“If we don’t have a strong foundation in our practice or in our life, everything that sits on top of it can begin to show wear and tear.” ~Regan Robertson
Welcome to the first part of a special four-part crossover series of Everyday Practices Dental Podcast and the Investment Grade Practices Podcast. This collaboration brings together the expertise and insights of Everyday Practices co-host Regan Robertson, and Investment Grade Practices host Dr. Victoria Peterson as they marry high-level visionary planning with essential nuts-and-bolts day-to-day practice management.
In this episode, Regan and Dr. Victoria talk about the concept of above-the-line vs. below-the-line thinking – a framework that distinguishes between strategic, aspirational planning and the practical, often challenging aspects of implementation. Throughout their discussion, you’ll hear about the vital importance of establishing a robust practice culture that supports both the business and its people. They highlight the necessity to create an ecosystem where visionary ideas can thrive, supported by meticulous management and a strong, cohesive team.
In a time when dental professionals are increasingly experiencing burnout, Regan and Dr. Victoria offer invaluable advice on how to maintain balance and avoid the pitfalls of stress and overwork. They emphasize the need for self-care and the importance of proactively addressing mental health.
As you listen to this episode, we want you to think about the following questions:
- What can I do to better integrate my long-term strategic goals with the daily operations of my practice?
- How can ensure that my practice culture aligns with my vision and supports my team’s well-being?
- Am I or my team members experiencing signs of burnout? What can I do to address this proactively?
- How well am I communicating my vision and expectations to my team? How can I improve?
