The Testing Psychologist Podcast

Why are negotiating skills important for psychologists? There are many situations where good negotiation skills can come in handy…and they’re not just life-and-death scenarios with risky clients. Negotiation is helpful when navigating lease terms, hiring, booking clients, and talking with your clinicians, among other contexts. I approach this episode by highlighting some key ideas from the book and applying them to the contexts I just mentioned.

Our practice is currently implementing the Entrepreneurial Operating System, or EOS, as we scale. My intent is to chronicle this journey in relative real-time, providing you all with an inside look into the process. Warning: this will be messy! I hope to keep it as real as possible, and sometimes “real” means complicated and challenging. This series is admittedly more relevant for larger group practice owners, but the principles are applicable across all levels of business. Today is the 9th episode in the series. I’m talking about our first “quarterly pulsing” meeting with our integrator!
