Career Development for Practice Managers Supporting you — not just the role you perform
Being a Practice Manager isn’t just a job — it’s a career.
And yet, so many Practice Managers are left to figure that part out on their own.
You’re expected to lead, influence, communicate confidently, manage up and down, and carry significant responsibility — often without guidance on how to grow, position yourself, or advocate for yourself professionally.
The Career Development section of the Practice Manager Academy exists to change that.
This is a dedicated space focused on you — your confidence, your professional identity, and your long-term career as a Practice Manager.
Why This Matters
Many Practice Managers don’t struggle because they lack capability.
They struggle because they:
- don’t always see the value they bring
- find it hard to articulate their impact
- feel unsure how to advocate for themselves
- second-guess how they show up professionally
- feel “stuck” without a clear sense of what’s nextCareer development isn’t about climbing a ladder for the sake of it.
It’s about feeling confident, credible, and clear in your role — now and into the future.This section provides support to help you do exactly that.
