On Wednesday, Dr. Bradley Rauch spoke at the President’s assembly. He is a very successful chiropractor who has helped start chiropractic clinics in 29 states and 4 countries. He is also very passionate about chiropractic missions. He has worked in countries like Haiti, Dominican Republic, Russia, Croatia, and Italy. Throughout his life experiences he has seen chiropractic care help so many people. Dr. Rauch stated, “We have opportunity to change people’s lives.” This can be done by “reconnect[ing] people with innate intelligence.” He believes that if you “tell the story with love in your heart… it just works.”
That was the major message of the assembly. It doesn’t matter who or where, only love in your heart and an understanding of the power of the adjustment.
Dr. Rauch also gave some advice on starting a practice. He stated that students need to choose a community to love and start a practice there. He told a story of another chiropractic college having a board in their office of alumni affairs of the “no go” zones because the area is too densely populated with chiropractors. He said that was nonsense. He believed that if you go into the community and differentiate yourself by telling the story you can get started and serve a crazy amount of people.
Dr. Rauch also emphasized the need to do “the work” as student so we don’t lose our fire for chiropractic. The work for him was: mission trips, Dynamic Essentials, New Beginnings, technique seminars, mentorship programs, personal development, and podcasts.
All in all, Dr. Rauch was captivating to listen to and really fired me up about going out into the field (despite it being a more than 2 years away). I hope President Cordero can continue to bring in great speakers to empower Sherman students to have a clear understanding of how to succeed.
