About this episode

Andy Barker shares transformative advice from his mentor that changed his approach to his physiotherapy career.

When I started my first job in pro sport, straight out of Uni, I thought the quickest way to become a great physio was to copy the people around me. Then my mentor gave me one piece of advice that completely changed the way I approached my career. In this episode, I share how this advice helped me stop comparing myself to more experienced clinicians, overcome imposter syndrome, and focus on making small, consistent improvements... Advice that helped me achieve my dream job just 15 months after graduating. I'll also share some more advice I received, plus my own advice for you as a new grad physio to help you accelerate your development faster than you ever thought possible! Enjoy the show!
