Sarooshi advises owners consider their practice culture and above all, ensure that practice leaders remain authentic to their own style and remain calm. She lays out a specific plan-o-gram of Monday – Friday activities from which practice owners can choose to implement. Saroochi emphazises that consideration must be given to the various ages and stages of practice associates in choosing which activities will be most effective.

Her message, “Don’t underestimate how you can strengthen your team’s coherence and culture! Don’t be afraid to share your anxieties, hopes and dreams.”

Dr. Robert Allaway

Optometrist

Optometry, University of Waterloo

Chief Optometry Officer of Vision Alliance

Where do you see your practice / eye care in 10 years?

I graduated in 1996 from U Waterloo and there really aren’t many things that have stayed the same in our field since then. Technology has changed our role from GATHERERS of data to INTERPRETERS of data. I expect that this trend will continue which will lead to better patient care and, hopefully, an increase in our scope of practice. On the business side of things, we will be facing increased pressure from outside forces so we will be need to evolve our business model or risk becoming obsolete.

What changes do you see in eye care coming down the pipe?

The recent move towards specialization within optometry will continue I think. Vision Therapy clinics, Dry Eye clinics, Low Vision clinics, etc. will become even more prominent – either as a stand-alone model or as a ‘clinic within a clinic’ model. There will always be a market for traditional optometry but alternative models will become more common.

What is something you have done in your practice to set you apart?

It sounds somewhat cliché by now but we really focus on creating a great experience for our patients. Great service is the new norm so it’s critical that you go beyond that if you want to stand out and earn the trust of the patient. We have found that the best way to create a world class experience is to establish an excellent culture within the practice. Take care of your team and they will take care of your patients.

What advice would you give a new grad today?

I speak with optometry students every year as part of my Eye Recommend and Vision Alliance duties and their biggest concerns seem to be related to the business side of optometry. All of the OD schools do a great job training the clinical side of our profession but most of them fall short in the business education area. I HIGHLY recommend that new grads (or OD students) find a good mentor who is willing to help educate them. Join a group and take advantage of the networking opportunities or reach out to an expert who can guide them through the difficult patches. There are literally thousands of us who have owned a practice – no need to make all of the same mistakes that we did.

Last time you laughed?

Laughter is a huge part of my day. I laugh with family, with my team, and with my patients. Laughter makes everything better.

If you had a time machine what year would you travel to and why?

Well, at this point I would have to say that I would travel back to early 2019, go to Wuhan, China, and persuade them to test everyone for a new Coronavirus.

Describe your perfect day.

Sunny spring day (warm but not hot, no bugs yet); drive my restored 1983 Land Cruiser into the bush with my wife and dog; long walk in the mountains; ride my bike home; cook a great meal for my family and enjoy it with a great craft beer on the deck overlooking the lake. Actually, that was yesterday.

Insight with Daryan Angle

Insights

Graduated from UW in 2001 and toiled a for a very short period for others before succumbing to his entrepreneurial bent by joining the IRIS team as a franchise partner in Waterloo.

Dr Angle rose to the corporate echelon of the IRIS Group and now serves as VP business development for the group.

Keep reading to find out how Dr. Angle envisions his perfect day and which business leader he most respects.

Dr. Daryan Angle

Optometrist

Optometry, University of Waterloo, 1996-2001

Physics, University of Alberta, 1994-1996

Why did you choose your field?

I always had a love and natural inclination for science and could never decide which area was more interesting physics, chemistry or biology. Optometry required all 3 subjects as prerequisites. I also wanted to work with people and own some kind of business. Optometry just fit. On top of all that, when I was a teenager it seemed that my childhood Optometrist was the most relaxed and happy adult ever.

Where do you see your practice / eye care in 10 years?

The confluence of digital commerce, and bricks and mortar will blend the online with the in-person (omnichannel). That seamless transition between these spaces back and forth will be a key part of my practice in 10 years. Artificial intelligence will also be present, facilitating disease management, and eyewear dispensing thus allowing for more quality human interaction with patients.

What changes do you see in eye care coming down the pipe?

Telemedicine will play an increasingly important role in servicing remote communities.

What is currently the most exciting thing in your field to help patients?

OCTs have been a game changer for early diagnosis and more precise understanding of retinal health.

What is something you plan on implementing in your practice this year?

Facial scanning technology for frame selection and bespoke custom frames.

What is something you have done in your practice to set you apart?

We have always provided a patient-centred, fully integrated eyecare and retail eyewear experience. The experience has been an evolution over 30 years and continues as technology can be leveraged to address a patient’s needs better and with high perceived value.

What business books would you recommend other ECPs read?

How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie

The Personal MBA by Josh Kaufman

Onward by Howard Schultz

Never Split the Difference: Negotiate as if your life depends on it by Chris Voss

The Laws of Human Nature by Robert Greene

21 Lessons for the 21^st Century by Yuval Noah Harrari

Ego is the Enemy by Ryan Holiday

What advice would you give a new grad today?

Know your values and find the best environment to practice that fits those values.

What is your definition of success or what habits make you a successful person?

When the work you do doesn’t feel like work and you can still provide for and spend quality time with your family. My success is based on the understanding that time is more valuable than money and decisions in life, must be made to leverage time in the most effective manner.

Which ECP speakers/leaders do you admire?

Dr. Francis Jean the late founder of IRIS was the ECP leader I admired throughout my formative years as an Optometrist and a leader. Now I would have to say I look at leaders outside of our industry. Howard Schulz, the founder of Starbucks is someone I deeply admire as he has built a great brand that is human and refined and continues to innovate and deliver high perceived value to its customers.

What is your favorite TV show / Netflix series?

Peaky Blinders on Netflix. It combines the best elements of a flawed protagonist, period setting ( early 20^th century), drama, action and a modern soundtrack that fits.

Last time you laughed?

Tickling my 2.5 year old son, Sullivan. There is nothing more joyous than a belly laugh of a toddler.

What was your latest indulgence?

Dark Chocolate Peanut butter cups from Trader Joe’s

What’s your Favorite food?

Trini food – Curried goat, and Doubles especially

My mom is from Trinidad so I grew up with that food.

Favorite past-time/hobby?

Listening to Audio books. Since I discovered Audible I became literate again, having read more books in the past 3 years than the previous 10. I love walking outdoors while listening, often on my way to the office and home.

What’s your favorite 80’s jam? (or decade you graduated high school in)

1980s

Dancing in the Dark – Bruce Springsteen. I recently watched the movie Blinded by the Light and was reminded of Springsteen’s genius.

Wake Me up Before you Go-Go – Wham! This song makes you want to get up and dance no matter what.

1990s (High school)

Loser – by Beck. The combination of genres and quirky lyrics just blew my mind at the time.

Cannonball – by The Breeders. I was a grunge kid for sure, a sucker for guitars with pop-py hooks.

What would you do if you won 10 million dollars? What would you do with your practice?

Spend more time with family and friends. I would continue to practice part time as there is no activity more satisfying than seeing patients.

What was the last gift you gave someone?

Gold earrings to my wife for Valentine’s day

How have you changed since high school?

I listen a lot more than I speak. Thanks to my wife Jill, I have become way more self-reflective and flexible in my thinking.

Tell me something few people know about you?

I used to perform Slam poetry in Vancouver in the early 2000s.

Describe your perfect day.

Wake up after 6.5 hours of uninterrupted sleep (between 6-6:30am). Do yoga and meditation for 20 minutes. Drink a cup of coffee from freshly roasted then ground espresso beans made in my aeropress. Make breakfast for my kids. Go weightlifting at the gym followed by a sauna and cold shower. Have breakfast as lunch with my wife at an all-day breakfast restaurant. Go for a long walk somewhere in nature. Play with my daughter and son outside. Go out for dinner with my wife followed by binge watching a tv program we both enjoy.

12 Tips for Stressed out Practice Owners

Human Resources, Managing Others

Being an independent practice owner is tremendously rewarding but also can be very stressful and requires a lot of hard work. Where many tend to struggle, however, is when it comes to working too much, putting their work before their health and not handling stress properly. The bad thing about stress is if you don’t take care of it, it will take care of itself usually in the form of sickness and even death. How can business owners better handle their stress?

Dr. Alok Trivedi is a human behavior and performance expert, author of the book ‘Chasing Success’ and founder of the Aligned Performance Institute.

Here are his 12 tips for entrepreneurs to better handle stress:

Stress will kill you: So many entrepreneurs put in 16 or more hours each and every day to build their dream, and they’re literally killing themselves. Stress is a real serious problem that leads to mental and physical health problems. If you don’t learn to slowdown and recognize stress, your body will ultimately do it for you.
Take breaks: Everyone, even the hardest working entrepreneurs out there, need to take breaks throughout the day. Your body can’t perform at it’s best if you are constantly tired, overworked and running on fumes. Even small 10 to 15-minute breaks throughout the day can do wonders for your mind and body. Remember, lunch isn’t always about eating, and it needs to be a mandatory rest period you take advantage of each and every day.
Don’t become a multitasker: Our society thrives on being able to do more with less. Unfortunately, this is one of the worst things anyone can do and will increase your stress faster than anything else. Instead, focus on completing one task at a time. Not only will the quality of your work improve, you’ll make fewer mistakes and get more accomplished in the long run.
Become a master delegator: So many entrepreneurs live by the phrase, “I have so much to do.” But guess what? You don’t have to do it all. If you find too much on your plate and your stress building, it’s time to delegate some of your work to other people on your team. Remember, entrepreneurship is a team effort, and we are in the age of collaboration.
Know that you are not invincible: I was talking with a very successful entrepreneur recently, and honestly, I was concerned about him. He thought he was invincible. Two weeks later he was in the hospital recovering from exhaustion, dehydration and high blood pressure. If you don’t take steps to reduce your stress, it will sneak up on you and take you down no matter how great a business you run.
Make time for fun: Whatever your definition of fun is, make time for it. It can be playing golf, hanging out with friends, spending time with family or whatever. Everyone, especially the hardest workers among us, need time to have fun. If you’re constantly working and not enjoying your life, what’s the point?
Play the 80/20 rule of energy: Give everything you do your maximum effort. Envision a meter that slowly builds as your energy depletes. Once the meter hits 80%, it’s time to let the mind and body recover. Remember, focusing on your health and well-being is one of the most important things you can do as an entrepreneur. We all need to take time to disconnect and recharge in order to perform at our best.
Change your breathing: One of the best ways to relieve stress is to breathe properly. Most people take very quick and shallow breaths through their chest. Instead, the proper way is to breathe through the diaphragm (belly area). Inhale to the count of seven, hold for seven seconds, and slowly exhale to the count of seven. Do this a few times in a row and you will feel your stress diminish.
Diet and exercise are as important as ever: It should be common knowledge by now the importance of diet and exercise, but so many people, especially entrepreneurs, get this one wrong. They say they are too busy to eat right and hit the gym while downing fast food and sitting in front of the computer all day. Diet and exercise need to be a priority in order to alleviate stress and be your best in business and life.
Let your work fulfill you: Anyone can start a business, but not everyone can find true fulfillment in their work. When you find fulfilment in what you do, the state of your mental health will be much better off, and your stress will be much less. Not only that, but that fulfillment will rub off on everything else you do, and your overall level of happiness will be at an all-time high.
Get more sleep: Your brain can’ t process high levels of information without the rest it needs. Without quality sleep, your body and your work will fall apart. Your ability to manage stress decreases drastically when you don’t sleep properly.
Be realistic: If you think a project you are working on is going to become the next Facebook, Uber or other big thing, it’s more than likely a fantasy most novice businessowners try to believe. That doesn’t mean not to aim big, but it’s wiser to play your own game and take the right strides to make your business efficient and grow methodically. Doing so will keep your stress in check.

10 Online Trends to Watch for 2020

Digital Marketing, Marketing, Resources

At the February 2020 Transitions Academy in Orlando FL, social media expert, Davitha Ghiassi, Executive VP Social & Integration served up “10 Trends Through a 2020 Lens” and offered advice to the eye care professionals and business professionals assembled.

Here are the top ten trends to watch for in 2020.

Short-lived rich media content is boomingBorn on SnapChat in 2011, limited view time content has been highjacked by all social platforms. Instagram Stories leads the way, with 64% indicating they became interested in a service or product after viewing it on Instagram Stories.
Vanity metrics will vanishLow level engagement metrics e.g. “Likes” and “viewers” will be replaced by more meaningful measures of content experience and conversion. Look for “Dwell Time” and other social experience metrics to matter more in the future.
Social platforms are growing a social conscience Voluntarily or, more likely by government edicts, social platforms will need to appease the societal ills they enable. Privacy protection, screen/life balance and cyber bullying and hate speech are among the areas that will be addressed through hiding likes, setting scrolling curfews, and banning political ads.
Social commerce comes of age
Social media has become a natural driver of brand awareness, discovery and conversion. Instagram is capturing teenagers eyes and B2B leads are dominated by LinkedIn.
Multilogue messaging overtakes mainstream SM
Brands leverage the ‘Social Learning’ feature in Groups to offer bespoke, branded educational content and courses to their community. Many to many group apps like Twitter Chats and Facebook Groups, spark more meaningful conversations versus eliciting engagement through comments on content.
Pay to play is here to stay
Digital media ad spending has now surpassed tradition media spending. In order to achieve relevant reach and real results, advertisers will have to open their wallets. Even if you are not spending money on ad space, your competitors most likely are.
Rethinking influencer marketing
90% of business decision-makers research opinions from peers and industry experts. While there is a strong belief that online Ambassadorships are effective, proving the ROI has been a challenge.
Artificial intelligence will rule the day
AI, machine learning and cognitive computing are not just evolving but advancing the way in which people and marketers curate, create and communicate. Cognitive computing will affirm accuracy, increase efficiency and enhance experiences.
The sands of search are shifting
While SEO has always providing constantly moving goalposts, the 2020 focus will be towards on-page content that is trustworthy, authoritative of high in quality. Quality over quantity is the message.
Distinction between consumers and businesses is blurred
The lines between B2B and B2C are blurring. The strict delineation of personal and business is fading away. Marketers are adapting approaches focused on specific individuals’ needs. Think P2P (People 2 People) instead of separate domains of “consumers” and “businesses”.

Episode 7: How IRIS Challenged Ontario OD Regs and Won

Eyes Wide Open, Podcasts

Dr. Daryan Angle shares the inside story behind IRIS’ struggle to modernize Ontario’s optometry regulations with host Dr. Glen Chiasson. Dr. Angle relives the 7-year battle with the College of Ontario Optometrists with a blow-by-blow account of how IRIS challenged the status quo and eventually overturned antiquated regulations.

About the Guest

Dr. Daryan Angle graduated from the University of Waterloo School of Optometry in 2001. He joined IRIS in 2002 as a practicing optometrist in British Columbia, and shortly thereafter becoming a franchise partner in 2 IRIS practices. In 2006 Dr. Angle relocated to Kitchener, Ontario and led a legal challenge to the regulations governing the business practices of optometry in Ontario which ultimately led to modernization, allowing for open collaboration, marketing and retailing of eyewear in optometric practices. He currently holds the title of Vice President Business Development and in that role, primarily focuses on buying, partnering and integrating optical stores and optometry practices into the IRIS network.

Episode Notes

Changing the Game

For nearly a 30-year period, Ontario optometrists were prevented from having an association with opticians, either as employers or as business partners, and were restricted in pricing and marketing activities by College regulations.

Dr. Angle recounts the inspiring impact of the IRIS model of combining professional eye care with competitive retail-optical dispensing in a meeting with IRIS founder, Dr. Francis Jean, who passed away suddenly in 2014.

Dr Angle and his IRIS colleagues began to tackle the myriad of restrictive regulations for Ontario ODs by taking the argument to the Ontario Registrar and the Executive Committee, only to be resoundingly rebuffed, and even targeted for their efforts.

IRIS then adopted a legal challenge on the basis of the the “right to associate” embedded in the Canadian Charter of Rights. They also brought the arguments to the Ministry of Health and the Health Professions Regulatory Advisory Council, which shared the perspective of leveraging various health care professions.

The Competition Bureau of Canada, which had a vested interest in ensuring there were multiple modes of practice in eye care to the benefit of consumers, were also an ally in the cause. These relationships, coupled with media interest, applied significant pressure on the College, which eventually capitulated on their long-standing positions.

Forces within Optometry began to join in the battle that IRIS initiated, and de facto changes to the regulations and enforcement began to take hold in 2008 and 2009 which lead ultimately to wholesale changes to the regulations in 2014.

Correction Note: The optical market in Canada is estimated @ $5 Billion CDN.

IRIS Franchise Partnership Model – Looking for Acquisition Opportunities

Dr Angle explains the IRIS franchise model is a partnership with either an optometrist or an optician or both. Each location leverages the IRIS brand name and power of a larger organization while providing the local practitioner the opportunity to practice in a sophisticated environment with advanced technology and pursue their professional passions.

The IRIS model provides younger doctors the opportunity to get into ownership without the stress and workload. For exit-ready older OD owners, the IRIS system guarantees that the practice will run smoothly and allows the owner to enjoy life when they go home. Many of the operational aspects such as HR, accounting and purchasing are taken away which helps the seller transition to a full exit.

IRIS is reaching out to acquire practices and/or optical stores and partner them. If you are somebody looking towards an exit, growing a career or taking your practice to the next level with a lot of support, IRIS may be an ideal partner.
