Season 2 Episode 2: Navigating the First Weeks as a New Grad OT with Addy

Episode Summary: Starting your first OT job is a huge transition. After years of structured university learning, suddenly you’re expected to make clinical decisions, manage a caseload, and figure out your therapy approach—on your own. This week’s guest, Addy, is a brand-new OT navigating her first few weeks in paediatrics. She’s highly self-aware, and while that’s a strength, it can also make the transition even more overwhelming when you focus too much on what you don’t know. We cover: • The importance of knowing your own learning style • How self-awareness can be both a strength and a challenge • Why supervisors need to ask the right questions—not just assume a new grad is thriving  Big takeaway: New grads don’t need to know everything straight away. Confidence comes with time and experience!   Early Career Clinical Resource - https://alyce-svensk.mykajabi.com/pl/2148656146 Sample Diary - https://alyce-svensk.mykajabi.com/pl/2148656142 Client Snapshot Tool - https://alyce-svensk.mykajabi.com/pl/2148656130     Hosted by: Alyce Svensk The OT Coach Australia www.theotcoach.au
