The Testing Psychologist Podcast Dr. Jeremy Sharp: Licensed Psychologist & Private Practice Consultant

It’s not often that I get so inspired by interview content that I actually have trouble focusing on the next question or have trouble staying present, but today was one of those days! My guest, Shelli Warren, brings decades of experience to this conversation about leadership and business development, and I had to work HARD to keep myself present because she was offering so many insights that could apply to my own practice and development as a leader. In addition to a high level discussion about leadership teams and how to be a good leader, we get into topics like:









* Why Shelli prefers “team members” to “employees”







* How to increase engagement in your practice and reduce turnover







* Loneliness as a leader, and what to do about it









Cool Things Mentioned









* The Testing Psychologist mastermind groups and business consulting







* Stacking Your Team Website

With two kids who play competitive sports, the topic of concussion is both personally and professionally relevant for me. My guest today, Dr. Josefine Combs, is here to talk through the ins and outs of concussion. We primarily approach concussion through the lens of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center’s “profile” model of concussion symptoms and trajectory of recovery. These are just a few topics that we cover:









* Basics and definitions: concussion, TBI, brain injury, severity, and so forth







* The profile model of concussion conceptualization from UPMC







* What “recovery” from mild TBI should look like







* Treatment approaches for each of the concussion symptom profiles







* Whether kids should play tackle football









Cool Things Mentioned









* The Testing Psychologist mastermind groups and business consulting







* Concussion Materials







* SANFORD CONCUSSION PLAYBOOK

Anyone else out there noticing that a few measures are getting long in the tooth (what does that even mean)? Or that you’ve settled into administering the same thing for years now? During our testing team retreat back in February, we made a couple of big changes to our battery that I thought I would share for anyone else considering these options. This is a quick and pointed episode that also serves as a mini-review of a couple different measures.

Today’s episode tackles another question that frequently comes up in my consulting: what do I mean by SOP’s, and what are the most important SOP’s to have in your practice? If you don’t know what an SOP is, don’t worry! I’ll define it and share why they’re important. We’ll also dig into common SOP’s and how to craft even a simple version of an SOP to get you started.

For the past few years, I’ve been out of the conference game. COVID certainly played a role, but I admittedly just struggle with conferences. Most of them are too big, too crowded, too packed full of sessions, and honestly too theoretical, with less applied information than I would like. So much so that I created my own anti-conference, the Crafted Practice business retreat for testing folks. That said, something is calling to me this spring to check out some conferences again. Today, I’m highlighting a couple of my favorites, along with specific agenda sessions that I’m personally interested in.
