We had our very first plus-one team event this weekend, and I have to say… I was pretty blown away by the turnout.
I planned a surprise magician/mentalist for the evening, which made for a lot of “wait… how did he do that?!” moments. But what stood out the most to me had nothing to do with the tricks (don’t get me wrong, I’m still trying to figure out how he did that). It was all of the moments in between.
There were so many times I looked around the room and saw people talking, laughing, introducing their partners, and just enjoying the night.
It’s one thing to build a team of talented clinicians. It’s another thing entirely to build a culture where people genuinely enjoy being around each other. I can’t take all of the credit for that because each and every person in the room contributes to our culture in ways that amaze me every day.
As the owner, I don’t take that for granted.
This group works incredibly hard every day to show up for the clients we serve, and getting the opportunity to step back and see them relax, connect, and share a night together was pretty amazing.
It’s become common for me to get caught up in running the business and tackling problems every day. I didn’t realize how much I needed some team time away from the office.
I feel lucky to be part of a team like this. The work we do matters, but the people who make it happen are what truly make this practice special.
Thank you to our team and their wonderful plus-ones (who gave up their Friday night) for making it such a fun and memorable night! I’ll never forget it.
To say you did a great job is an understatement. Your performance was so engaging that I was able to be completely present the entire time. For that, I thank you! You were so engaging, funny, and used the right amount of therapist humor. 🙂
