18 | 3 Ways to Collaborate with other IBCLCs – Lactation Business Coaching with Annie and Leah
Why go it alone when community and collaboration can strengthen your skills and combat compassion fatigue? In this episode of the Lactation Business Coaching podcast, Annie & Leah share three ways you can grow your local connections and create more opportunities for all of you. From informal to formal, there’s something in here for everyone.
Key Takeaways
- Show up and offer help. Volunteering with local lactation groups can boost your visibility and offer much-needed help
- Not available? Informal referral networks connect separate private practice lactation consultants without any legal agreements.
- Ready to make it official? Formal group practices have legal agreements in place and can be profitable for everyone
Quotes
- “Show up and ask what you can do to help.”
- “I want all of us to make a living. How can we do that for each other?”
