November 8-10, 2024

Dallas, Texas

You thought diagnosing and treating patients would be the most challenging aspect of running a practice.

Turns out, that’s the easiest part of your day.

Lead your pediatric practice like a CEO…

(even if you don’t have an MBA)

Let's talk about boundaries for a moment...

Does your team constantly bombards you with “emergencies,” making it difficult for you to set effective boundaries and carve out CEO time to develop the strategy and vision your practice needs to accomplish your goals?
Can you remember the last time you had your charts done by 5:30 or the last time all of your employees showed up on time?

Who has creative energy for strategic planning after a day like that?

THE PROBLEM

the same old stuff

just isn't cutting it

You’ve attended conferences and streamed podcasts, but it’s all easier said than done. You just don’t have the support system to get the traction you need to effect change.

no matter how hard you try you

just can't build the team

You’d love to share the load with your team but who can trust them to do it right? It’s easier to just do it yourself and be sure it’s done correctly the first time. Less stress for you that way, right?

you have so many dreams but

just not enough time

You have great dreams for your practice but with the challenges of constant interruptions and an inadequate support system, you can’t get past just treading water.

With all of these challenges, wouldn’t it just be simpler to sell out to private equity?

We've been there before.

You’re too busy and your people don’t get it.

But... We know the path from here to there and can show you the way.

Unlike other conferences that play the same generic, one-size-fits-all practice management content on repeat...

We deliver honors-level business strategy expertly tailored to the needs of executive pediatricians.

We’ve worked with hundreds of independent pediatricians over the years and they all want the same thing…

To fulfill their vision by working on their business rather than in their business.

Imagine empowering your team to take ownership of their day-to-day challenges in your office so you have time to focus on your own CEO work.

MORE TIME...

Imagine honing a vision for your practice and then setting it in motion so you can have more autonomy, more freedom, and more impact.

MORE IMPACT...

Imagine building such a strong framework in your practice that you never have to entertain another private equity call ever again…

MORE FREEDOM...

INTRODUCING...

very well thought out

RESULTS DRIVEN

WHAT TO

EXPECT AT PEDIATRIC CEO INTENSIVE

For pediatricians who want to take their visionary and leadership skills to the next level.

ENERGIZING EXPERIENCE

"I started working on a resume two weeks ago because I was tired of getting nowhere with my practice. This weekend totally rejuvenated me and made me realize how to tackle my problems and gave me the energy to do it."

-2023 Intensive Attendee

LIFE CHANGING RESULTS

"Attending the CEO intensive and having to listen to theory changed my whole business plan. Organizing and structuring our office and recognizing what I needed to do to lead (not what others needed to do), was life-changing."

-2023 Intensive Attendee

Here’s the truth:

Too many pediatricians are selling their practices because they lack the confidence and skills to run a business in today’s world.

But being an entrepreneur isn’t rocket science.

And it definitely isn’t medicine.

If you can make it through medical school, you can learn what it takes to crush the business side of your practice.

So don’t give in to the high-pressure private-equity-of-the-month club. Instead, do what you’ve always done and hit the books.

Learn the skills.

Show them who’s boss!

You worked really hard to get to where you are. Why leave it all on the table now?
