Episode 35: Wonderful & Terrifying: Use Your Fears As A Gas Pedal [Featuring Ken Clark]
Starting and Growing your business is scary, terrifying, and exciting.
Ken Clark and I talk about starting your private practice, when to grow and scale, and creating and fostering a culture of respect, appreciation, and leadership.
We talk about how growth doesn't always equate to financial success, how putting effective leadership in place is crucial, and how empowering your leadership to make decisions is vital.
We also talk about stepping into and embracing your fears, as well as using them as a Gas Pedal, not a Brake.
Ken owns Chenal Family Therapy and SemiPrivatePractice. He's grown his group practice from 1 employee to hundreds, all while implementing strategy, intentionality, and leading by example.
More about Ken Clark, LMFT, CEO of Chenal Family Therapy, Practice Coach at SemiPrivatePractice.com:
With a reputation for confidentiality and extensive experience bringing collaboration to high-conflict environments, Ken has a unique ability to tap into the human elements behind complex situations and quickly move towards effective solutions.
When not leading his award-winning system of mental health clinics, he loves helping entrepreneurs and corporate leaders develop multi-year scaling strategies, working with family-owned businesses to manage change, and helping companies build better teams by developing talent optimization strategies.
