Super Shrinks
I got a chance to attend the Super Shrinks Conference today with Scott Miller, PHD as the speaker. He was phenomenal! A Super Shrink is the unusually effective and talented psychotherapist. Through Scott’s research it became evident that Super Shrinks are always seeking consultation, engaging with questions, and trying to figure out what they need to improve. It is about improving our outcomes as therapists and not settling in our comfort zones.
It got me thinking not only about how we need to seek to grow in our clinical skill but in our technological skill as well.
The Therapist's Website
What makes a therapist website different than other therapists? At Zynnyme, we have built websites not just for therapists, but for small business owners, political figures, medical professionals, and more. But what makes us unique when we coach on website building for therapists, is that we are therapists. We GET IT!
A Technofabulous Office - the Paperless Options
Before you say anything, don’t look at your office and the file cabinets. Just because you have files, doesn’t mean you can’t go paperless! If you have a private practice or a group practice, you can start now and deal with your file cabinets later. Don’t let scanning and such deter you

What is technology coaching and why business owners need it:
Have you ever had a really good idea? I mean, a really good idea... an idea that made your body tingle with excitement and energy? And then quickly came crashing down with the reality that you had no idea HOW to implement your reality? Or, became overwhelmed with how to connect with other people to make your vision a reality?

How it cost me over $1,000 to use a free image on Google
So, those of you who have met me know that I am pretty passionate about technology. I LOVE to help people streamline what they are already doing to make their lives easier (and more joyful). That means sometimes I get roped into fun projects like being on the board of my local professional organization. I was elected as a "member at large" because I refuse to be the technology person (even though I am LOL).
My Software Picks
So, I told you yesterday about how I got a shiny new all-in-one computer. Generally, I get the cheapest laptop on clearance at OfficeMax... However, with all of this fun tech stuff at ZynnyMe- I found that there were some major limitations! But, quick note to y'all I built all of my websites and did a ton of graphic design, video recording etc. on a relatively recent, but not top of the line laptop- less than $500... so you don't have to spend 2k to run a business!
So, back to the point- when I went to www.ninite.com which software did I choose to load on my lovely new computer and why? Here is the lowdown:
