    Your Tools or Your Impact: What Defines Your Value?

    Are you caught up in certifications and tools rather than the outcomes you deliver? What if your true value lies beyond the techniques you use?   Welcome back to another FANTAWESOME episode of The Uncaged Clinician. I'm your host, David Bayliff, thrilled to be with you today. We’re exploring a groundbreaking concept: why your tools don’t matter as much as you think. While skills and certifications are important, let’s focus on what we truly provide for people. Often, we're caught up in the details—tools, techniques, and methods. However, the real impact lies in the outcomes we deliver to our clients. In this episode, we'll dive deeper into this topic and discuss how focusing on results can redefine our work. In this episode, I’ll cover the following topics with you: Why tools and certifications shouldn’t define your practice. How to shift your focus to client outcomes and transformations. Real-world advice for early-career clinicians and practice owners. How this mindset can revolutionize your evaluations and conversations with clients   The tools you use are secondary to the outcomes you deliver. When you focus on what truly matters—bringing life-changing results to your clients—you’ll find clarity and purpose in your practice. Whether you're navigating the early stages of building a practice or looking for a fresh perspective in your established career, this episode is here to inspire you.   Uncaged Hack: "When you can shift your focus of really what it is that you do for people, the ultimate outcomes, then it almost doesn't matter what type of person that you're working with." —David Bayliff   If you found value in this episode, don't keep it to yourself!

    Shift Client Focus from Price to Value with Simple Strategies

    Are you tired of hearing, "What’s your price?" or "Do you take my insurance?" at the start of every call? What if there was a way to steer those conversations toward the real reason your clients need you?   Welcome back to another FANTAWESOME episode of The Uncaged Clinician. Hey there, it's David Bayliff, and today, I’m diving into one of the biggest pain points for cash-based practitioners: navigating those tricky pricing and insurance questions. As a coach and clinician myself, I know how it feels when the first words out of a client’s mouth are about cost instead of care. So, in this episode, we’re flipping the script! How can you guide conversations to focus on value instead of just price?   In this episode, I’ll cover the following topics with you: Why traditional responses to “What’s your price?” can miss the mark How to reframe client calls into meaningful interviews Specific questions that guide clients to focus on their needs Practical examples to soften price discussions   At the end of the day, it’s about making your clients feel heard and understood. The key lesson? Take control of the conversation—it’s your chance to show them why you’re the right person to help. Thanks for tuning in to Uncaged Clinician! Now, let’s put these strategies to work and redefine how you handle client inquiries.   Uncaged Hack: "Ask them, ‘What has inspired you to seek help today?’ That one question shifts the focus from cost to care.” —David Bayliff   If you found value in this episode, don't keep it to yourself!

    Are You Setting Bold Enough Goals to Truly Succeed?

    Are your goals bold enough to push you to change, or are you playing it safe? What if thinking bigger could unlock potential you never knew you had?   Welcome back to another FANTAWESOME episode of The Uncaged Clinician! I’m your host, David Bayliff, and today we're discussing the power of bold goal setting and the mindset shifts required to overcome our self-imposed limits. Often, we settle for "safe" goals in both patient care and personal growth because we fear failure or embarrassment. This episode will explore how this cautious approach can stifle our potential and how embracing more ambitious goals can unlock profound personal and professional advancements.   In this episode, I’ll cover the following topics with you: Why small goals feel safe and how they might limit growth The role of self-doubt in goal setting and how to move past it The importance of big goals in building new habits and fostering personal growth How ambitious goals can increase your impact and lead to greater achievement   As we wrap up, remember: growth and change are often uncomfortable but essential. Set big goals that challenge you and transform your habits. Embracing bold goals isn’t just about achievement—it’s about becoming the best version of yourself. So take that leap, dream big, and let’s make an impact together!   Uncaged Hack: “Make big goals.
