17 | Home Consult Bags, Office Visit Efficiency, and Feeling like a Know-Nothing Newbie: Listener Questions! Lactation Business Coaching with Annie and Leah

We’ve got more listener questions in this episode of the Lactation Business Coaching podcast. From what’s in our home consult bags to running an office visit when you don’t have all the time in the world, we’ll share what works and what doesn’t in our own private practices. And if you’re a new IBCLC wondering if you’re ready to launch your practice, we’ve got some special words just for you.

Key Takeaways

  • What’s in your bag? Leah and Annie literally unpack their consult bags
  • Time’s up: In the office, families have less time, so Leah has to be super efficient to make the most of it.
  • New in town: Leaping into private practice can feel intimidating when you feel like you know less than the other IBCLCs in your area. Building a community is the best remedy for professional insecurity.

Quotes

  • “I don’t think any good clinician out there knows everything”
  • “We all started in the beginning and had to learn and grow”
  • “You can’t do this on your own, you need other people and other people need you”
