Overview

Dr. Huntley, an accomplished leader with over 25 years of experience in healthcare and public health, shares practical strategies for automating your business, without sacrificing the essential human touch. This episode dives deep into how intentional automation can help visionary professionals reclaim their time, streamline operations, and scale their businesses, while still providing the personal client connection that drives real impact.

Tailored to established public health entrepreneurs and interdisciplinary leaders, Dr. Huntley discusses which business processes make the best candidates for automation and identifies the critical human moments that should never be replaced by software. This actionable, insightful conversation empowers you to start automating high-friction tasks so your mission and impact can grow.

Takeaways

Automate Repetitive, Invisible Work: Focus automation on behind-the-scenes tasks that don’t require your expertise, such as lead responses, onboarding emails, and appointment scheduling.
Enhance (Don’t Replace) Human Connection: Use automation to free up your time for high-impact, relationship-building activities, not to remove yourself from meaningful client interactions.
Strategize Your Automation Choices: Avoid automating tasks related to custom strategy, discovery calls, or crisis management. These require your unique expertise and intuition.
Start Small and Build: Identify one repetitive task you do several times a week. If it doesn’t need your creativity or judgment, find an automation solution.
Leverage Automation Before Scaling Your Team: Optimize your workflows with automation to ensure team members focus on work that truly leverages their skills.
Amplify Client Experience: Clients appreciate prompt, clear communication from automations, but high-value moments must always remain human.
Streamline Onboarding and Scheduling: Automated systems for client intake and calendar management help reduce admin work and improve the client journey.
Measure Success by Impact, Not Automation Level: The best businesses aren’t those that automate the most, they’re those that make the greatest impact.
