323 – Tips & Tools to Work Smarter, Not Harder

In February, the MedSLP collective hosted a free four-day workshop to help medical SLPs accomplish more by doing less! This week, we’re sharing Day 3 of the workshop on the Swallow Your Pride Podcast! Who decided that burning out was a badge of honor? There’s a stigma across the board — that in order to succeed as an SLP, we have to push beyond our limit DAILY. Tune in today to catch Day 3 of the Effective SLP Workshop, where Kelly Caldwell, MA, MS, CCC-SLP, dives into real-world examples and applicable tools to help you work smarter, not harder. Dive into different working styles and learn how to cut your assessment documentation time in half with Kelly’s templates and calculators you can apply to your documentation!
