To Tell The Truth: Hiring… on Purpose

by | Dec 1, 2014 | Announcements, General, HR Compliance

Do You Remember the old game show “To Tell The Truth?”

This long-runTTTTning game show featured challengers who were introduced and all  claimed to be the central character. Celebrity panelists conducted a Q&A and then  had to choose who they thought was actually telling the truth and was the real  central character.

 When it comes to finding the next best team member for your practice, you too will  face multiple candidates who claim to be the ‘real thing.’

Let’s spend some time talking about how you can navigate these tricky waters and improve your chances for success. In this webinar, we’ll review laws, recommendations and follow actual candidates through the selection process.

Hiring may be more art than science… but there’s so much you can do to tip the odds of making a good hire in your favor. Please join me Tuesday, December 2, 2014 at 5:00 Pacific & 8:00 Eastern for an interactive webinar, Hiring… on Purpose!

You will learn:

  • To add rigor to your hiring process to improve the odds you hire right – the first time
  • How to separate the best interviewers from the best candidates – this is huge!
  • Gain confidence as an interviewer as we review actual questions & answers from real dental practice interviews
  • Protect your practice and yourself by understanding the legalities that exist in the hiring process
  • You’ll see if you can indeed “pick the winner.”

Swimming With the Fishes: Breakthrough Communication Success

by | Apr 16, 2014 | Announcements, Communication, General, Innovation, Practice Leadership, Team Development

Just back from speaking at the Excellence in Dentistry, Inc. meeting in Destin, Florida. The theme of this year’s meeting was “The Godfathers of Dentistry”  You may see in the photo that this was my second “Godfather” experience. This time I was dubbed “The Voice” and presented Breakthrough Communication Success, Six Surprisingly Simple, yet oh, so powerful steps to improve communication and bottom-line results with your team and patients:

#1 Ditch the Drama  #2 It’s a Simple Choice  #3 Challenge the Status Quo

#4 Set Clear Expectations  #5 Tap into Purpose  #6 Distinguish Yourself

What a thrill to be part of an awesome speaker lineup that included Dr. Gordon Christensen, Dr. David Phelps, Dr. Bruce Baird, Rachel Teel Wall & Wendy Briggs.

A stroll on the pier’s boardwalk at the end of the meeting ended with one of my heels falling 20 feet below into the bay, unretrievable. Nothing left to do but make a wish & toss the other one into the water. Considering the theme, I’m glad it’s just my shoes that are swimming with the fishes!
