How to Win the Talent War
Dental assisting used to be an attractive and respected career. Today, experienced dental assistants are embarrassingly neglected, grossly underappreciated, brutally overworked, and they’re leaving the profession for greener pastures, with careers that offer enticing pay and toothsome benefits.
But, hope is not entirely lost.
In Joanne Miles’s article, “How to Win the Talent War,” recently published on DentistryToday.com, you will discover five critical areas of focus that will help you build a strategy to develop and retain dental assistants at the top of their game.
Customer Service Blues: Some Days Are Better Than Others!
A lot has recovered from the COVID pandemic. Travel has normalized, employers realize remote workers are happy working from home, and store shelves have filled back up. Concerts, theaters, schools and businesses are rebounding.
But the one thing that isn’t all the way back is customer service.
This article by PDA Team Development Coach Kelly Lynch, MAADOM, highlights the three main causes of customer service problems and then explains how dental teams can best handle unhappy patients.
Authentic Leadership
As a dentist and business owner, you are the leader of your practice by default. You might want to focus 100 percent of your time on patient care, but the reality is, working on the business is just as important as working in the business. Dentists who embrace an authentic leadership style are best positioned to inspire high performance with a team that is loyal, dedicated, and trustworthy.
Join Productive Dentist Academy’s Co-founder & CEO Dr. Victoria Peterson, Chief Communications Officer Regan Robertson, and Dentist Advisors CFP Matt Mulcock for a deep dive into authentic leadership. With more than 50 years of combined leadership experience, they tackle the leadership questions that can keep you up at night. This webinar will help you:
- Understand how to keep your composure when times are tough
- Maintain your true North as you grow and scale a company
- Retain top employees
- Be authentic to yourself as you navigate the struggles of business and life
- Respond to changes in the industry
Uncommon Knowledge: Outsmarting Recession Behaviors for a Thriving Dental Practice
Many incredible companies are created during recessions while others fail. Will you follow the herd toward possible doom, or will you make savvy decisions because you’re prepared for what’s coming?
An economic recession is imminent and likely has already begun. Is your business ready? How will you behave differently in your business? How would a DSO behave differently than most private practices?
Join this free webinar with PDA’s Dr. David Porritt and ProFi 20/20s Chris Sands to learn the business & financial behaviors that you must change in order to thrive through a recession, rather than just hoping to survive. In this webinar, you will learn:
- What recession history, signals, and behaviors to pay attention to
- What metrics to monitor and change in both business & finances
- Real, applicable advice that every practice owner can implement
Mommy Dentists in Business: Women, Wealth & Power
For the most part, women relate to wealth and money in significantly different ways than men. This encompasses the embodiment of wealth in all aspects of life: physical health, mental clarity, emotional sovereignty, and financial abundance.
In this webinar, PDA Co-founder & CEO Dr. Victoria Peterson will share her roadmap for balancing your relationship with power and money to achieve wealth on your terms. In this webinar, you will:
- Clearly define wealth on your terms
- Understand the right use of power
- Identify power and money leaks
- Understand the links between emotional intelligence & wealth
$40 for non-MDIB members.
