.

00:21:33.890 --> 00:21:34.390
Don't get me wrong,

00:21:34.410 --> 00:21:35.631
I love seeing patients.

00:21:35.651 --> 00:21:37.311
That was something that I truly enjoyed,

00:21:37.372 --> 00:21:38.873
be able to have that impact one-to-one.

00:21:38.952 --> 00:21:40.874
But when you look at leadership,

00:21:40.894 --> 00:21:41.474
at least for me,

00:21:41.494 --> 00:21:43.276
it's this opportunity to expand that

00:21:43.336 --> 00:21:44.896
impact, to have a greater impact,

00:21:45.156 --> 00:21:47.138
help more lives potentially through what I

00:21:47.159 --> 00:21:47.419
do,

00:21:47.439 --> 00:21:48.920
through how I lead my team and lead

00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:50.701
my organization.

00:21:50.780 --> 00:21:54.002
That's what gets me excited is taking what

00:21:54.063 --> 00:21:55.144
I was doing before,

00:21:55.243 --> 00:21:57.025
taking those skills that I built,

00:21:57.445 --> 00:21:59.027
and then leveraging them in a different

00:21:59.067 --> 00:21:59.207
way.

00:21:59.787 --> 00:22:04.669
to have greater impact now this isn't this

00:22:04.709 --> 00:22:06.769
is an imposter syndrome so this question

00:22:06.789 --> 00:22:07.810
i'm not even sure what the term would

00:22:07.851 --> 00:22:10.172
be but i felt sort of like guilty

00:22:10.991 --> 00:22:12.413
that i said i was going to be

00:22:12.432 --> 00:22:15.334
a pt i went through school i graduated

00:22:15.413 --> 00:22:16.875
i promise i have a degree i passed

00:22:16.914 --> 00:22:18.316
all the tests i got the little license

00:22:18.576 --> 00:22:21.277
somewhere around here in a file and then

00:22:21.317 --> 00:22:22.577
i was going to do this not

00:22:23.933 --> 00:22:25.615
standard pt thing i was going to leave

00:22:25.755 --> 00:22:28.154
the clinic after two years and i sort

00:22:28.214 --> 00:22:30.316
of walked around looking for permission

00:22:30.536 --> 00:22:32.276
and as we all know we know this

00:22:32.537 --> 00:22:34.196
you don't really need it that's how this

00:22:34.217 --> 00:22:35.396
world works you sort of just run around

00:22:35.436 --> 00:22:37.397
do whatever you want within reason did any

00:22:37.438 --> 00:22:38.657
of you face that too or am i

00:22:38.678 --> 00:22:40.179
the only weirdo who was like i sort

00:22:40.199 --> 00:22:41.659
of really want to do this other thing

00:22:41.699 --> 00:22:43.619
but i feel sort of guilty for

00:22:44.605 --> 00:22:46.710
looking at my colleagues or classmates in

00:22:46.730 --> 00:22:47.592
the eye and being like, hey,

00:22:47.612 --> 00:22:48.653
remember that thing we were all going to

00:22:48.673 --> 00:22:48.874
do?

00:22:49.234 --> 00:22:49.756
You're going to do it,

00:22:49.776 --> 00:22:50.798
but I'm going to do this other thing.

00:22:50.878 --> 00:22:52.863
And I still feel that to this day,

00:22:53.104 --> 00:22:53.944
you know, ten years later.

00:22:55.605 --> 00:22:57.326
I absolutely had that whenever I

00:22:57.346 --> 00:22:59.166
transitioned into a leadership role.

00:23:00.326 --> 00:23:00.507
I mean,

00:23:00.567 --> 00:23:02.367
I think especially after doing it for

00:23:02.647 --> 00:23:04.567
fifteen years and so focused on

00:23:04.768 --> 00:23:05.448
pediatrics,

00:23:05.508 --> 00:23:07.429
it was a little part of my identity.

00:23:07.888 --> 00:23:10.990
And so I did feel that guilt.

00:23:11.009 --> 00:23:13.029
I'm not sure who that guilt was directed

00:23:13.910 --> 00:23:15.931
towards, but definitely felt that.

00:23:16.030 --> 00:23:17.471
And then I had my kids in my

00:23:17.550 --> 00:23:20.592
ears the past decade plus saying, Mom,

00:23:20.612 --> 00:23:22.051
you're not really a PT anymore.

00:23:22.752 --> 00:23:23.133
But I am.

00:23:26.624 --> 00:23:29.184
So totally have felt that and lots of

00:23:29.224 --> 00:23:30.464
ways I can rationalize that.

00:23:30.484 --> 00:23:36.487
And I think like others, the way,

00:23:37.647 --> 00:23:37.887
I mean,

00:23:38.127 --> 00:23:40.147
the fulfillment I get is that I am

00:23:40.328 --> 00:23:43.128
supporting many other PTs as well as many

00:23:43.189 --> 00:23:44.950
other disciplines doing the work that they

00:23:44.990 --> 00:23:45.170
do.

00:23:45.250 --> 00:23:45.450
I mean,

00:23:46.049 --> 00:23:47.250
one of the biggest parts of my day

00:23:47.270 --> 00:23:48.691
is blocking and tackling, right?

00:23:48.711 --> 00:23:51.511
So that they can be successful in what

00:23:51.531 --> 00:23:53.813
they're doing frontline, bedside,

00:23:56.304 --> 00:23:57.105
at the bat in the gym with the

00:23:57.125 --> 00:23:57.565
patients.

00:23:58.405 --> 00:24:00.567
You're doing the thing that Lindsay was

00:24:00.587 --> 00:24:01.388
just talking about.

00:24:01.929 --> 00:24:02.609
Who designed this?

00:24:02.829 --> 00:24:04.731
Where was the person with the voice of

00:24:04.771 --> 00:24:05.932
the clinician in the room when this was

00:24:05.972 --> 00:24:07.334
being decided and why are we doing this?

00:24:08.015 --> 00:24:08.214
Kelly,

00:24:08.234 --> 00:24:09.736
it sounds like you're in that room making

00:24:09.797 --> 00:24:14.320
sure before the decision is made that all

00:24:14.401 --> 00:24:15.622
angles have been heard and thought about.

00:24:16.345 --> 00:24:18.846
doing my very best yeah yeah that whole

00:24:18.885 --> 00:24:20.426
phrase uh you know if you're not at

00:24:20.446 --> 00:24:22.007
the table you're on the menu and i

00:24:22.027 --> 00:24:23.768
would say well go ups be in the

00:24:23.807 --> 00:24:25.568
kitchen because that's where that's where

00:24:25.608 --> 00:24:27.128
it happens before it actually makes it to

00:24:27.148 --> 00:24:28.470
the table and that's a great way to

00:24:28.509 --> 00:24:30.911
start to think maybe this is just me

00:24:31.010 --> 00:24:33.152
i mean i graduated in so it's been

00:24:33.192 --> 00:24:35.313
ten years i feel like

00:24:36.032 --> 00:24:37.615
It's either happening more or we're just

00:24:37.674 --> 00:24:38.675
hearing about it more.

00:24:39.037 --> 00:24:40.979
I'm excited about either.

00:24:41.159 --> 00:24:42.941
I hope it's happening more and we're

00:24:42.980 --> 00:24:43.843
hearing about it more.

00:24:44.363 --> 00:24:45.263
But Todd, for you,

00:24:45.625 --> 00:24:47.826
do you see more people, more PTs,

00:24:47.866 --> 00:24:50.691
more of us stepping into places where we

00:24:50.750 --> 00:24:51.471
typically aren't?

00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:53.421
I think so.

00:24:53.501 --> 00:24:54.321
And again,

00:24:54.803 --> 00:24:56.464
I think we certainly hear about it more.

00:24:56.505 --> 00:24:58.026
There's social media out there.

00:24:58.046 --> 00:24:59.847
There's the LinkedIn's and things like

00:24:59.887 --> 00:25:02.490
that out there that make it more visible.

00:25:02.550 --> 00:25:03.531
But then I think if you look at

00:25:03.692 --> 00:25:05.453
CSM sessions, for example,

00:25:05.473 --> 00:25:06.375
and you sampled that,

00:25:06.815 --> 00:25:08.236
I recall when I first went,

00:25:08.257 --> 00:25:09.238
I don't know,

00:25:09.897 --> 00:25:12.419
well something like that it felt all very

00:25:12.459 --> 00:25:14.299
clinical it's all this very linear

00:25:14.339 --> 00:25:17.080
clinical path and now i feel like when

00:25:17.101 --> 00:25:18.520
you look at the sessions there's much

00:25:18.701 --> 00:25:21.122
broader things that are being presented

00:25:21.142 --> 00:25:23.782
there's much different discussions and so

00:25:23.823 --> 00:25:25.002
i think there's some of that happening too

00:25:25.182 --> 00:25:27.144
we're we are seeing the opportunity we're

00:25:27.183 --> 00:25:29.545
seeing the roles that we can fill beyond

00:25:29.964 --> 00:25:31.905
graduating and get going to the clinic and

00:25:32.145 --> 00:25:33.726
don't get me wrong my wife practices

00:25:33.866 --> 00:25:34.707
full-time in the clinic

00:25:35.287 --> 00:25:36.028
It's very noble.

00:25:36.829 --> 00:25:37.711
We need those folks.

00:25:37.851 --> 00:25:39.252
We need those folks that are going to

00:25:39.272 --> 00:25:41.336
do that because that's the core of how

00:25:41.356 --> 00:25:42.397
we're going to interact with

00:25:43.270 --> 00:25:44.852
folks in the community that we serve,

00:25:45.231 --> 00:25:46.352
but we also need folks that are going

00:25:46.372 --> 00:25:47.873
to do things beyond that.

00:25:48.553 --> 00:25:49.492
And there's going to be a balance.

00:25:49.913 --> 00:25:50.133
Yeah.

00:25:50.433 --> 00:25:50.614
All right.

00:25:50.634 --> 00:25:52.134
Let's, let's, I'll ask the same question.

00:25:52.153 --> 00:25:53.315
We'll go Lindsay, Kelly,

00:25:53.355 --> 00:25:54.555
Todd is the batting order.

00:25:55.075 --> 00:25:56.596
How do you approach CSM?

00:25:56.875 --> 00:25:58.076
You're going there as a presenter,

00:25:58.096 --> 00:25:59.217
you're going to do your ninety minutes,

00:25:59.237 --> 00:25:59.336
right?

00:25:59.457 --> 00:26:01.017
But you're hopefully going to go to some

00:26:01.037 --> 00:26:01.678
other sessions.

00:26:02.137 --> 00:26:03.857
I'm always curious how other people

00:26:04.318 --> 00:26:04.838
decide.

00:26:04.878 --> 00:26:06.078
Like I've been both.

00:26:06.098 --> 00:26:07.099
I've been the guy on the plane a

00:26:07.140 --> 00:26:08.460
day before and I've been the guy five

00:26:08.500 --> 00:26:09.319
minutes before saying,

00:26:09.359 --> 00:26:10.221
did the session just start?

00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:10.721
Where should it be?

00:26:11.421 --> 00:26:11.561
Um,

00:26:12.001 --> 00:26:14.144
how do you pick and then what are,

00:26:14.163 --> 00:26:15.846
what, if anything, you don't have to be,

00:26:15.885 --> 00:26:17.227
give me a specific session,

00:26:17.507 --> 00:26:18.667
but what do you, what's,

00:26:18.769 --> 00:26:20.089
what are the ingredients of something that

00:26:20.130 --> 00:26:22.332
excites you in terms of title or, uh,

00:26:22.751 --> 00:26:22.913
or,

00:26:23.032 --> 00:26:24.634
or details of a session that makes you

00:26:24.653 --> 00:26:25.295
want to jump in?

00:26:27.557 --> 00:26:29.759
Definitely catchy title is what's going to

00:26:29.778 --> 00:26:30.138
get me,

00:26:30.259 --> 00:26:31.619
but I'm not going to pretend like I'm

00:26:31.680 --> 00:26:33.422
actually going to look at the thing before

00:26:33.561 --> 00:26:34.221
I get there.

00:26:34.682 --> 00:26:35.323
I honestly,

00:26:35.462 --> 00:26:36.663
I don't even know if we're signed up

00:26:36.703 --> 00:26:36.943
yet.

00:26:36.963 --> 00:26:38.726
Like I'm very confused with how all this

00:26:38.746 --> 00:26:38.846
works,

00:26:39.145 --> 00:26:40.207
but I know it's all going to be

00:26:40.287 --> 00:26:40.686
okay.

00:26:41.008 --> 00:26:42.868
Todd's keeping us alive with, you know,

00:26:42.909 --> 00:26:44.369
getting everything submitted on time.

00:26:44.390 --> 00:26:46.332
He's been really keeping us together.

00:26:47.152 --> 00:26:48.973
So everyone can thank Todd for our session

00:26:48.993 --> 00:26:50.355
when it kicks off without a hitch.

00:26:50.914 --> 00:26:51.596
So thank you, Todd.

00:26:53.116 --> 00:26:54.258
So I haven't looked at any of the

00:26:54.298 --> 00:26:56.480
sessions, but I think for me, what,

00:26:57.400 --> 00:26:58.580
how I'm going to drive this is just

00:26:58.621 --> 00:27:01.441
by focusing on building relationships and

00:27:01.480 --> 00:27:03.241
meeting people there and talking to them.

00:27:03.281 --> 00:27:04.561
Hey, what sessions are you going to?

00:27:04.602 --> 00:27:05.823
And kind of that word of mouth thing,

00:27:06.202 --> 00:27:07.002
because, you know,

00:27:07.063 --> 00:27:08.804
you can only read so much into a

00:27:08.824 --> 00:27:09.564
session when you're reading the

00:27:09.584 --> 00:27:10.144
description.

00:27:10.223 --> 00:27:11.743
But really, if it's like, oh, no,

00:27:11.763 --> 00:27:13.704
this session is going to be awesome for

00:27:13.744 --> 00:27:13.904
me.

00:27:13.964 --> 00:27:15.246
I don't think I'll focus more on the

00:27:17.006 --> 00:27:19.448
more tactical clinical related sessions as

00:27:19.508 --> 00:27:19.749
much.

00:27:19.788 --> 00:27:22.351
I'd be more interested in the leadership

00:27:23.030 --> 00:27:24.112
policy things,

00:27:24.192 --> 00:27:25.333
which kind of brings us back to the

00:27:25.373 --> 00:27:27.015
last question of like, you know,

00:27:27.035 --> 00:27:28.316
we got to get in that room and

00:27:28.375 --> 00:27:29.656
that's so we can advocate for our

00:27:29.717 --> 00:27:30.297
profession.

00:27:30.538 --> 00:27:32.499
Like we wonder why our reimbursements

00:27:32.638 --> 00:27:32.940
suck,

00:27:32.960 --> 00:27:34.601
which I'm honestly not even that familiar

00:27:34.641 --> 00:27:36.522
with coming from the military sector.

00:27:37.002 --> 00:27:37.804
But I know more broadly,

00:27:37.824 --> 00:27:39.065
that's a huge issue.

00:27:39.545 --> 00:27:41.066
And we wonder, well, why?

00:27:41.145 --> 00:27:41.987
Why don't we get good?

00:27:42.146 --> 00:27:42.488
It's like, well,

00:27:42.508 --> 00:27:44.229
because we need to build those leaders

00:27:44.249 --> 00:27:46.290
that can get to those tables and advocate

00:27:46.330 --> 00:27:47.832
for what we do as a profession.

00:27:48.271 --> 00:27:50.574
And that's a huge translational gap that

00:27:50.713 --> 00:27:52.996
we need to be really intentional about

00:27:53.036 --> 00:27:53.455
filling.

00:27:53.576 --> 00:27:54.616
And I think the APTA

00:27:55.698 --> 00:27:57.601
is working deliberately in that space

00:27:57.921 --> 00:27:59.221
because they see the importance of it.

00:27:59.261 --> 00:28:00.864
So I think that's why this leadership

00:28:00.903 --> 00:28:02.526
session was picked up for an on-demand

00:28:03.007 --> 00:28:05.128
webinar where people can view it who

00:28:05.189 --> 00:28:07.071
aren't even attending CSM in person

00:28:07.852 --> 00:28:10.035
because they see the value in curating

00:28:10.174 --> 00:28:11.537
those leaders from our field.

00:28:12.067 --> 00:28:12.228
Yeah,

00:28:12.367 --> 00:28:13.848
and kudos to the Academy of Leadership and

00:28:13.868 --> 00:28:14.288
Innovation.

00:28:15.509 --> 00:28:17.490
I try not to assume that people listening

00:28:18.170 --> 00:28:21.590
understand how deep and how wide APTA is.

00:28:21.730 --> 00:28:22.611
Listen, love it or hate it,

00:28:22.651 --> 00:28:24.471
there's a bunch of PTs who are doing

00:28:24.491 --> 00:28:27.792
a lot of work behind the scenes.

00:28:27.972 --> 00:28:29.433
I wish we could shine a light on

00:28:29.453 --> 00:28:30.413
a lot more of the work,

00:28:30.453 --> 00:28:31.594
but the Academy of Leadership and

00:28:31.614 --> 00:28:34.115
Innovation really does do a lot of those

00:28:34.154 --> 00:28:36.096
things that Lindsay was talking about in

00:28:36.115 --> 00:28:36.875
terms of content.

00:28:37.337 --> 00:28:38.558
Kelly, how do you approach this?

00:28:38.878 --> 00:28:40.299
You know, Lindsay just said, hey,

00:28:40.319 --> 00:28:41.401
you got to write a catchy title.

00:28:41.441 --> 00:28:43.021
Give me something to sink my teeth into.

00:28:43.521 --> 00:28:44.962
What are some of the things you look

00:28:45.343 --> 00:28:46.503
and how do you try to like sort

00:28:46.544 --> 00:28:47.365
of, you know,

00:28:47.464 --> 00:28:49.945
mix up your bag before you before you

00:28:49.965 --> 00:28:51.767
leave CSM to make sure you got what

00:28:51.787 --> 00:28:52.428
you needed to get?

00:28:53.262 --> 00:28:53.563
Yeah,

00:28:53.603 --> 00:28:56.203
so I'm typically sort of naturally drawn

00:28:56.263 --> 00:29:00.684
to anything that in that catchy title

00:29:00.704 --> 00:29:00.984
says,

00:29:01.025 --> 00:29:01.924
we're going to show you how to be

00:29:01.944 --> 00:29:04.306
a better leader and how to better serve

00:29:04.346 --> 00:29:05.885
the people that you lead.

00:29:06.346 --> 00:29:08.727
And so I have to be pretty cognizant

00:29:08.747 --> 00:29:09.747
to, like you said,

00:29:09.787 --> 00:29:10.708
mix it up a little bit.

00:29:12.228 --> 00:29:15.209
Do some of the things in,

00:29:15.229 --> 00:29:17.409
we'll say Todd's realm that are not my

00:29:17.449 --> 00:29:17.969
forte.

00:29:18.048 --> 00:29:20.289
So kind of the more

00:29:21.352 --> 00:29:24.575
technical AI advances so that I can at

00:29:24.634 --> 00:29:27.857
least follow the conversations whenever

00:29:27.938 --> 00:29:30.200
I'm in the rooms with those conversations

00:29:30.220 --> 00:29:30.779
happening.

00:29:31.500 --> 00:29:33.142
And then, you know,

00:29:33.182 --> 00:29:35.104
being pretty far removed from hands-on

00:29:35.144 --> 00:29:35.805
clinical work,

00:29:35.865 --> 00:29:39.647
I do try to attend some sessions that,

00:29:41.509 --> 00:29:41.829
you know,

00:29:42.211 --> 00:29:43.471
kind of keep me up to speed on

00:29:43.531 --> 00:29:45.693
what the clinicians are doing as well.

00:29:46.075 --> 00:29:46.516
So so far,

00:29:46.536 --> 00:29:47.636
if you're keeping score at home,

00:29:47.696 --> 00:29:49.819
two points for marketing in terms of write

00:29:49.839 --> 00:29:51.521
a great title and you can do that

00:29:51.561 --> 00:29:52.103
however you want.

00:29:52.923 --> 00:29:53.605
Todd, how about you?

00:29:53.644 --> 00:29:54.546
How do you approach this?

00:29:55.106 --> 00:29:56.307
The first time I did it ten years

00:29:56.347 --> 00:29:56.528
ago,

00:29:56.588 --> 00:29:58.050
I said it's like it's a circus with

00:29:58.090 --> 00:29:59.573
eighteen circuses inside of it.

00:29:59.932 --> 00:30:00.874
So it can be overwhelming.

00:30:00.913 --> 00:30:01.855
How do you approach CSM?

00:30:02.770 --> 00:30:05.053
So I always try to get something that

00:30:05.073 --> 00:30:06.614
I'm not doing in my day.

00:30:06.973 --> 00:30:08.755
That's my first rule for CSM.

00:30:08.795 --> 00:30:09.635
It's so broad.

00:30:09.655 --> 00:30:11.777
There's just so many different sections

00:30:11.836 --> 00:30:13.617
and just the breadth of knowledge and the

00:30:13.698 --> 00:30:14.939
breadth of practice we have in physical

00:30:14.959 --> 00:30:15.940
therapy is really incredible.

00:30:16.440 --> 00:30:17.361
And so I've always,

00:30:17.381 --> 00:30:18.342
when I've gone to CSM,

00:30:18.981 --> 00:30:20.403
I'm going to try not to go to

00:30:20.423 --> 00:30:21.242
an ortho section.

00:30:21.303 --> 00:30:22.503
So like, sorry, ortho folks,

00:30:22.784 --> 00:30:23.884
you have great work that's going on.

00:30:23.904 --> 00:30:26.366
But that's what I lived in for years.

00:30:26.967 --> 00:30:29.388
I want to go see a neuro session

00:30:29.469 --> 00:30:31.970
or peds or something that's different from

00:30:32.009 --> 00:30:32.990
what I do every day.

00:30:33.371 --> 00:30:34.030
Because for me,

00:30:34.251 --> 00:30:35.672
I think that's where you can generate a

00:30:35.711 --> 00:30:36.353
lot of ideas.

00:30:36.432 --> 00:30:37.614
Can we cross pollinate here?

00:30:37.933 --> 00:30:39.194
Is there something that you're doing over

00:30:39.255 --> 00:30:41.496
there that maybe I should be applying in

00:30:41.855 --> 00:30:43.076
my world or in your world?

00:30:43.136 --> 00:30:43.797
in my treatment.

00:30:44.218 --> 00:30:45.538
And so that's how I approach it.

00:30:46.198 --> 00:30:47.818
I basically look at the things that I

00:30:47.858 --> 00:30:49.900
do and look at them to see if

00:30:49.920 --> 00:30:51.320
there's something particularly interesting

00:30:51.361 --> 00:30:51.980
that I want to do.

00:30:52.381 --> 00:30:53.362
But then I go look at all the

00:30:53.402 --> 00:30:55.722
other sections and say, what's there?

00:30:55.762 --> 00:30:57.363
What can I learn that's really novel or

00:30:57.423 --> 00:30:57.784
different?

00:30:58.423 --> 00:31:00.085
Almost try to find the things that are

00:31:00.525 --> 00:31:02.486
furthest away from what I'm doing in my

00:31:02.526 --> 00:31:02.905
day to day.

00:31:03.125 --> 00:31:04.646
yeah i always found it interesting or

00:31:04.767 --> 00:31:07.127
unique or i don't know sort of like

00:31:07.209 --> 00:31:09.269
uh uh the opposite it's called the

00:31:09.309 --> 00:31:11.411
combined section this meaning we come

00:31:11.431 --> 00:31:13.451
together and then we all separate into

00:31:13.471 --> 00:31:15.373
these little sections wait a minute you

00:31:15.393 --> 00:31:16.253
have a bunch of people who have a

00:31:16.273 --> 00:31:17.454
bunch of differences they can learn from

00:31:17.515 --> 00:31:18.855
each other we're all hanging out in the

00:31:18.895 --> 00:31:21.477
same room with each other uh two questions

00:31:21.537 --> 00:31:22.798
left we'll do this one question that we

00:31:22.817 --> 00:31:24.838
have the parting shot this for all of

00:31:24.858 --> 00:31:26.400
you feel free to jump on it what's

00:31:26.680 --> 00:31:27.260
one thing

00:31:27.941 --> 00:31:32.143
you hope PTs actually do differently after

00:31:32.182 --> 00:31:34.523
your presentation at CSM or this

00:31:34.564 --> 00:31:35.084
conversation?

00:31:35.124 --> 00:31:36.223
What's something?

00:31:36.243 --> 00:31:37.464
We'll start with Lindsay because you gave

00:31:37.484 --> 00:31:37.964
me the nod.

00:31:37.984 --> 00:31:39.265
You gave me the nonverbal.

00:31:39.684 --> 00:31:40.746
I'm just always nodding.

00:31:40.766 --> 00:31:41.685
I don't know.

00:31:41.746 --> 00:31:42.787
You're always going to get called on.

00:31:42.826 --> 00:31:45.807
You knew that in class.

00:31:45.827 --> 00:31:46.607
The one thing,

00:31:46.748 --> 00:31:48.969
the one behavior change I would want our

00:31:49.009 --> 00:31:51.589
attendees to make is to raise their hand

00:31:51.690 --> 00:31:56.311
when given an opportunity to impact their

00:31:56.451 --> 00:31:56.771
clinic

00:31:57.298 --> 00:31:58.337
their organization,

00:31:58.377 --> 00:31:59.759
their practice more broadly.

00:32:00.219 --> 00:32:01.398
So I always say,

00:32:01.479 --> 00:32:02.939
never close the door on yourself.

00:32:03.259 --> 00:32:04.279
And I feel like a lot of times

00:32:04.359 --> 00:32:06.980
we use diminutive languages where we're

00:32:07.019 --> 00:32:08.181
like, oh, I'm just a,

00:32:08.300 --> 00:32:09.601
or I'm only a,

00:32:10.080 --> 00:32:11.682
or I've only been practicing this long.

00:32:11.721 --> 00:32:12.422
It's like, hey, well,

00:32:12.501 --> 00:32:14.481
you bring a lot of insight to the

00:32:14.521 --> 00:32:16.722
table that you're discounting severely.

00:32:17.377 --> 00:32:18.958
So if it's one thing that they could

00:32:18.978 --> 00:32:21.699
take away is to understand how their

00:32:21.778 --> 00:32:23.920
clinical practice can translate more

00:32:23.940 --> 00:32:25.980
broadly as we've discussed ad nauseum,

00:32:26.019 --> 00:32:28.121
which it's still a very exciting topic and

00:32:28.560 --> 00:32:30.760
really kind of the meat and potatoes of

00:32:31.500 --> 00:32:33.481
our topic discussion.

00:32:34.001 --> 00:32:35.682
But the behavior change would be that

00:32:35.721 --> 00:32:37.843
they're more apt to raise their hand.

00:32:38.342 --> 00:32:39.002
Yeah, Lindsay,

00:32:39.022 --> 00:32:40.844
how that's my least favorite word.

00:32:40.884 --> 00:32:43.625
I'm a word guy just sort of diminishes

00:32:43.645 --> 00:32:45.067
and minimizes everything that's going to

00:32:45.106 --> 00:32:47.469
come after what you just what you're about

00:32:47.528 --> 00:32:47.909
to say.

00:32:47.989 --> 00:32:48.588
So it's Yeah,

00:32:48.930 --> 00:32:50.089
I hear that a lot with PTAs.

00:32:50.830 --> 00:32:52.412
And I I've said before,

00:32:52.451 --> 00:32:53.133
you say that again,

00:32:53.153 --> 00:32:53.972
I'm gonna throw you out of the room.

00:32:54.012 --> 00:32:56.115
You can't say just your PTA, say it,

00:32:56.315 --> 00:32:57.155
mean it, finish it.

00:32:57.476 --> 00:32:57.695
Right.

00:32:58.797 --> 00:32:59.777
Kelly, what are your thoughts?

00:33:00.857 --> 00:33:03.400
What is your hope of a change after

00:33:03.440 --> 00:33:04.681
someone leaves the room with you guys?

00:33:05.648 --> 00:33:08.070
I think kind of tagging onto what Lindsay

00:33:08.090 --> 00:33:08.290
said,

00:33:08.330 --> 00:33:13.253
just walking away from the conference,

00:33:13.273 --> 00:33:15.476
from hopefully our talk,

00:33:16.556 --> 00:33:18.577
realizing the leadership skills that you

00:33:18.637 --> 00:33:19.397
already possess.

00:33:19.498 --> 00:33:20.898
And even if you have no desire to

00:33:20.939 --> 00:33:24.662
ever go into an official role with a

00:33:24.721 --> 00:33:25.541
leadership title,

00:33:25.582 --> 00:33:28.044
you can be a leader within your clinic.

00:33:28.064 --> 00:33:32.707
You can be the one who takes students

00:33:32.747 --> 00:33:33.627
and educates them

00:33:34.401 --> 00:33:38.163
and shows the rest of your fellow PTs

00:33:38.203 --> 00:33:39.865
how to be good clinical instructors.

00:33:39.884 --> 00:33:42.326
You can be the one who brings change

00:33:42.386 --> 00:33:44.469
to your setting.

00:33:47.451 --> 00:33:48.892
Outside of your clinical practice,

00:33:48.932 --> 00:33:52.835
you have the skills and the knowledge and

00:33:53.816 --> 00:33:57.759
the capabilities to step up and make

00:33:57.778 --> 00:33:58.138
change.

00:33:59.240 --> 00:34:00.200
All right, Todd, no pressure.

00:34:00.220 --> 00:34:00.980
You got to follow those two.

00:34:02.134 --> 00:34:03.374
making it hard for me but i think

00:34:03.394 --> 00:34:05.315
what i'll say is just looking at us

00:34:05.375 --> 00:34:06.434
like look at four of us on this

00:34:06.454 --> 00:34:08.376
call right now and we're all trained as

00:34:08.416 --> 00:34:10.596
pts we all have pt degrees and we're

00:34:10.615 --> 00:34:13.577
doing vastly different things vastly

00:34:13.597 --> 00:34:16.617
different things but we have a core common

00:34:16.697 --> 00:34:17.938
skill set that we develop through our

00:34:17.958 --> 00:34:20.159
clinical training that for me i would love

00:34:20.179 --> 00:34:22.800
folks to walk away and say i have

00:34:22.840 --> 00:34:25.721
this fantastic set of skills that i can

00:34:25.800 --> 00:34:28.601
leverage to do a wide variety of things

00:34:28.862 --> 00:34:30.081
and that's on me to then

00:34:30.422 --> 00:34:32.005
go out and discover what it is that

00:34:32.025 --> 00:34:32.847
i'm going to do with that set of

00:34:32.867 --> 00:34:33.849
skills i possess

00:34:34.385 --> 00:34:35.626
Yeah, it's in the show notes,

00:34:36.206 --> 00:34:37.306
but I'll give you the nuts and bolts,

00:34:37.327 --> 00:34:37.547
too.

00:34:38.306 --> 00:34:39.827
Saturday, February fourteenth,

00:34:39.907 --> 00:34:40.768
leading with care,

00:34:40.807 --> 00:34:42.148
developing physical therapists,

00:34:42.208 --> 00:34:44.568
potential in health care leadership bright

00:34:44.588 --> 00:34:46.429
and early at eight a.m.

00:34:46.449 --> 00:34:47.329
That's smart, though,

00:34:47.489 --> 00:34:48.871
because most people are coming from the

00:34:48.951 --> 00:34:49.351
East Coast.

00:34:49.391 --> 00:34:50.992
So eight isn't so early.

00:34:51.371 --> 00:34:52.972
Still a couple of days into CSM.

00:34:53.813 --> 00:34:55.132
And just this is a public service

00:34:55.152 --> 00:34:55.713
announcement.

00:34:56.092 --> 00:34:58.134
If you have a significant other and

00:34:58.393 --> 00:34:59.755
realize that you're going to be at CSM

00:34:59.795 --> 00:35:01.695
on Valentine's Day, plan ahead.

00:35:01.994 --> 00:35:02.655
Order that thing.

00:35:02.856 --> 00:35:03.516
Get it delivered.

00:35:04.596 --> 00:35:06.077
I speak from experience, everybody.

00:35:06.097 --> 00:35:07.217
We've fallen in that trap before.

00:35:07.237 --> 00:35:07.759
It's on the way.

00:35:07.818 --> 00:35:08.259
I promise.

00:35:08.298 --> 00:35:08.679
I ordered it.

00:35:08.699 --> 00:35:09.320
It's being delivered.

00:35:09.340 --> 00:35:09.739
All right.

00:35:09.780 --> 00:35:10.960
The last thing we do on the episode

00:35:11.001 --> 00:35:12.882
is called The Parting Shot.

00:35:12.902 --> 00:35:16.043
This is The Parting Shot.

00:35:16.583 --> 00:35:17.985
One last mic drop moment.

00:35:18.666 --> 00:35:19.445
No pressure.

00:35:19.927 --> 00:35:22.007
Just your legacy on the line.

00:35:23.483 --> 00:35:25.023
No pressure, just your legacy on the line.

00:35:25.485 --> 00:35:27.385
You can repeat something you said before.

00:35:27.625 --> 00:35:29.186
Favorite quote, doesn't matter.

00:35:29.286 --> 00:35:30.226
We'll go in the batting order.

00:35:30.266 --> 00:35:32.086
Lindsey, Kelly, and then Todd.

00:35:32.967 --> 00:35:35.648
What's your parting shot, Lindsey?

00:35:35.708 --> 00:35:36.867
You belong at the table,

00:35:36.947 --> 00:35:38.068
but bring your own chair.

00:35:38.648 --> 00:35:39.088
Like it.

00:35:39.728 --> 00:35:40.329
Kelly, what do you got?

00:35:40.369 --> 00:35:43.610
Parting shot.

00:35:43.869 --> 00:35:44.710
I think we got you muted.

00:35:48.152 --> 00:35:50.512
Sorry about that.

00:35:50.532 --> 00:35:50.891
Parting shot.

00:35:50.911 --> 00:35:51.713
Take your phone off mute.

00:35:53.226 --> 00:35:53.465
All right.

00:35:53.505 --> 00:35:53.786
Thanks.

00:35:53.867 --> 00:35:57.630
No, I'm just kidding.

00:35:57.650 --> 00:35:57.911
Go ahead.

00:35:58.010 --> 00:35:58.172
Say it.

00:35:58.192 --> 00:35:58.612
What do you got?

00:35:58.632 --> 00:36:09.003
What's your parting shot?

00:36:09.023 --> 00:36:09.443
All right.

00:36:09.563 --> 00:36:10.184
Todd, save it.

00:36:11.686 --> 00:36:13.188
So I'm going to borrow from Warren

00:36:13.208 --> 00:36:13.509
Buffett.

00:36:13.849 --> 00:36:14.510
Invest in yourself.

00:36:15.250 --> 00:36:15.469
Love it.

00:36:15.590 --> 00:36:15.909
All right.

00:36:16.670 --> 00:36:17.771
In the show notes, the details,

00:36:17.791 --> 00:36:19.893
the information, however you want to plan,

00:36:19.913 --> 00:36:20.472
plan ahead.

00:36:20.612 --> 00:36:22.273
Peruse, I don't know, cheat code.

00:36:23.215 --> 00:36:26.956
Command A, copy, paste in the chat GPT.

00:36:27.016 --> 00:36:29.139
After you give chat GPT what you're

00:36:29.159 --> 00:36:30.480
looking for, what you're not looking for,

00:36:30.539 --> 00:36:32.721
and maybe it will spit something out for

00:36:32.740 --> 00:36:33.240
you to go.

00:36:33.822 --> 00:36:35.523
It's better than my old way of figuring

00:36:35.583 --> 00:36:36.784
out, which is throwing darts.

00:36:37.204 --> 00:36:38.425
So I will be on site.

00:36:39.326 --> 00:36:40.447
I've just heard there's a rumor there's

00:36:40.467 --> 00:36:41.208
going to be chocolate,

00:36:41.228 --> 00:36:42.690
so I'll be on site for your presentation.

00:36:43.070 --> 00:36:44.492
Thanks for doing this,

00:36:44.952 --> 00:36:46.094
and thanks for doing that,

00:36:46.235 --> 00:36:47.856
what we will see in Anaheim in just

00:36:47.896 --> 00:36:48.398
a couple of weeks.

00:36:48.418 --> 00:36:48.978
Thanks so much, guys.

00:36:48.998 --> 00:36:49.179
Thank you.

00:36:52.422 --> 00:36:53.523
That's it for this one,

00:36:53.784 --> 00:36:55.445
but we're just getting warmed up.

00:36:55.925 --> 00:36:57.847
Smash follow, send it to a friend,

00:36:58.047 --> 00:36:59.708
or crank up the next episode.

00:37:00.230 --> 00:37:01.130

Bulls**t!

00:37:14.402 --> 00:37:14.983
See, Keith?

00:37:15.202 --> 00:37:16.264
We read the script.

00:37:16.583 --> 00:37:17.244
