27 | Finding Confidence, Not Putting Classes to Sleep, and Tech Challenges - Listener Questions

Today's episode of Lactation Business Coaching with Annie and Leah features three interesting and practical questions that were asked by the podcast's listeners.

From actionable tips to becoming an IBLC, to learning your audience for the best teaching strategies, to fixing processes when switching to a new EHR, this episode is dedicated to improving your experience as a current and future IBCLC.

"I am telling you, it is so hard to move from one (EHR) that you're already using to another one. That can be for many different reasons. 
Sometimes it's pricing, sometimes it's about features. And if you're happy with your platform, just stick with it because there is no perfect platform is the main thing that I've learned while doing this."

In this episode, we will cover:

• Becoming an IBCLC: Finding a mentor & shadowing
• Teaching strategies
• Switching your EHR
