Melinda Heryford, Inc Practice Management Consulting

04/27/2026

Everyone loves talking about “more production”…
more patients…
more growth…

But no one’s talking about what’s actually breaking your practice.

This week on Hygiene Happy Hour 🎙️
Melinda Heryford drops the truth most owners avoid:

It’s not your marketing.
It’s not your fees.
It’s your team… and how you’re leading them.

We’re getting into:
→ Why treatment plans stall (even when patients say yes)
→ What high-performing teams do differently (hint: it’s not more meetings)
→ And the internal shifts that change everything

If your practice looks “successful” on paper…
but still feels heavy behind the scenes—

You’ll want this one.

“You can’t change your destination overnight, but you can change your direction today.” – Jim Rohn

I love this reminder. Because real change doesn’t start with a massive overhaul—it starts with one decision to turn.

Nov 7 is that turning point.
One day to get out of the whirlwind, set your vision, define your WIG, and align your team around what actually matters.

It’s not about doing more.
It’s about leading with clarity.

If you’re ready to change that, join our remote event on 11/7, 8am -12 pm pst.

🎯 The first three to respond will come to the CEO Strategic Session complimentary.

It’s not too late to change your 2026 story.

The Whisper After All the Training

You’ve done the work — Spear, Kois, Dawson. You’ve mastered your craft.

But late at night, there’s that whisper:
“Why does it still feel unclear where this is going?”

It’s not that you need more CE — you need direction.
The kind that turns skill into legacy and brings your team into rhythm with your vision.

If you’re ready to change that, join our remote event on 11/7, 8am -12 pm pst. 🎯 The first three to respond will come to the CEO Strategic Session complimentary.
