Find meaning in tragedy: When faced with personal loss or tragedy, it is essential to find meaning in the experience and use it as a source of inspiration to move forward.
Foster a patient-centered approach: Prioritize the patient experience and create a welcoming environment in your dental practice. Consider the look, feel, and atmosphere of your office to make patients feel comfortable and cared for.
Embrace innovation: Constantly seek innovative ways to improve your dental practice. This doesn’t necessarily mean investing in expensive equipment but rather focusing on enhancing the patient experience and providing exceptional care.
Build a fantastic team: Surround yourself with a capable and supportive team in your dental practice. Invest in training and development to ensure your team members are equipped to provide excellent service to patients.
Take accountability and let go of blame: When dealing with difficult circumstances, such as the loss of a loved one, it’s important to hold oneself accountable and avoid placing blame on oneself or others.
