Welcome to Culture Focused Practice with Dr. Tara Vossenkemper
Hey hey! Welcome to Culture Focused Practice, where we cut through the fluff and get real about what it actually takes to run a successful group practice. We’re talking about the good, the bad, and the holy shit, why didn’t anyone warn me about this? parts of practice ownership.
Why Culture Actually Matters (And Not Just as a Buzzword)
If you’re exhausted from playing the guessing game with hiring, retention, managing a team, and making sure your practice isn’t a chaotic mess—yeah, you’re in the right place. Culture isn’t just about good vibes and a solid mission statement. It’s about trust, accountability, and making sure your practice doesn’t implode under the weight of dysfunction. A strong culture makes hiring easier, keeps your best people around, and sets the tone for how your team shows up every day.
EOS for Group Practices: A Lifesaver (or at Least a Sanity Saver)
Let’s talk EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System)—one of my absolute favorite tools for getting your practice running like an actual business (instead of a never-ending dumpster fire). Inspired by Gino Wickman’s work, EOS gives practice owners a framework for leadership, decision-making, and getting the right people in the right seats. If you’re tired of winging it and want a proven system, you’ll love this.
Leadership, Hiring, and Keeping Your Team from Jumping Ship
We’re diving deep into leadership, hiring, retention, and all the people-related chaos that comes with running a practice. Because let’s be real—your success isn’t just about you. It’s about building a team that doesn’t make you want to pull your hair out. That means hiring the right people, keeping them happy (without coddling them), and making sure your team actually functions instead of just coexisting.
What You Can Expect
Straight talk, no BS. Some episodes will be quick five-minute insights, others will be deep dives into leadership, hiring, and all the messy in-between. Expect solo episodes, Q&A sessions, and the occasional guest interview to keep things interesting.

Let’s Do This
Running a group practice is a wild ride, but you don’t have to do it alone. I’m pumped to have you here, and I can’t wait to help you build a practice that actually works—for you, your team, and your clients.
Let’s make this damn thing happen.
See you soon,
Tara (you can call me Dr. V if you’re feeling formal, but let’s be honest—you won’t)

With a hearty blend of depth, irreverence, and a solid dash of humor (or so she hopes), Tara helps practice owners navigate the can-be-messy process of hiring, culture-building, vision generating, people-y issues, and all the other things that keep you up at night. When she’s not consulting, she’s probably wrangling her animals or homeschooling her kids—because why not add more chaos to the mix?
