Dear Dental Professional,
With this newsletter, I look forward to a wonderful opportunity to get to know you better, and to address issues about leadership, emotional intelligence and team building that I know can help you and your staff achieve peak performance.
In our first issue we talk about 'Resonant Leadership', and also give details of two upcoming leadership oriented workshops I will be hosting this summer and early autumn. I can guarantee a rewarding and fulfilling experience for you and your team, so please consider signing up today. Class size will be limited.
Also in this issue, and those to come, we'll have financial expert Mark Zaifman talking about money, especialy as it relates to dentists and their practices. And who couldn't use all the help they can get on that particular topic!
So welcome to Professional Best, and happy reading! With best wishes until next time,
Mary O'Neill, MA, MFT

| Doctor: Are You A 'Resonant' Leader? |
|
|
Leadership is everyone's business. That's a philosophy I believe in and have taught to hundreds of work teams throughout my career. Leadership issues will feature prominently in this newsletter, beginning here with excerpts from an excellent book by Richard Boyatzis and Annie McKee, Resonant Leadership: Renewing Yourself and Connecting with Others Through Mindfulness, Hope and Compassion.
Leaders have responsibility, influence and, it turns out, their own brand of management maladies: power stress and the sacrifice syndrome. Unaddressed, these afflictions can cause psychological and career damage.
Resonant Leadership has valuable advice for anyone in the workplace, whether or not they are a leader.

Conflict Resolution: Why Dental Offices
Are Unique
|
|
|
|
Dear Doctor or Dental Professional,
As a professional therapist and speaker, I frequently lecture on the topic of Conflict Resolution. I know it is an issue for you and your staff because conflict is inevitable in life. What matters is not that it is present, but how you choose to approach and resolve it.
It is also important for you to understand what is unique about conflict in the dental office. For more information, please click here, or on the link below to read an article I recently published on this topic.
I also recommend you purchase my 2-hour audio CD: "Conflict Resolution - Transform Stress and Conflict into Growth and Change".
Listen to this inspirational, content-rich, upbeat audio CD and you will learn problem-solving skills to empower you to move with confidence and integrity through all kinds of interpersonal conflict—one of the biggest barriers to achieving your goals.
Hear how to manage difficult emotions; communicate more effectively and develop creative solutions to relationship stress.
All in just 2 hours! And for just $67.45, a 25% discount off the normal retail price.
