Coaching for dental professionals
Dentistry,
Reimagined.
Is your practice still serving the life you built it for? Coaching for dental professionals at an inflection point, from Brett Kessler, DDS, and Mark Kogut.
The drift
When the drill stops meaning anything
Your practice was built to serve a life. Over time the practice may have taken over, or the life you want may have changed. Both call for the same work: decide the direction, then build the practice to carry it.
- The same procedures, day after day.
- A partnership, DSO, or business model that no longer fits your values.
- Standards of perfection, little appreciation from the people you serve, and burnout you keep hidden from your team and your family.
- A big decision ahead, like dropping insurance plans, selling, or transitioning your practice, with no clear way to decide.
- Frustration with a team that pulls in a different direction than you.
- A practice so demanding you forget to live the life it affords.
The approach
To solve the outside puzzle, solve the inside puzzle first.
Most dentists arrive with a practice problem: burnout, a partnership that no longer fits, a transition they can't decide on. We start there, then do the inside work that makes the outside decisions clear. Then every practice decision gets one test: does it get you closer?
Values
Name what you value most deeply, and what living by those values costs.
Principles
Turn your values into the principles you practice by.
Mission
Live your mission as a daily practice.
Vision
Picture your life and your practice five years from now.
The Practice Drift Assessment
Where is your practice drifting?
Five reflection questions. About fifteen minutes. Write what is true for you today, then see how to read your own answers.
- On the outside, what does your life look like right now?
- On the inside, what does it feel like?
- What are you most tired of?
- Name three to five things you value most deeply.
- If your life were as good as it could possibly be five years from now, what would it look like?
