Chris shares what he has learned from seeing both sides of the associate–practice owner relationship, including why some associateships thrive while others fall apart.
We unpack:
• The biggest green flags Chris looks for in an associate
• How to work out what kind of practice actually suits you
• Why changing practices often doesn’t solve the real problem
• The role ownership, coaching and personal development play in early career success
• What practice owners actually want to see in a new graduate
• Why being coachable can matter more than being highly skilled
• The expectations practice owners often get wrong
• Why every promise should be put in writing
• How to assess whether you should stay in your current associateship or move on
• Why the person or practice you like the most isn’t necessarily the best fit
• A real story of an associate who nearly questioned chiropractic altogether before finding the right environment
