We've been in the field on client visits lately and have seen some pretty dramatic changes in quite a few operations teams. Is yours equipped to deliver what you're going to ask them to do in 2025? If not or if you're unsure, you might want to think through a few things that we'll share.

And if you're going to lead your own strategic planning session in the coming weeks, do you need an outside set of eyes to pressure test your assumptions? Tune in to find out...

I was recently asked to be part of a virtual study club of 3rd and 4th year dental students and got the common question of: "What advice would you give someone entering the workforce?" I was actually prepared for it, so I shared 5 key aspects to keep in mind. And if they're going to be asking for them, it's good for you to be thinking about the same 5 key aspects as you're on the recruiting trail!

And is 2025 the year you build a group practice? If so, join me in an abbreviated Catalyst Project course as I tackle the keys to avoiding failure in building a group. Details here: https://polarishealthcarepartners.com/emerging-group-practices/#catalyst-project

Many of you are making the transition from clinician to CEO, so you're constantly asking, "What does the CEO of a group practice actually do?" It's a great question in terms of time allocation and making an impact on your business. We created a session around this very topic for our Ascendant Executive program and asked our friend, Mick Janness (CEO of Oakpoint), to share his personal journey along with his guidance on how to become a more effective executive.

If you're looking to "level up" your business acumen to become a better leader of your own emerging group, then join us for Q4 of the program as we tackle the theme of "Business Development & Growth." Registration is open: https://polarishealthcarepartners.com/ascendant-executive/
