<p dir="ltr">In this episode, Dawn Gabriel, Steph Korpal, and Christy Pennison come together to discuss the power of collaboration and its potential to fuel growth for group practice owners. They share personal experiences of finding support and connection within a community of like-minded professionals.</p> <p dir="ltr">Stephanie Korpal and Christy Pennison are both group practice owners with multiple locations. Both women are passionate about their group practices, teams, and communities they serve--Stephanie in St. Louis and Chicago, Christy in central Louisiana (Alexandria and Natchichoes to be exact). That passion also extends to fellow group practice owners, a role they both know takes so much! Together, they have founded and launched a unique, special place for group practice bosses to connect, collaborate, and crush it. Their business, The Practice Collab, is designed to help practice owners work less, make more, and live most.</p> <h2 dir="ltr">The Problem with Group Practice Ownership</h2> <p dir="ltr">Group practice owners often face unexpected challenges and feelings of loneliness in their decision-making processes. They may feel overwhelmed and second-guess their choices. The weight of responsibilities can lead to burnout, but finding a supportive community can be the key to preventing that.</p> <p dir="ltr">Steph Korpal: "Group practice ownership is one of those things that you can prepare all day long for, but you're never gonna be fully prepared for everything that's going to come at you... It can also feel really lonely because you're having to make decisions oftentimes... by yourself."</p> <p dir="ltr">Christy Pennison: "Group practice owners often don't give themselves enough credit for what they are actually doing, and so they often feel overwhelmed or they're worrying about... did I make the right choice?"</p> <h2 dir="ltr">The Power of Collaboration</h2> <p dir="ltr">Collaboration allows group practice owners to bounce ideas off one another, find clarity, and make effective decisions.
