From Clinician to CEO

This week's guest is Lisa Catallo, group practice champion.

Nobody hands you a leadership manual when you start a group practice. You just... figure it out. Or you don't. 😬 Lisa Catallo figured it out, twice, and now she helps other group practice owners do the same.

Lisa Catallo is a psychotherapist turned business coach who helps Canadian therapists build profitable, sustainable group practices, without losing their minds (or their values) in the process. She's the founder of the Group Practice Network, host of the Empower to Lead podcast, and someone who has genuinely lived the messy, beautiful, complicated journey of building not just one but two group practices from scratch.

And fun fact, she got her master's degree the week she turned 50. Late bloomer energy, fully activated. 🌟

Top 3 things you will learn:

  • Therapists already have leadership skills — they just don't realize it. Listening, staying regulated, holding space, seeing a few steps ahead — it's all there. It's just a mindset shift away.
  • Stepping into the CEO role vs. hovering at the edges. What happens when nobody guides the ship, and what it actually looks like to lead on your terms without feeling like a dictator.
  • Community as a survival tool — the honest conversation about how lonely group practice ownership can be, and why having a peer group
