Happier at Work #4 - Are you working in the right place?

Is where you work working for you?  If it is, we need to celebrate it.  If not, it might be time to look for another position.  Let's start with this - no position is perfect.  The best setting, time with patients, flexibility scheduling, reduced documentation, stress, quality of management, job responsibilities, fun coworkers, nice treatment rooms, great patient population....the list of things goes on and on.So what's most important to you?  Our advice is to make a list of your top-3 attributes.   In our annual 'State of Pelvic Health' survey, we asked this question - on average, here were the results:Treatment time with patients - 80%Flexible hours or working less than 40 hours per week  - 73%Relationship with your manager and coworkers - 58%Clinical mentorship + growth - 41%Maximum pay - 33%But these are averages, your top-3 will be different.  And these can change depending on your time in life!We certainly know our priorities shifted with Clay!This is where self-awareness is so important.  Find a position that offers the things that are most important to you.  If your current position is doing that, then celebrate it and let the little irritations go (no job is perfect).  If it's not - and they can't change - it might be time to look for something else!Downtraining & Vagus Nerve MasterclassFor those interested in learning more about working with the nervous system, check out the Downtraining and Vagus Nerve Treatment Masterclasses!  With Downtraining, we take a broad look at the three different types of downtraining to use with your patients.  In the Vagus Nerve masterclass (www.pelvicptrising.com/vagus), we take a deep dive into specific vagus nerve techniques you can use with all your patients.About UsNicole and Jesse Cozean founded Pelvic PT Rising to provide clinical and business resources to physical therapists to change the way we treat pelvic health.   PelvicSanity Physical Therapy (www.pelvicsanity.com) together in 2016.  It grew quickly into one of the largest cash-based physical therapy practices in the country.Through Pelvic PT Rising, Nicole has created clinical courses (www.pelvicptrising.com/clinical) to help pelvic health providers gain confidence in their skills and provide frameworks to get better patient outcomes.  Together, Jesse and Nicole have helped 500+ pelvic practices start and grow through the Pelvic PT Rising Business Programs (www.pelvicptrising.com/business) to build a practice that works for them!  Get in Touch!Learn more at www.pelvicptrising.com, follow Nicole @nicolecozeandpt (www.instagram.com/nicolecozeandpt) or reach out via email ([email protected]).Check out our Clinical Courses, Business Resources and learn more about us at Pelvic PT Rising...Let's Continue to Rise!
