Clinic Growth Hack: Ask for Commitment, Get Results

This week on Coach’s Corner, Jennifer and Tracey dive deep into the power of authoritativeness—and why showing up as an expert (not a dictator!) is the secret weapon for clinic owners who want to add $10K to their business, fast.

You’ll learn:

• The difference between being authoritative and being a steamroller (and why it matters to your team and your patients!)
• Why empathy is important, but authority is essential for real results
• How to avoid desperation and keep your standards high—without losing your best clients or staff
• Real-world examples from inside successful clinics (including what happens when you finally ask for commitment)
• Simple, actionable questions you can use today to boost your confidence and get others on board

Whether you’re leading a team, guiding patients to better outcomes, or just trying to show up more powerfully in your business and life, this episode is packed with practical takeaways you can use right away.

Key Takeaways

• Authoritativeness ≠ Dictatorship: Leadership is about clarity, confidence, and direction—not steamrolling your team or clients.
• Empathy + Authority: The best clinic owners blend genuine care with assertive expertise. Don’t be afraid to step up and lead.
• Ask for Commitment: Whether it’s a new staff checklist or a patient care plan, ask for buy-in. “Can I get your commitment?” is a game-changer.
• Self-Check: Regularly ask yourself, “How confident am I that this will get done?” If confidence is low, it’s time to strengthen your authority muscles.
• Raise Your Standards: Don’t let desperation erode your authority. Attract and retain the right people—staff and patients—by standing firm on your vision.

Action Steps

1. Identify where you need to show up more authoritatively—in your clinic, with your team, or in patient care.
2. Start asking for commitment in key conversations.
3. Challenge yourself to honor your own commitments first—lead by example.
