People judge you by what you do--and by what you say. Here are nine phrases that should roll off your lips every single day.

Whether at work or at home; drama needs to be left at the door.  Fundamentally, drama is just simply bad.  It is pervasive.  Such a common denominator for the stress, lack of performance, and overall tone set within the Dental Practice or any workplace.  

Often times we see a trend of coworkers or others that find entertainment in watching or contributing to the struggles of those individuals. Therefore, the focus must be on setting expectations to reduce or eliminate the workplace drama.  

How are You Contributing Within Dentistry and Your Community?

There are many forms of Contributions deemed in Society and dentistry.  Let's focus on daily Contributions that occur throughout the year; every day.  It is important to make the distinction between achievements and contributions.  An Achievement is defined as something accomplished successfully, especially by means of exertion, skill, practice, or perseverance.  Therefore, achievements can easily become a task that is simply checked off our "to do" list once accomplished.  On the other hand, a Contribution is defined as something contributed such as money or an idea.  It can also include your time.  The correlation between the two is quite simple; our contribution is the entire Picture seen through those snapshots of multiple achievements.  They are imperative in reminding ourselves that "we can make a Difference."
