Course Description:

We live in a cynical time that rewards quick fixes, fast food, ATMs and instant everything. We are often tempted to veer from our preferred paths and make choices carelessly almost unconsciously. We have been seduced by the siren song of our consumerist, results-driven society. Successful Team Development takes time and the appropriate clinical, behavioral, and business skill sets.

We'll explore Clinical skills that are common to the best dentists (a comprehensive co-discovery examination experiences, adherence to occlusal principles, interdisciplinary planning, exquisite provisionals and more). Behaviorally, we'll talk about creating a vision for your preferred future, hiring right, strength theories, communicating effectively, employee and customer engagement and philosophy (yours, of course). From a Financial perspective we will consider the concepts of personal and professional financial freedom and independence, operating income, management income statements, fees and the role of insurance and entitlements. And finally, we'll look at Time and how its constant movement past us makes life a journey and not a destination. The choices we have made, make now and will make in the future are the sum total of who we are and what we will become. Life and success in life then, involves making good choices throughout time.
