Emotional Intelligence: The Key to Patient Care, Staff Retention and Productivity

OVERVIEW

Would you:

  • Like to decrease the level of conflict with the staff within the office?
  • Like to improve communications between staff and patients?
  • Like to see improved patient care with more referrals?
  • Like to understand why a patient says no to a specific procedure?
  • Like to move from being a good dentist to a great dentist?

Every major discretionary (dental) procedure is first and foremost an emotional decision for your patients. Effective leadership, especially of a dental practice, demands emotional competency. Therefore, E.I. (emotional intelligence) is critical to success.

Often the most intellectually gifted (high I.Q.) and technically excellent professionals seem to be on a never-ending journey to elevate their technical competency. But, many end up frustrated, or exhausted, as they encounter countless recurring leadership and staff problems

Individual relationships create the workplace climate and n turn, the climate shapes the ways employees and patients relate to each other and the organization. So working on the relationships through EQ is a high-leverage solution to improve performance and productivity.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

This course is available to all members of the dental team.
