The Corporate SLP 101: Introduction to corporate speech-language pathology
With Adrienne L. Singletary, The Corporate SLP
When: 4-week course starting Spring 2025
Where: Zoom (I'll provide the link).
Who: This course is specifically for aspiring SLPs and current SLPs who desire to learn more about corporate speech-language pathology and to one day become a corporate speech-language pathologist. You MUST be ready to change your current mindset about the areas in which speech pathologists currently work in (ie. school based settings, medical settings, and skilled nursing facilities).
Why: Because your deserve to gain and apply knowledge outside of your academic coursework and workplace.
Registration is limited!
This course is designed to serve as an overview regarding foundational information about speech pathology in the corporate arena. Participants will discover that each weekly discussion gives specific insight on what corporate speech pathology is, where speech pathologists can work, and how our skillset is a requirement within companies and organizations. *This isn't a business course, so if you're wanting to learn how to do ALL aspects of a corporate speech pathology business check out my other course, The SLP Dropout Recipe.
Information which I learned early in my career will be shared so you can decide if and when you are ready to become a corporate speech pathologist. You will then have ALL the details.
Let's be honest, your professors cannot provide you with the information I've learned over the years as a successful corporate speech pathologist. Their knowledge is more than likely from a school based setting or a medical setting. Wouldn't you like to know more about how your degree in speech pathology and communication sciences and disorders translates into corporate America? It's essential to recognize that your professors might not have equipped you with this transformative information, not out of negligence, but because they too might be thinking within the traditional confines of the field. The corporate speech therapy landscape demands a mindset shift, challenging the conventional belief that you must confine yourself to school or medical settings.
This class is for you if...
- You're unsure of where you want to work after your CFY.
- You feel stuck in your career as a speech pathologist and you're seeking something new so you can continue to use your degree and training.
- You know you deserve to gain as much knowledge as possible about ALL that speech pathology has to offer.
You deserve to know ALL about speech pathology. Not just the school setting and medical setting.
HERE'S HOW THIS COURSE WILL HELP
Knowledge
Use your skillset in speech pathology to assist others besides children and those within the medical setting.
Love
Love all the possibilities within speech pathology and the corporate arena.
Your dream is within your plan
It's your dream to work in speech pathology, why not work where you're truly valued and desired.
Here's what previous cohort members have said...
"The most beneficial part of the couse was outlining the different areas that can be covered, how to schedule sessions, how much to charge, and how to use that information to plan out your financial expectations/needs."
"My initial questions about corporate speech therapy have fianlly been answered. It's no longer a mystery to me."
"Each module was very beneficial in helping understand what Corporate SLP is and how I can make this career shift work for me."
"After this course I can't wait to take the SLP Dropout course. I want to make corporate speech therapy my full-time job. I need to learn the business part now."
"Adrienne gave me the information I wish my professors would have given me 12 years ago. This is where I want to grow as a speech pathologist."
"I loved this course. It was just the right pace."
Not sure you can do this? I've got a story for you...
I remember when I felt lost in my career as a school-based speech-language pathologist. I had a large caseload and the principal at the school I was working in didn't value my skillset. I was tired of the paperwork, tired of constantly convincing teachers that students needed me, and the weekly changes to my schedule was overwhelming. I was also working car duty every morning and afternoon at the school, and I hated it with a passion! Honestly, what SLP do you know wants to open car doors for kids each morning and be in a loud school gymnasium for after school pick-up? Even trying to advocate for time in the morning and afternoon to complete medicaid billing instead of car duties was denied! Imagine wanting to get caught up on paperwork instead of car duty.
In reaching out to fellow speech-language pathologists that worked in hospitals, academia, and skilled nursing facilities I didn't hear anything encouraging. They too were overwhelmed with productivity and directors that were concerned with insurance and meeting deadlines that were unattainable.
I wanted that same feeling of nostalgia that I once had in graduate school and right after graduate school graduation. Where was the Adrienne that loved to tell people that she was a speech pathologist? She was burned the hell out!
In January 2012 I told my then boyfriend, now husband that I couldn't continue working as a speech pathologist. His response was, "You used to love talking about speech pathology in graduate school, maybe you need a new job in a different setting." I told him it wasn't better anywhere else and his response was simple and profound, "Who says you have to work in a traditional setting. Think outside the box and think where you'd like to work and gear it to your field. What do you have to lose?"
I researched corporate America because I always wanted to dress in suits and wear heels and there was nothing geared to speech pathology where I could do that. However, I remembered Dr. Robert Screen (a former professor from Hampton University) discussing corporate speech pathology. He never gave specific details but when I googled corporate speech pathology there wasn't a lot of information.
So now that I've learned and worked as a successful corporate speech pathologist, I want to educate fellow SLPs and aspiring SLPs to know more about this lucrative area within the speech pathology field.
