Time Management Session
As a dental office manager, time is usually in short supply as we are responsible for so much of the business and oversee every area of the practice. Improving time management skills requires a strategic approach to reviewing where your time is being spent and then determining what can be revised to alleviate as much of your attention and dedication as possible. In this video, Laura discusses ten things you can do to improve your time management skills and allow for more of your efforts to be focused on the items truly deserving of your attention.

Managing Drama Session
Office drama is a reality for all too many of us – and truly a toxic to the spirit of community we are working so hard to bring to our practices. In order to eliminate drama, we must first identify the source of the issue and take a holistic view of the office to accurately determine any and all contributing factors. In this video, Laura provides an overview of how detrimental gossip can be to an office, and suggests several components of practice leadership, culture and operations to review.

Team Building Session
The goal of team building is to create a cohesive environment where every member feels valued, respected and cared for by their coworkers which therefore allows them to contribute to a high-performance team. However, accomplishing this ideal work environment is not an easy task and there are some key components to know if you want to implement successful team building. In this video, Laura explains the purpose of the team building process and details the necessary aspects of a successful team building journey.

This session is limited to members of the AADOM Dental Spouse Business Network

Born between 1980 and 1994, this generation has gotten quite the bad reputation over the years, especially when it comes to the workplace. Entitlement, job-hopping, unreliable; these are just a few of the typical stereotypes that are common with today’s millennials. Is this reputation true, or are these millennials just simply misunderstood. This generation is changing the world, and what our traditional workplace is becoming. These employees have the tendency to become your hardest working, most loyal and dedicated employees, if they are managed in the right way that highlights their strengths and potential.

In this session we’ll discuss the differences between this generation and the previous generations when it comes to their career views and professional growth. You will learn some coaching and managing tips to ensure that their recognition and feedback is given in a way that adds fuel to the fire, instead of extinguishing it, and keeps them motivated and producing their best work.

Objectives:

Learn how to discover the millennial’s strengths, and how to set them up for success
Discover how to provide the much needed feedback that millennials want, in the way that will keep them engaged
Find out what motivates them, and how to keep them from jumping from job to job, turning them into your best employees
