In this episode, Dr. Mark Dill and Toria break down exactly what makes continuing education actually stick — and it's not the course, the location, or even the money. We're answering a question straight from you guys: how do you get your team to actually want to do continuing education, instead of treating it like an obligation? In this episode we cover: - The one mistake that makes staff dread CE instead of look forward to it - Why a fully-paid trip can still leave your team feeling let down - Real stories from our own CE trips and the ones that went sideways (including the cold hot dog microwave story we'll never forget) - What to actually cover — pay, hotel, food, transportation — and why the details matter more than you'd think - The conversation that gets real buy-in, instead of a forced yes - Why letting your team implement what they learned isn't optional - How to know when you've found the right person to invest in If you've ever paid for CE and still watched your team lose enthusiasm for it, this one's for you. Got a question you want us to answer on a future episode? Drop it in the comments — we read every one. 🌐 dentalguidingpoint.com 📧 dentalguidingpoint.com/contact If you're enjoying the show, leave us a review wherever you're listening.
