Reset & Rebuild OT Initiative

The Reset & Rebuild OT Initiative is a structured, self-guided transformation program designed to help occupational therapy students and practitioners build clinical confidence, strengthen identity, and reconnect with purpose. Through four strategic phases, you’ll move from overwhelmed learner to empowered clinician—ready to lead with clarity, connection, and skill.

  • Phase 1: Groundwork — Revisit and reinforce the foundational principles of occupational therapy often missed or rushed through in school.

  • Phase 2: Connection — Develop a sense of belonging and professional community to support your growth and reduce isolation.

  • Phase 3: Communication — Build assertiveness, clarity, and professionalism in your documentation, collaboration, and patient interactions.

  • Phase 4: Clinical Identity & Professional Brand — Gain clarity on your strengths, build a professional reputation, and take action steps like creating a standout CV and LinkedIn presence.

This initiative helps you build a career with direction and confidence—not just survive the job. 

**Unpaid members will have access to the Reset and Rebuild Initiative for 120 days after enrollment; not all course content will be accessible, paying members will have access for the entirety of their subscription plus all other included content.
