Leadership and growth

More Than Foot Traffic: How to make your clinic famous (for the right reasons)

Podiatrists do profound, life-changing work. Yet the profession often flies under the radar.

In this interactive opening keynote, international facilitator and author Leanne Hughes invites you to step back from the clinical chair and look at your clinic through a completely different lens.

Drawing from her upcoming book Work Fame and unexpected case studies from outside healthcare, Leanne will show you how to translate the deep care you already have for your patients into a visible reputation that does your marketing for you.
In this session, you will discover how to:

• Rethink what actually makes a clinic stand out in a crowded healthcare market
• Engineer patient and team experiences that spark genuine word-of-mouth growth
• Build a trusted reputation that naturally attracts new patients, referrals, and top talent
