Leadership Retreat with Coach Steve and Dr Mike
I hear it all the time that the most challenging aspect of running a dental practice is dealing with the “staff”. As a practicing dentist, I can understand that. We like control and our employees can make us feel that we have absolutely no control over our practice. Well, the good news is that if you can cut a crown prep, you can regain control of your practice, You just need a little help, a little training. Lotus leadership retreats are all about control, freedom, and happiness. Your practice isn’t going to fix itself, do yourself and your “team” a favor and lead.
