The following is a list of 26 training webinars put on by Petty, Michel & Associates. These were recorded live  for doctors who wanted to improve their skills as a CEO, for the office managers, and for marketing managers. The links provided take you to the recorded webinars on PM&A’s members site.

Over the years, we have learned a seemingly obvious fact: Any difficulties you are having in practice or in business usually do not stem from clinical issues, but from administrative ones.

Why are CEO’s paid so much?

One reason is that they can make such profitable difference in the business that boards of directors and accountants see that rewarding them is a good investment. Likewise, good managers and good marketers can be worth their weight in gold.

In chiropractic business training, however, there has been little adequate training or support for these roles.  Yet the comparison to high paid executives and managers in other businesses also apply your office.  The more effective you are as a practice CEO and leader,  the more your office will be prosperous. And the better your office manager is, or your marketing coordinator, the more solvent your business will also be.
