Hi, I’m Sarah Almond Bushell, and welcome to Beyond the Clinic! Today, I’m joined by Nevine El Sherbini, an online business manager (OBM) and dietitian. We’re exploring how OBMs can help dietitians and nutrition professionals streamline their businesses and when it’s time to hire one.

Episode Summary

In this episode, Nevine El Sherbini shares her journey from dietitian to OBM. Nevine explains the role of an OBM, how they differ from VAs or business coaches, and why a business might need one. She also discusses her career pivot and solo travels that led to her current path. This episode provides actionable advice for dietitians looking to manage their businesses more efficiently.
