Morning Huddle Action Thoughts

April 5

Thought:  Where all think alike, no one thinks very much.  Walter Lippmann

Action:  Welcome all questions, objections, and concerns from patients today not as obstacles to acceptance of treatment, but as opportunities to discuss and discover together ways to help your patients get what they really want. 

April 6

Thought:  You cannot step twice into the same stream.   For as you are stepping in, other and yet other waters flow on.    Heraclitus

Action:  There is no time like the present!  Seize every opportunity to make every minute count today.  Look for opportunities for same day treatment, scheduling unscheduled treatment, seeing emergencies today, and every opportunity that the day presents.  Today’s opportunities will only come once…today!

Thought:  Counting time is not so important as making time count.  James J. Walker

Action:  Do at least one more thing during each patient visit today: inquire about whitening, pending treatment, or any other item that you may not otherwise think there is time to talk about.

April 8

Thought:  Let no sleep fall upon the eyes ‘till thou hast thrice reviewed the transactions of the past day.  Pythagoras

Action:   Make a mental note at the end of the day today: “What was the best thing that happened today?”  Continue the habit of sharing that thought the next morning during the morning huddle.

Thought:  Think all you speak, but speak not all you think.  Patrick Delany
