Episode Synopsis

"What occupies your time?"
In this episode, I discuss the occupational therapy lens and how I approach my own OT pitch/elevator speech. We have come a long way in promoting our profession, but in my daily life I still encounter some confusion and lack of awareness about what we do.

This podcast offers ideas on how to bring to life our OT pitch and create a lasting impression for the people we interact with.
