  • Appreciation Leads to Generosity

    Bethany invites a beloved client to the studio today – Dr. Williamson! From the first moment Bethany spoke with Dr. Williamson, she knew he was one of the nicest people she has ever met. As she has grown to know him more over the last year, her attribution of his character has been correct. She knew he would be the perfect guest for an episode on generosity. Out of his attitude of respect, humility, and appreciation, he displays generosity in a way that is not showy or proud but rather sincere and heartfelt. Dr. Williamson shares his views on gratitude and generosity. He will certainly inspire you to fill your heart with appreciation and empty your hands in the name of generosity!

  • Do Elections Really Impact a Dental Practice?

     Is it true that dental practices can actually be impacted by an election? In this episode, Dr. Jones and Bethany discuss the very real evidence that elections can definitely impact dental practices. Bethany discusses that the bulk of her clients see a variety of changes between September – November during an election year. One of the more evident changes is the hesitation and even unwillingness of patients to move forward with treatment. In some cases, it is almost as if they did not hear the diagnosis. They seem utterly unphased by the need for treatment and equally unwilling to move forward with it. Together, Dr. Jones and Bethany tackle various ways to attack the changes in attempt to minimize the damage and move forward.

  • Dr. Jones Discusses Building the Practice You Envision

    Dr. Jones and Bethany break in the brand-new studio today! Together, they discuss how critical it is for a dentist/practice owner to have a vision for what they want to create in their practice, with their team, and with their patients. Using the analogy of all it took to create Bethany’s new house/studio, they draw parallels on how an undeveloped, misplaced, or miscommunicated vision can lead to a practice that fails to fulfill the desires of the practice owner and team. Dr. Jones shares his wisdom on seeking help when a vision is hard to formulate, and he discusses the importance of ensuring that the team is behind the mission and vision.

  • Mistrusting Employees

    Building trust on a team is a delicate and often difficult process. Once a team has a foundation of trust, the operation of the practice becomes much smoother and efficient. However, when trust is shaken or an employee on the team works to dismantle that trust, it takes swift and decisive action to right the ship. In this episode, Dr. Kuba shares a personal experience of a team member who openly shared her lack of trust in Dr. Kuba and the management team. She and Bethany discuss how they addressed the mistrusting employee and the action they took to prevent the mistrust from spreading to other team members.
