What is Coaching?

Coaching is recognized worldwide by leading experts from many disciplines as a powerful and effective tool for assisting leaders (Dentists) in creating a practice of choice and creating life balance.

Forbes cited coaching as the second fastest growing profession in the country. Fortune 1000 companies have used it to transform their organizations (dental practices), and testimonials (click here to read what Dr. Ron’s clients are saying ) from around the world keep pouring in about the power of professional coaching. Yet with all this, relatively few dentists even know what coaching really is. In fact, it is estimated that only about 15% of the general population have heard about professional coaching, and most dentists equate consulting with coaching.

Oh contraire, dental coaching is so much more. Professional Dental Coaching is a highly personalized and rapidly growing approach for helping dentists to improve, develop, learn new business and life skills, find personal success, achieve objectives and manage life change and personal challenges.

Has this piqued your interest yet?

You can hire a Coach—a new kind of advisor who will strategize with you in regularly scheduled monthly sessions held in person, on the phone or via e-mail.  Coaching started in the business world to help stressed out executive’s cope with their professional and personal lives.  Increasingly more and more dentists and other professionals are turning to coaches to help them with time management, building their practices, bringing their goals into focus and helping them get further ahead. 

This could be you!

Coaching is proven to work when these two factors are present: 

• The Dentist is willing to grow, and
• There is a gap between where they are now and where they want to be. 

That is all that is necessary for you and your Coach to solve problems, create a new life, turn a practice around, double sales and profitability, and design and implement a plan of action.  Dr. Ron, THE DENTAL COACH ^sm works with scores of Dentists to stay on track building their businesses while balancing their work and their personal lives.

Dental coaching has proven to be incredibly valuable in both professional and personal challenges. While most dentists hire a coach initially to work on their practice, many of the issues include…

• Developing leadership ability and presence in the practice
• Managing competing responsibilities and challenging goals
• Relationship building-between staff and patients
• Writing and committing to a set of personal Core Values
• Setting a vision and sharing it with the team
• Personal branding for the business and the doctor
• Motivating the team
• Leading change
• Team building
• Crafting positive impact
• Creating positive perceptions in the community
• Accountability
• Ethics & integrity
• Practice transition planning
• Overcoming a career slump
• Ongoing professional and personal development
• Creating a financial picture for economic success

These and many other topics such as these are the "fodder" of coaching for dentists.
