Not everyone needs a Ph.D., but I did…
After a car accident, I was no longer able to get down on the floor and perform the clinical work I loved with children. Which led me to explore new roles beyond clinical work as an occupational therapist.
Instead, I found myself leading the efforts to establish paediatric primary care OT service for the Midwest region, HSE public health. And in the process, I discovered a new calling to impact public policy from the perspective of a clinician.
I was drawn to this question – how do I get a seat at the table so that I can make a bigger positive impact?
In my case, I needed some heavyweight qualifications — which led me to my Ph.D. program in Public Health Research with a focus on Developmental Coordination Disorder.
After completing the program (good grief that was hard), I have the letters after my name to open certain doors.
After discovering my knack for translating abstract concepts into practical steps, I left academia to directly support leaders on the front lines of public and private health.
I started by providing occupational therapy practitioners with clinical supervision and quickly discovered –
My clients needed more than clinical knowledge.
Many were stuck because clinical work connects to everything else:
Instead of just focusing on evidence-based clinical resources, I blended all my training to empower my clients in a whole new way.
With my guidance, clients created high-caliber programs that featured financial stability, smooth processes, and well-being for the whole team.
By word of mouth, I started adding allied health managers as clients. They faced similar problems as my OT clients, just with bigger budgets and more people to manage.
As a result, I’ve been a guiding resource behind the scenes for leaders and their teams in organisations including:
My clients are refreshed, equipped, and stepping up as leaders that impact many lives. It’s the big impact I envisioned before getting my PhD.
