The Doctor as CEO: Plan Your Way to Success and Profitability

Course Description: To practice dentistry, one must have a dental license to ensure the well-being of the patient; however, most dentists do not get a business degree to ensure the well-being of their practice.

In this program, a fresh approach will be taken which is likely to change your perspective on business plans, cash flow management, budgets, and goals. Learn proven strategies that result in higher profitability and peace of mind! Come and learn:

• How your overhead "stacks up" against industry standards.
• How to diagnose practice "potential" so that your goals make sense.
• That a new way of looking at your numbers can set you free!

Are you ready to see your practice in a new light? This is an opportunity to improve practice profitability!

The Dentist as Business Person: The Top 5 Hassles and How to Beat Them Once and For All!

Course Description: Most dentists are 100% comfortable at chairside, but they lose sleep over what to do about their numbers, how to motivate their team to peak performance, diffuse staff conflicts, hold employees accountable, and other non-clinical "hassles", because they lack the confidence and know-how to handle these situations. It’s understandable. Did you learn these skills in dental school?  Areas of focus:

• Knowing your numbers, and using them to realize the full potential of the practice.
• Hiring the best staff – how to find the right people and bring out their best.
• Doing performance appraisals – how a few minutes of feedback will result in a more productive employee.
• Giving salary reviews – using as an occasion to motivate and get staff excited about their future with your practice.
• Taking the drama out of tough team situations – and coming out a hero!

Learn how to turn the Top 5 Hassles into opportunities to improve and grow your business – and get better sleep immediately!
