The Rise Strategy Workshop Episode

This week on The ND Gap, Jordan takes listeners inside the Rise Strategy Workshop, an in-person event where nearly 50 clinicians spent two days tackling leadership, goal setting, and the elements that fuel passion in practice. This episode features experienced clinicians sharing the advice they wish they’d received when starting out: the mistakes, the setbacks, and the lessons about patience, consistency, and believing in yourself when challenges arise.Jordan opens by reflecting on how difficult it was as a new graduate to find honest guidance. While everyone seemed “busy” or “everything’s great,” true growth comes from putting your work on the table, hearing feedback from peers and mentors, and learning from their insights.At Rise, she invited seasoned clinicians to take a risk: support someone walking a few steps behind them in their career. This episode captures that wisdom, openly shared so listeners can benefit from it without repeating the same mistakes.Her message is simple: listen, then pass it along, over coffee, at a conference, or to a new grad who needs it. Mentorship isn’t just a one-way street, and when clinicians lift each other up, the entire profession thrives.----Welcome back to The ND Gap, the podcast about the space between where naturopathic medicine is today and where it needs to go.
