About this Event
You trained for years to do the work. Nobody trained you to run the business around it.
That's what this mixer is for. Come see why Toronto Event Hub's monthly networking events are rated one of the best in Toronto. This November, we’re dedicating the room to GTA coaches, therapists, practitioners and clinic owners to connect, share what’s working, and refer business to each other.
BONUS: a 15-minute talk on the 5 places a private practice quietly leaks money by guest speaker: Michael Wong, founder of SOAP Notes:
- No-shows and late cancellations
- Sessions delivered but billed late, or never
- Admin hours nobody pays you for
- Selling single sessions when a package would serve the client better
- Tax surprises, including HST thresholds and clients outside Canada
You’ll get a one-page practice audit to fill out over drinks, and leave knowing roughly what these leaks cost you each year and which one to fix first.
Who Is This Event For?
This mixer is built for coaches, (psycho)therapists, psychologists, counsellors, dietitians, physiotherapists, chiropractors, naturopaths, RMTs, SLPs, OTs and anyone else running a private practice in the GTA.
