Overview
My guest today is Annie Schuessler, MFT, who coaches clinicians through her private practice in California. Our topic is a fun but important one: Finding and Owning your Superpowers as a private practitioner. We’re each gifted in some ways, but the challenge is often sifting through it all and focusing on what we’re best at. Then we have to know how to delegate or de-emphasize the rest. The process can be a struggle, but I hope this conversation will help you know it’s ok to be you and help you own what you’re good at.
What We’ll Learn
- Identifying your superpowers:
- Feedback from others can help pinpoint your superpower
- Personality tests can help reveal your strengths and weaknesses
- “We often devalue the things that come most naturally to us.”
- Finding strengths within your weaknesses
- How introverts and extroverts can maximize strengths as private practitioners
- How to OWN your super powers: use the “what’s best for me” filter
- Balancing your superpowers with other aspects of your business
- Being clear on the activities that make you most effective: “Cut the clutter”
- Using your superpower to build your practice:
- For extroverts: spend time networking and find public speaking opportunities
For introverts: focus on one-on-one networking and marketing through your website, blog, or podcast
