Welcome to the 1 in 9 Dentists’ Coaches’ Corner and Blog.
This is my first post and my first time working with a blog. I’m both excited and a bit unsure about how to begin so here goes!
This blog addresses concerns and provides strategies for dental professionals who are creating positive change in their practices or who desire to create positive change in their practice. These changes could be from buying a new practice, joining a practice, changing billing procedures, adding new staff, developing your team, adding new services, reorganizing, getting ready to sell a practice, or any other source of change. The main focus for this blog is supporting those practices who are using the “1 in 9 Dentists Change Blaster Kit” to guide their change efforts.
I will also address the concerns of other dental professionals who are creating positive changes. Many of my recommendations will have reference to the tools and insights covered in the “1 in 9 Dentists Change Blaster Kit”. There will be other contributions I offer that support you as leader, and that guide appropriate and timely communication during change.
I also welcome posts by brokers, attorneys, financial services, coaches, and consultants who help dental professionals. This community is welcome to add how they assist the dental profession in creating lasting and positive changes in their practices and how they are contributing value. For the coaches and consultants who are facilitating implementing the “1 in 9 Dentists Change Blaster Kit” in their clients practices, feel free to share your experiences and positive results.
Since this is a coaching corner, I may ask you quite a few questions before I launch into suggestions or recommendations. This is the way of a coach and helps explore possibilities that support and guide you. The questions open the door for your discovery of the answer that already lives in you. It is also about expanding your thinking, developing new skills, brainstorming, and getting you to think expansively. As you pose a question, think about what you want the answer to do for you, or your staff/team, your patients, or your practice. That will help you clarify what you want to know.
If it is a specific question regarding the use of the product, one of the templates or forms, not covered in the FAQ’s, feel free to ask here.
The blog will begin with answering some of the unasked questions regarding using a system for change – how that could help what you want to make happen, what signs or symptoms in your practice might tell you that you will benefit from making some changes, who could benefit, and what you can expect. Categories will be posted to make it easy to find the answers you seek. I expect to post a minimum of three times a week and as comments and questions come in will increase that to make sure everything stays fresh and timely.
Many people resist change because they like their life the way it is; others love to change just for the sake of change, and then there are people who know if they could change just one thing it would make all the difference in their life and give them the life they want to lead and the practice they would love to talk about. Almost everyone can benefit from a sounding board, a process, and a place to talk about change. It is my intention that you will find a sounding board here and a place to talk about it. As for the process, there is a great one in the 1 in 9 Dentists Change Blaster Kit! For more information – http://www.1in9dentists.com
My first answer will be up tomorrow! Thank you and Welcome!
