If you’re thinking of starting a practice or ramping up your supervision service, you have to follow Sydney, Australia’s Jo Muirhead (@Jo_Muirhead)! She’s a Business Coach for Health Professionals and Founder and CEO of Purple Co, the colorful counseling clinic she started in 2009. It stands for Purpose for People, a pledge she promotes to help people cope with crisis and return to work following illness, injury, or trauma.
A full-time therapist, supervisor, life coach, and entrepreneur, her book The Entrepreneurial Clinician is an exemplary guide for those looking to learn the trade. A CEO and colleague of hers describes Jo as “a forward-thinking leader in her own right who has the excellent capacity to educate, coach, mentor and collaborate with those she works with, and help them achieve. It takes a special talent to direct the focus of entrepreneurial clinicians in a meaningful manner that consistently produces results: and she does it daily.”
This September, Jo’s hosting the Future Proofing Health Symposium, a conference with interview sessions, panel discussions, skill-building workshops, and CE credits available for the U.S. and Australia. Dr. Amy Parks, child psychologist, “Brain-trainer,” and Founder of the CSD kicks off the Conference on September 19th as the keynote speaker.
Jo says this annual event’s ultimate objective is to empower people to build sustainable, profitable practices. She helps people value their worthwhile doing the work they love in the manner they prefer. She explains, “Our future does not need to be this dark, it’s time for us to shine the light back on the amazing contributions that we bring to this world. And we can’t do it alone. We need each other. And we need to be inspired and encouraged and affirmed. And that’s what this symposium is all about.”
