This is part two of my three-part series called “The Three Dysfunctions of a Dental Practice.” Before continuing with this episode, I encourage you to listen to part one, where I share why dentists are constantly looking for external solutions to their internal problems and how to fix this. Today I will be discussing the false belief many dentists have that their number one job is being a good clinician when it is actually being a good leader.
Listen in as I explain three activators that drive mastery within your practice: goodwill, case acceptance, and team building. You will learn the importance of building trust and rapport with your clients, how to create a “surprise and delight” aspect of your service, and how to ensure you have the right members on your team. If you are looking to grow your business and create long-lasting clients, this is the episode for you.

As we continue through this pandemic, it is hard to find stable information that is not backed by an agenda. Unfortunately, this has truly exposed the leadership vacuum we have. So in this episode, I want to make sure we are headed in the right direction long-term—and that we are not just reacting to the onslaught of demand that came through after it was legalized to go back to work.
Listen in as I share what I believe the future may hold for dentistry, as well as the actions we need to take to ensure our team, patients, and practices remain sound regardless of the restrictions that are imposed. Now is the time to develop systems that boost your reputation and promote trust in the community because if fear is the real pandemic, then trust is the only antidote.
