November 12

Thought:  My job is removing obstacles and challenging people’s imaginations. 

Leon Royer, Project Manager,3M

Action:  Ask every existing patient with unscheduled treatment today, “What is the biggest obstacle standing in the way of moving forward?”  Then go to work to help them remove that obstacle.  Help them imagine what it would be like to have the dentistry they always wanted, and then help them get it.

November 13

Thought: Feedback is the breakfast of champions.  Rick Tate

Action:  Ask at least one patient today, “How was our service?”  or “In addition to what we have done, what else can we be doing for you?”  Ask for feedback.  Your patients will appreciate it.
