In any profession or sport, there are those who play safe within the boundaries of what is ‘known’ and what is ‘possible’.  And then there are those who are out there, close to the edge, innovating and creating what is possible, doing what has never been done before. Or doing it differently than it’s ever been done before.

In mountaineering, being the first to climb a mountain is deemed a First Ascent. The climber pushes their skill on the unknown route, charting the way as they go. The danger is high, and the glory is high. And it is what evolves the sport. As soon as one person climbs it, it opens up a whole new realm of possibility for other climbers.

In surfing, there are those who surf the known spots. And there are those who explore and test what most deem ‘impossible’.  I prefer warm water surf myself, but this is a beautiful short film about pushing the limits of surfing.

At Rosen Coaching, we interact with many different types of people who are chiropractors.  Are you going to be a chiropractor who is evolving our profession? Or one who plays it safe with what you’ve always done?

My question is, “What are you going to do this year to better yourself as a chiropractor?”

Here is our Top 10 Ways to Be A Better Chiropractor:

1. Lead by example.

2. Be in the best physical shape of your life! Eat, exercise and move how your body was designed to, daily! If you are not the epitome of health, how can you lead pepole to health and wellness?

3. Clear up any mental or emotional weights from your past. Get therapy, support, coaching, or whatever it takes to allow yourself to be present and free!

4. Clean up any relationships that aren’t 100% happy or healthy.  Be present and loving to your family. Spend time with those you love.

5. Strengthen your team at the practice. Create a strong vision that everyone supports. Design a powerful mission that you all work towards each and every day. Click here for a powerful presentation for you and your team!

6. Deepen your understanding of Chiropractic Philosophy. Pretend like you are getting a Ph. D. in Chiropractic Philosophy: read, write, and think critically. Our philosophy is the ‘why’ behind what we do.

7. Study the science of what it is that we do. Without a thorough understanding of neurology, physiology and anatomy fresh in your mind, how can you feel certain on what effects are created from an adjustment, let alone convey that to your patients or the public?

8. Master your art.  Do you love your technique? Do you get great results? If yes, than learn more of it.  What would take you to the next level in your skills? If you don’t, find a technique that resonates and you can immerse yourself in. Learn all that you can to clear nerve interference and help those in need in your community.  If you were a professional athlete or musician you would practice daily. You are a professional chiropractor, behave like one and practice your butt off!

9. Spend time learning how to communicate effectively.  All the knowledge, philosophy and skill does nothing unless you can share your message in a way that people can hear it. Learn to communicate in a way that is congruent with our philosophy and healing. And in a way that empowers rather than controls.  If you can share your message better, you can help more people, guaranteed!

10. Develop your certainty.  Increase your confidence.  Address any doubts, fears or demons so that you be clear on who you are and what you offer. Get your passion, motivation and excitement back for what this profession can do for the world.

If you dedicate yourself to being a better chiropractor by the end of 2011, tackle each of these things and work diligently on them, you will be!  Train like a professional at your craft. Play like you mean it. It’s your life, what are you waiting for? It’s time to help the masses!

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. No gifts, no pressure. Just family, friends, and loved ones. The idea of just getting together to be together, being present, enjoying each other’s company and being grateful for what we have.  The most important thing in our lives are the relationships and love we have.

The first key to having the life and chiropractic practice of your dreams? Be grateful for what you have. What you focus on, expands.  So if you focus on what you don’t have… guess what?  It grows. So why not focus on what you are thankful you already have?  It will naturally expand. This mindset and feeling of gratefulness will bring you to an entire new level of attraction and success.

My suggestion? Write down 5 things you are grateful for in your personal life and 5 things you are grateful for in your chiropractic practice at the end of each day. This is the starting place for explosive growth and success in a TRUE Wellness Model. Have a mindset of abundance and satisfaction drive your decisions and actions, not from a place of lack and fear.

At Rosen Coaching, we are so grateful to have you be a part of our lives and to have you be a part of our mission to have chiropractors be the recognized leaders of TRUE healthcare and the wellness revolution!

In the book, Change or Die by Alan Deutschman he studies the 3 keys of change, and what works and doesn’t work.

In a recent blog post, Ask vs. Tell, I explored the power of asking questions to shift consciousness, beliefs and therefore behaviours.   This follow-up post is meant to look at the two types of questions we can ask: Scare Questions or Care Questions. What do I mean?

A good portion of our profession and practice management companies uses scare tactics and fear to manipulate people to do what we want.  Our perspective, at Rosen Chiropractic Coaching is that fear and manipulation have no place in a chiropractic wellness model.  We stand for clean communication with compassion.

In Change or Die, Alan Deutschman explores the three “F” words: Force, Facts and Fear and why they don’t work. When the three “F” words become too much, people go into denial as a protective mechanism. They make irrational decisions that could cost them their life (only 10% of heart attack patients changed their lifestyle despite the fear and threats).  In contrast, Dr. Dean Ornish had 75% of heart attack patients change their lifestyle with the three “R” words: Relate, Reframe, Repeat.

So we need to relate to the people we care for. We need to build rapport, bond, connect, offer hope and relieve their fears.  We need to reframe their consciousness and beliefs about health, and ask questions to shift their current paradigm, to plant seeds and teach under the radar. And we need to repeat these questions in our daily interactions, our Touch-Tell-Ask-Teach and find ways for people to become successful every visit, working towards a new goal. We as their doctor, need to lead them, inspire them and empower them.  And we need to create a culture in our office creates a supportive community.

Because making changes in life can be challenging and these new behaviours need to be reinforced with love and support, not fear and commitment. This is exactly what we do at Rosen Coaching to help you have a thriving wellness practice! We address the 3 R’s in the LAASR Mastery process. If you want a communication system based on the 3 R’s then give us a call!
