Get Off the Dental Treadmill Podcast: Great Dentistry by Dentists Who Lead

Expand your office hours and provide real-time help to your patients with a professional and HIPAA trained customer service team.

It's no wonder for years survey companies like Gallup consistently report that only 30% of team members feel engaged and are participating in the workplace.  70% are disengaged, disconnected, merely going through the motions and phoning it in.  They're fully codependent. They are physically present but mentally absent. And they've learned to be that way from managers lording over them not trusting that people smart & motivated.

Are you communicating effectively when it comes to time management, scheduling and collections?

It's never too early to begin finding a mentor and looking for that person or people in your life that are going to be able to help you reach your goals.   So I think this is really important and what you're talking about because we have this saying everybody needs a place to go where they can say three magic words. I don't know.

How do we begin networking when we were freshmen in dental school? And if you've been out for 20 years, why should I start networking now?

How to get your team to participate and share in building a great practice, culture where people are self-managed...everyone is a leader.

Outside Eyes, Soft Skills, and Knowing Your Limits.

These are 3 keys to success that we will explore today. Understanding that as the business owner, you need to be able to nurture talent, create and environment of trust, and follow through on your vision, is just about as important as all of the process that you have in place. People have an annoying habit of being human, but we are here to help you navigate the water of business ownership with ease.

There's no question that dentistry is all about establishing long term relationships. People buy from people they know, they like and they trust.  Let's provide our patients with a mountaintop experience from beginning to end. And that requires the engagement of every member of your team.

Everyone knows that having a "Big Why" is incredibly important, but how does that translate into your business? As Duane says, "Your Big Why gives you a sense of fulfillment from what you're doing".

Duane Tinker is a nationally renowned consultant who helps dentists establish and maintain their compliance and risk management programs. Duane has inspected hundreds of dental offices and thousands of dental records.

Dr. Gordon Christensen shares: What does true leadership in a practice look like?  When we go to dental school, we're not taught how to run a business. We're not taught how to delegate.  We are taught that everything revolves around us and how important we are to the practice. So we get the wrong idea of how to run a practice and feel that we have to make all of the decisions ourselves.  Why are dentists so bad at delegating?

Yes you are a Dentist, you came up through school, it's what you know, and what you love. However, now you own your practice, or maybe multiple practices and that makes you a business owner. While we all love our craft, we need to take some time and think like a business owner, just enough to make your life easier and better.
