Episode 21 - Stephanie Kerr-Guest

Episode 21 - Stephanie Kerr-Guest     Stephanie is a speech and language therapist who works with children 0-4 who are non speaking or not speaking yet and their parents to support their communication.    Stephanie specialises in giving parents access to the right information and support so they feel less overwhelmed.  She primarily provides parent support so they feel less overwhelmed & more confident in their own skills and abilities to support their child's communication.     In this episode Stephanie shares her journey of starting her business when she became a mum when she started to recognise the reality of managing motherhood and recognising that what she had been asking parents to do versus what she could actually do was two very different things and thereby she set up her private practice.   Steph shares her learning curves and thoughts that recognising she was a great therapist but needed support to build her business.  She shares how she wishes she had started years ago but was held back because she was worried about all the different aspects of running a business but overcame this to just get started.  We talk about how we can get distracted through branding and what we call our business and how people come to you not because of your name but because they want to work with you.  We talk about the need to develop connect with people and build trust.  We discuss a lot around making people safe and the importance of being our own brand and us getting out there and people recognising our faces.  Steph shares her thoughts and journey on her mindset around charging and selling her support and we discuss moving towards understanding that people choose to work with us.      Follow Stephanie here to find out more about her work: Website: www.skgspeechtherapy.co.uk Instagram: @skg.speechtherapy   ——   Let's get you clients and get you paid.   This podcast is here to support you to take forward your business in mind - that is any business that supports peoples mental or emotional wellbeing.    Here's how to connect with me.....   Website: www.triciamurray.co.uk   Follow me on insta: https://www.instagram.com/businessinmind.triciamurray   Join my newsletter: https://tricia-murray.mykajabi.com/newsletter-subscription-business-mentoring   Get my free guide - 10 Easy Ways to Build Community for Your Business in Mind: https://tricia-murray.mykajabi.com/10-ways-to-build-community
