“Positive Change Management* Summit Workshop for the Dental Team with a budget to increase production and morale.”

Positive Change Management* – refers to Appreciative Inquiry*

What others are saying…
“As dentists we spend most of our lives trying to get CE to get better at our clinical skills. Yet, successful (if you define success in this instance as high production, and subsequent high net) dentists usually are ones who have acquired a good foundation of clinical skills but are superstars when it comes to leadership skills, positive self image, and most importantly communication and people skills.” Featured in Dental Town, September 2007

85/15 RULE
“…experts estimate that 15 percent of your financial success comes from your skills and knowledge; the other 85 percent results from your ability to connect with people and engender trust and respect.” –Guth and Deems, Patient Retention; Featured in AGD Impact, October 2007

An Interactive Workshop for the whole dental team, to create a new vision, to reinvent themselves into something extraordinaire.

How:
Through 1-day Summit Workshop Seminars, which can be followed by online education and implementation strategies, and over-the-phone through “coaching” (individually focused and with ongoing support) vs. the typical one-shot solutions you, typically, have already tried.

·Are you Ready for positive change?
·Are you tired of the same old discussions of what’s not working, how hard it is to overcome, and who’s to blame?
·Do you have hopes and dreams for your work?
·Would you like to see engagement, commitment and enthusiasm rise with revenues and profits?
·Are you searching for a process to open up communication, unleash human potential, and create a truly learning environment?

Appreciative Inquiry* is an introduction to today’s hottest new change management approach coming out of Case Western Reserve University’s School of Management for the corporate world. It is a process for large-scale change that can enable you to inspire your staff; to involve your patients; to discover and extend your clinical strengths and strategic advantages; and to balance outstanding financial returns with heightened clinical service and social contributions to the public good.
“Appreciative Inquiry can get you much better results than seeking out and solving problems” – Tom White, CEO of GTE
“Change requires action, action requires a plan. A plan requires strategy, a strategy requires goals and enabling objectives. Goals and objectives require a mission. A mission is defined by a vision. A vision is set by values. And the AI approach starts by focusing on the strengths of the organization and the stake holders values.”
