If you employ new graduates in your podiatry business and you're constantly frustrated by their apparent lack of biomechanical knowledge and clinical application, I think I can shed some light on the problem, and I'm going to play my guitar (poorly) to help explain my thinking.

Dr Patrick McEneaney has grown his podiatry empire from three clinics to ten clinics in less than twelve months, and he has done it during COVID-19. Who Does That? One thing he has learnt is you cannot manage ten clinics yourself.
Dr Patrick McEneaney is the owner of Northern Illinois Foot & Ankle Specialists and was my guest on Ep 048: Rapid Business Expansion, (Nov. 2019), and Ep 074: 8 Business Tips During COVID-19, (April 2020).
In addition to his ten clinics, he also employes 17 podiatrists with a total team of 73.
On this episode we discuss:
"Every time they make a decision, even if you don’t like the way they went about it, you’ve got to trust the end result is how you want it to be".
Final Tip
When you’re interviewing someone you’ve got to have a gut feeling they are a good fit. Hire them, pay them well and make sure you make time to train them properly.

This is part two of a conversation I had with a group of podiatry students from Australia, the UK and the USA. If you missed part one (Episode 106), make sure you go back and have a listen.
If you're an employer, I think you'll be interested in hearing their answers, which revolve around respect, imposter syndrome, niching down and where technology fits into our future.

On this episode, I talk with a group of podiatry students from Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. The students studying podiatry right now are the future of our profession, so all of us need to understand how they think and how they view the profession they have chosen to become a part of.
The full podcast recording is well over 90-minutes, so I decided to break it easier to digest by breaking it into parts one and two.
The questions I asked on this episode are:
Q1: What areas of podiatry do you like most and why?
Q2: How important do you think social media is in podiatry?
If you're a current podiatry business and you're considering employing a new graduate soon, I think you'll find their answers very insightful.
My podiatry student guests include:

Nicola O'Brian is from ESSEX in the UK, and over the past 20-years she has specialised in Aesthetic treatments, initially coining the phrase “Cosmetic Podiatry”.
To be perfectly honest, Nicola hated the idea of Cosmetic Podiatry, in fact, she would be totally offended if a patient even asked about cosmetic podiatry because she was a qualified health professional and health professionals don't do that sort of thing.
However, life has a way of putting our egos in check and out of financial necessity, Nicola was forced to temporarily undertake a small amount of cosmetic podiatry work to make ends meet.
Little did she know this would take her on an amazing 20-year journey. Not only did she initially Double Her Income, since then you can add another zero, that's also how successful this career pivot has been.
She now supports practitioners to learn contemporary skills to generate increased practice revenue with a range of innovative workshops & CPD courses, such as The Lacuna Method for fungal Nails, Medi-Ped & Pedisafe Nail reconstruction. For more details, you can visit her website www.lyfcpd.com.
"Don’t give up and you need to think outside the box. Be a little creative and don’t be frightened to experiment. If someone says you can’t do something, do not listen to them".

Jay Henderson is the author of The Ultimate Guide To Hiring Superstars. His company Real Talent Hiring, is dedicated to helping employers take the guesswork out of people performance using the Real Talent System—the only objective metric system of its kind in the world.
He has a passion for sports psychology and high-performance training, and he takes a scientific approach that measures how people think and how they make decisions. In contrast, most evaluations are use behaviour tools.
Understanding how your potential hire thinks and makes decisions is THE key difference in hiring accuracy, training and team development… ultimately, leading to your success.
On this episode we discuss:
"Think of your mindset like a rubber band stretched upwards and downwards between your hands. It can snap back down to your reality, where you are now because that's where you're comfortable, or your current reality can snap up to your vision. The one that wins is the one that's most dominant in our minds and emotions".
Final Tip
It's really important that you value yourself. Give yourself the gift of taking care of the important things in your business, and do not hire sub-par team members.
"How we think about ourselves is reflected in how we run our business."
And on a final note, stop telling yourself the story that there's no one available or there are no good people to employ. This is a negative mindset.
