So, what really resonated with you in this Marketing Strategies for Dentists: Post-COVID course?
"The most important concept was turning a plan into something actionable. In order to market dental offices effectively post COVID-19, not only did offices need to follow all safety protocols, but they needed to ensure the patients knew this. By engaging with patients through website postings, social media, office updates, new websites, etc, they could detail to the public exactly what they are doing to keep safe. Pictures of a clean safe environment helped. These focused marketing plans and strategies helped to target and identify the patients that were likely to want dental appointments and keep up with them during the pandemic. Attracting new patients also can help offices. The example that some retired people are in the most social stage and care highly about their looks was used in this course. They have insurance and make a good patient because dental appointments get them out and they like stay on top of their appointments in related to health and looking and feeling good." - Samantha M., FL
We're thrilled you found this beneficial! Thanks for the great feedback!

While it's great to love what you do, we simply can't live to work. That's not sustainable. Stress kills, and the body keeps the score. So, on this beautiful Wednesday, get outside, get some balance, take a break, enjoy the sunset, and connect with your peeps. And remember, as my sons tell me...'nobody's tombstone says Best Employee Ever'....and 'you can't buy back health (look at Steve Jobs)'. Health is the new wealth so be good to yourself, please.
And if you need to talk, I'm literally only one text away.
Happy Hump Day, Y'all 🙂

So, what's the most important concept you learned in this Practice Financials module?
"The most important concept I learned in this module was about embezzlement. I knew that it happens however never knew how prevalent it can be. There are many precautions that need to be put in place to handle this issue. " - Dr. W, Texas
Heck yea, Dr. W. Protecting the practice's assets is every dentists' job! It's never about how much you make, but how much you keep.

So, what was the most important concept learned in this Insurance & Practice Overhead module? Do tell....?!

Is it Manic Monday or Mindful Monday?? Well, this article sure sheds light on boosting brain power through super brain foods. And who doesn't want to shake the cobwebs off and think clearer at the beginning of the week...?

This is what cutting out sugar and dairy and eating lots of fish and blueberries did to my productivity.

"My personal mantra is “If you were strong enough to get this far, you are strong enough to keep going”. I believe this reflects on the struggles and self-doubt that I have had to overcome and to keep my vision on the horizon. It is easy and convenient to get caught up in today’s struggles but it is important to take a step back and give oneself the due credit for accomplishing goals that once seemed unachievable. With steady progress and effort each day, goals of great significance can be accomplished."- Dr. DL, Fort Lauderdale FL
These are the humbling statements that reinforce how powerful it is to provide quality education to our dentists that impact their lives so deeply. Thanks so much, Dr. DL. It is our honor and pleasure.

Just providing a PSA as the EEOC weighs in on mandating vaccines by employers for employees. For anyone interested~Happy reading!

Employers can offer incentives to workers to become immunized, but they may not be coercive. Experts aren't sure what that means.

What's the Most Important Concept that learned in our Staffing Module?
"Hire slowly, fire quickly….I do the first one in hopes I don’t have to do the second one! Also I appreciated the resource for salary by zip code. What to pay someone was always just a guess based on asking other dentists or friends that worked in that position; now there is some evidence-based criteria to work from." - Thanks for sharing, Dr. S. We couldn't agree more. Having evidence-based resources to make decisions from is priceless for recruiting and retaining the best team with the most current market salaries!

"To be an effective and capable leader just reading and knowledge will not help me. I have to put it to practice everyday to make it a habit. I haven’t worked in an environment where there is real leadership and all along I have been implementing what I have known and I can see how I failed to build a team. This program is helping me start fresh both in my personal and professional lives. I have to work on changing the tone of my voice and not talk to my staff in a demeaning way when I am upset regarding certain issues." -Dr. S, FL
You're not kidding, Dr. S, and thanks for sharing!
Leadership without great communication just doesn't result in good outcomes. If you can relate, we can help.
