The first three years after PT school can shape your entire career trajectory—but most new grads feel lost, overwhelmed, or stuck. This training helps you bridge the gap between student and professional by giving you a clear leadership and communication strategy rooted in real-world clinical practice.

Led by Dr. Sean Harris and Kasey Hankins, this course walks you through the essential skill sets that no one teaches in school: how to lead yourself, build career clarity, manage difficult workplace dynamics, and develop your communication style to influence both patients and colleagues. Whether you're dealing with impostor syndrome, micromanaging bosses, or finding your footing with experienced PTAs, this session provides actionable tools and reframes to help you thrive—not just survive.

You’ll also learn how to build upward influence (even without a title), ask smarter questions without seeming inexperienced, and create professional relationships that open doors.

This course is part mentorship, part mindset shift, and part tactical game plan for becoming a clinician that others want to work with, refer to, and follow.

What You'll Learn:

  • How to lead yourself before leading others

  • Building career clarity and goal alignment

  • Managing impostor syndrome through confident reflection

  • Effective strategies for peer-to-peer and upward communication

  • Navigating micromanagers and difficult workplace cultures

  • Building mentorship and professional networks that last
