How Does Compassion Prevent Burnout and Improve Business Growth? Dr. Larry Arbeitman Shares This Surefire Way To Improve Your Practice
Have you ever met someone who just hits you with their heart as soon as you meet them? The way they speak and how they present themselves just exudes love for what they do, and for what they want to see more of in the world, and you can't help but be really moved by what they have to say? This was my experience with Dr. Larry Arbeitman, and I think you'll catch it too when you listen to this conversation. Larry has built an incredible practice but he was oberving a phenomenon he now calls the "compassion crisis", that more and more people are feeling lack of connection with their health care providers and it's leading to poor results, low trust, and even worse, apathy with many Doctors. Leaning on his experience from 21 years in business, having 18 associates, being married to a therapist, and really, just consistently focusing on making his practice about the patient and not about him, he's developed a deep understanding of fostering greater connection in his practice, and his success shows. You'll hear some of his greatest lessons, how he's recovered from injuries and his own challenges, and why he believes all Doctors need to start their careers with taking care of their own emotional health so they can effectively care for others.
