Is Your Practitioner Mentoring Boosting Utilisation Fast Enough? | GYC Podcast 373

Are your mentoring sessions actually developing your team - or are they just another meeting nobody looks forward to?In this episode of the Grow Your Clinic podcast, we break down how to transform the way you support and develop your practitioners, starting with one simple but powerful shift: ditching the word "supervision" for "mentoring." We unpack why this change in language isn't just cosmetic - it fundamentally changes the dynamic between you and your team. We dive into how to structure your mentoring sessions so they're focused, productive, and actually move the needle on practitioner performance, including the 1-3-1 problem-solving model that teaches your team to bring solutions, not just problems. You'll learn how to use simple tools like focus sheets and Slack prompts to keep practitioners accountable and prepared before every session. Plus, we explore how to measure whether your mentoring is actually working, from tracking clinician confidence and competence to gathering honest feedback from your team.If your current approach to developing your practitioners feels inconsistent or ineffective, this episode gives you a practical framework to build a mentoring culture that sticks.Need to systemise your clinic?
