What does it really mean to run a values-aligned practice?
As a group practice owner, I've learned how powerful it is to build a culture that actually reflects our values. In this episode, I sit down with my friend Tara Vossenkemper to answer the question "what is EOS?" and explore how it helps us create a true values-driven meaning in our practices.
Tara and I talk about her journey with EOS core values, why it's so important to stay values-aligned, and how leaders like us can be intentional in demonstrating values in the workplace. We share real stories, mistakes, and lessons from our own practices so you can see what this looks like in action.
Here's what you'll hear in our conversation:
- How EOS core values provide structure for a sustainable values-driven meaning in group practice
- Why so many owners struggle to define their values — and how EOS makes it easier
- Practical ways of demonstrating values in the workplace that actually change culture
- Hiring strategies to build a team that's truly values-aligned
- How doubling down on EOS core values shapes culture, leadership, and long-term success
If you've been asking yourself "what is EOS?" or struggling with how to live out your values-driven meaning, this episode will help you lead with clarity, confidence, and alignment.
