January 22, 2027 – LIVE WEBINAR – 9:00AM – 12:15PM CST

Overview

Effective leadership in pediatric therapy requires more than clinical expertise. Leaders must build strong team cultures, empower others, navigate complex personnel and mentorship dynamics, support diverse employee needs, and understand the business factors that influence practice success. This learning opportunity provides pediatric therapists in current and emerging leadership roles with practical strategies to lead teams with greater confidence, intention, and effectiveness.

Designed for practice owners, managers, supervisors, mentors, hiring leaders, interviewers, and therapists aspiring to lead, the Leadership Exchange explores what it takes to build strong organizations and thriving teams, from big-picture leadership decisions to the everyday interactions that shape workplace culture. Participants will learn about mentorship, managing generational differences, hiring, supporting neurodivergent employees all work better when leaders have first created a culture characterized by clarity, trust, respect, psychological safety, accountability, and excellence.

Additional content explores how leaders can create workplaces where neurodivergent employees can thrive while supporting effective team functioning. Participants will consider how to recognize and address barriers, provide appropriate workplace supports, navigate challenging conversations, and foster equitable practices that promote employee success, collaboration, and productivity.

For therapists who own, lead, or are interested in developing a practice, the Leadership Exchange also introduces essential areas of business acumen, including financial considerations, recruiting, referral development, and the connection between business decisions and clinical operations. Throughout the course, participants will gain practical tools and perspectives to strengthen problem-solving, communication, delegation, and team development. Particular attention will be given to how effective communication and delegation can help leaders build stronger teams, support sustainable growth, and retain valued team members.

Effective communication and delegation are critical to building teams that can grow, perform, and thrive without relying too heavily on any one leader.
