Scheduling for Success in Your Dental Office

Last week we spoke about how to structure your daily schedule for the most success. As we have mentioned many times, you have to start with the end in mind. What do you want the practice to look like? What would your dream schedule look like?

Best Practices in Dental Office Scheduling

When looking at the best practices for how to arrange your schedule in a dental office, I want to start with an exercise that Stephen Covey did years ago. He filled a jar with rocks and then asked if the jar was full - some naturally said "yes". Then he added small pebbles to the jar and they fell down in the cracks and filled some additional space. He then asked if the jar was full - some said "yes". He then added sand, which fell down in the cracks and filled the empty spaces and then asked yet again if it is full. Some again said "yes". He then added water to the jar, which of course filled the extra spaces, to which he now agreed "now it's full".

If, on the other hand, you were to fill the jar with sand first and then ask the audience if it was full of course all would say "yes". With this scenario in mind, he then posed the question of, "now could you add any rocks to this jar?" The obvious answer was "no". You have no left over space to put anything into the jar.

Why women break up with brands

Anyone who has followed me for a while understands that I believe WOMEN make the majority of decisions as it relates to dentistry. This article certainly supports it. This is a great read if you are interested in connecting to women more within your dental practice.

For anyone wondering, I do not claim to fully understand women:) I only claim to try to and appreciate them.

Becoming a CEO. Part One.

I found this article to be quite interesting and has certainly applied to my life at various times. It is a great article about Leadership and shouldn't be a stretch to extrapolate to anyone who wants to become a leader within a dental office. Bottom line, keep learning, keep growing and you will keep succeeding!! If you get knocked down, and you will, don't stay down long. Get back up.

As profound as the saying may be: “The more I know the less I understand,” the opposite sentiment could be applied to the often gung ho and know-it-all attitudes of the young. In my own youth I was no exception. It was 1989 - fresh out of university, back to my country after studying in the UK, and full of world-dominating expectations – mostly unrealistic as I would soon find out.

I was stone broke, having worked two jobs to fund my first degree. I was interviewed by the four largest state-owned companies of the time. I felt that as a citizen of my country I had the God-given right to be employed added to that in my own mind I knew everything. There was nothing that anyone could teach me.
