When Doctor TK built her group practice, she was able to hire therapists, interns, an admin team, and contractors. The knowledge that she learned while studying for her licensing exam was believed to be her first breakthrough into understanding psychology from a business perspective which relates to structuring and growing people within your organization.
In the first part of the ‘7 Hiring Lessons & Blessings’ episode, Doctor TK shares the things she learned from hiring individuals in her group practice. She elaborates them into subparts so that you'll be able to do a proper assessment around every process before finally adding people to your organization.

Standout Quotes:

"Slow down the hiring process and ask yourself what is the need for another therapist. And more importantly, do you want to hire and oversee that other therapist whether they're licensed or not." (06:15)
"As a licensed provider, you have to be very familiar with your board and your state regulations around what type of entity you can and cannot have." (09:58)
"If you don't understand the benefits of saving money, having a nest egg, and understanding that you're going to be onboarding these clinicians or you're going to be paying them to do training, you may want to think again about having a group practice." (14:22)
"Onboarding processes are really important because they automate your business." (19:08)
"I recognized, being an employee, that I do a lot better in settings where even a supervisor, beyond a performance evaluation, tells me what a great job I'm doing or if I know that I'm meeting the billable hours. So instead of just highlighting the people who were not, why don't you also highlight the people who are actually doing their job thoroughly?" (25:06)
