LIVE from the Combined Sections Meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana, Jenna Kantor, SPT guest hosts and interviews Sandra Norby on women in leadership roles and their presence on social media. Dr. Sandra Norby PT, DPT is the president of the American Physical Therapy Association Private Practice Section.

In this episode, we discuss:

-Social media for private practice owners

-Sandy’s reflections on her social media experience

-Do men tend to be more recognizable on social media?

-Ways women can showcase their accomplishments

-And so much more!

 

Social media is an important tool for business owners to market their existence because now, more than ever, “People find you through social media.”

 

One of the benefits of social media is being able to engage with people all over the world. Sandra believes, “It’s a way for us to share our story to a wider audience in a split second.”

 

Sandy recommends building connections with people who will help share your successes on your behalf. She has found that, “We need to support each other.”
