The Aesthetic Edit Podcast – Why Most Annual Goals Drift by March and How to Build an Execution Roadmap That Sticks

In this episode, host Don Adeesha joins Kara McClanahan, VP of Operations for Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, to discuss why most aesthetic practice goals crumble by March. Kara introduces her “warts and all” operational audit, identifying the single most common blind spot owners ignore: staffing and performance management. She explains that this issue persists simply because it is uncomfortable to address, advocating for a “management by walkabout” approach where owners step out of the treatment room to truly understand the patient experience.
