So the New Year is upon us!  We have a reflective perspective of last year and what we accomplished or didn’t. And we have a vision, hope and goals of what we want 2010 to be like.

Have you taken the time to do an inventory of your life? Where in your life are you incongruent or not performing and leading how you’d like to? Paraphrasing Dr. Patrick Gentempo, the level of incongruency leads to a proportionate level of destruction. As chiropractic coaches, we at Rosen Coaching help chiropractors reach new levels of success in all areas of their lives, including how to thrive in a true wellness model.

I speak to chiropractors day in and day out. And I truly feel it is time that our profession stand up and lead by example.  Are you the epitome of health, energy and vitality?  Is your diet full of rich, whole foods? Do you exercise daily? Do you live a healthy, vitalistic chiropractic lifestyle?  If you don’t, it’s time. And don’t try and hide it – take a stand to share with your office the lifestyle changes you are making. The time is now to create excellence in YOUR health. And ask them to join you.  If you do, good for you! Set some new goals and ways you can push your healthy lifestyle to the next level.

Excellence, leadership and health are not created by chance, but by choice: Every day and in every moment.  Choose to be a true leader in your community who leads by example. Actions are so much more powerful than words covering incongruence.  Be the change you want to see.  This is your year to lead your community to health and wellness!

Subliminal messages aren’t evil.  We’re communicating all the time through non-verbal cues, tone of voice, and facial expressions.  The words you say are only 6-7% of communication, the rest is sublimal.

What is your office environment telling your clients?  What does it say about you, your philosophy, your values and the culture you are trying to create?  The key is to have congruency in your verbal message, your non verbal communication and your office culture and environment.  You can’t talk about consistent chiropractic care and wellness strategies while having plants dying in the corner and cobwebs everywhere!  Your C.A. can’t be smoking cigarettes at the front desk and the doctor can’t be out of shape talking about health! Everything, including the light switch covers needs to be congruent with your message.

So make some time and try to see your office space from the perspective of a new person.  What do they see? Is it a healing environment that has a good ‘feel’ to it?  What needs to be changed, refreshed, or updated?  To give the Red Carpet Experience to every person, it starts with the message your office environment is sending on your behalf.  It’s subliminal and it matters.
