As Valentine’s Day has just passed, many of our clients did Valentine’s internal referral promotions where they ask their clients, “What Do You LOVE About Chiropractic”? and gave them an opportunity to refer family and friends.

Coaching chiropractors and interviewing many who are struggling, I have seen that there is a huge portion of our profession who are burnt out, unmotivated and off purpose.

So I am asking you to contemplate what you LOVE about being a chiropractor? Please post it as a comment to this blog and let’s help clarify our purpose of why we do what we do.  Without this purpose, it is easy to be drained and burnt out with the ins and outs of running a practice and hard to stay motivated to do so.

At Rosen Coaching we want you to LOVE what you do! If you find yourself a little off purpose, a little unmotivated or a little out of love with being a chiropractor, we’d love to offer you a FREE 30 minute consult to see if we can help!

“Look at ever path closely and deliberately. Try it as many times as you think necessary. Then ask yourself, and yourself alone, one question: ‘Does this path have a heart’?”  ~Carlos Cataneda~

What is the essence of your practice?  What matters most?  If you have passion.  If you are ‘on purpose’.  If you love what you do.  The truth is, everything comes down to your focus, your enthusiasm and the energy you bring to your practice and the people you serve.  

In my chiropractic coaching, I work with chiropractors more about their head space and mindset than on their procedures.  I can easily consult you with typical practice management style and tell you a script to say for your Report of Findings/ Recommended Action Plan.  But if you don’t have passion, or certainty, or value yourself as a chiropractor and the care you provide, it won’t help. We have to coach through these intangibles before we can move forward.

At the time of death, the ancient Egyptians removed all the meaningless organs and discarded them. One that they kept - the heart.  I myself have been in ancient Egyptian temples and tombs and am intrigued by their understanding of the human experience.  When an Egyptian dies and goes to receive judgement by Anubis, their heart is weighed on a set of scales against a feather.  If their heart is lighter than the feather, they have lived a good life and move to the afterlife.  How light is your heart?  When do we let ourselves over-think our practice and ignore our true knowing, our intuition and what is in our heart?

Most chiropractors I know or have coached, who have done the ’scare tactic’ model of communication tell me deep down it didn’t’ feel right. They went to bed with a pit in their stomach and their heart knowing the incongruency.  But it sounded like a good idea to use fear for patient compliance and to get the promised results.  It might work for short term compliance, but to get long term follow through our job is to have passion, tell people our truth, show them the consequences of their choices and build human relationships through hope and loving communication. 

Here are the steps to help you regain heart in your practice:

1.Truly discover your heart, passion and certainty for chiropractic

2. Bring it to your practice in every aspect: communication, marketing, team building etc.

3. Love people where they are and show them there is another way ~ lead them!

4. Make your systems and communications congruent with what is true to your heart

5. Have the practice and life of your dreams
