Breaking Barriers: Drs. Laura and Erin's Journey as Female Leaders in Dentistry 10/16/2024

Breaking Barriers: Drs. Laura and Erin's Journey as Female Leaders in Dentistry Welcome to another episode of Love Your Practice. I'm your host, Dr. Laura Mach. In today's episode, I'm thrilled to welcome back a very special guest and dear friend, Dr. Erin Sheffield. Erin and I go way back, having known each other for nearly 20 years. Our paths first crossed when I started a Yahoo group for pre-dental Mormon women, seeking to connect with like-minded individuals. Erin's leadership skills shone through early on as when she was the President of the Women in Dentistry Club at BYU. Recognizing her potential, I encouraged her to apply to the University of Iowa Dental School, where she thrived with a well-deserved scholarship. Fast forward to today, and Erin has achieved remarkable success in a field where women are significantly underrepresented. As an oral surgeon, she is part of the mere 8% of women in this specialty, making her voice and experiences all the more valuable. In our conversation, we delve into the challenges and barriers faced by women in medicine and dentistry. We explore the stark gender disparities in oral surgery and discuss how a lack of proactive initiatives to recruit and support women may contribute to this imbalance. Erin shares her insights on the societal privileges that can lead to a lack of awareness and initiative in addressing these issues. So join us as we navigate the complexities of being a woman in a male-dominated field, and learn from Erin's inspiring journey. Highlights from this episode: Setting policies and boundaries Adapting office schedules for better patient/staff outcomes Mindset, gratitude and self-care Delegating and systems Economic impacts on the dental field Gender bias in the medical field and the importance of female representation Resources and links mentioned: Watch Laura's podcasts on YouTube: Laura’s email: Laura’s website: Laura’s podcast: Laura’s Instagram: Laura’s Facebook pages: Find Dr. Sheffield online: Instagram TikTok DM Dr. Shellfield if you’re interested in her February retreat.

In this episode, we explored the essential aspects of elevating oral health care through a patient-focused and teamwork-oriented approach.

We also emphasized the significance of teamwork, professionalism, and a commitment to elevating the standard of care in dental practices. One of the most impactful insights involved approaching hygienists about expanding their responsibilities to provide better patient care. We discussed the potential benefits of this shift for both the hygienists and the practice, such as increased earnings and improved patient care. Brandi also highlighted the financial benefits of scheduling appropriately for hygienists, preventing them from feeling overworked and contributing to increased production and elevated care.

Leadership and Communicating Effectively with Team Members 05/01/2024

Leadership and Communicating Effectively with Team Members Are you struggling to make important decisions to move your practice forward? This happens to all of us, and my guest on this episode, Dr. Seema Amin, opens up about her doubts and struggles with making necessary staffing changes in a timely manner. Dr. Amin has practiced dentistry for 26 years, starting in an associateship and then buying her own practice in 2011. She discusses her transition to practice owner and the challenges of moving into the “employer” side of managing the business, making decisions on her own, and managing people. Buying her dental practice, Dr. Amin was scared but dreamt of how great it would be to be independent. She soon realized how difficult it was going to be when confronted with managing people. Hiring and retaining employees was the hardest part of growing the practice. As we worked to develop her vision, she discovered her internal fears prevented staffing changes that needed to happen and learned that much of leadership is looking at the perspective of people we are leading. It’s so important to consider how our employees are thinking to understand their emotions and actions. This helps us set the stage for more productive communication. If you feel that an employee is toxic to your practice even with your good leadership skills, follow your gut. As Dr. Amin says, “Never let a toxic employee make you feel any different or insecure in your own thoughts.” If you’re unhappy in your practice, something has to change. Don’t let the fear of what could happen stop you from making the decisions that need to be made. You will show up as a better caregiver for your patients. Listen to this episode now for questions to ask yourself if you think an employee may need to be replaced and the necessity to overcome personal fears and doubts in facing the difficult changes needed to move your practice forward! Highlights from this episode: Reconciling our human side with our business-owner side when changes are needed within the practice How setting and meeting standards for success can interfere with how we run our practices as we strive to meet those standards Signs that an employee may need to be replaced Addressing management issues in a timely manner Overcoming challenging thought habits and internal conflicts behind personal fears in good practice management Leadership skills: their importance, using them, and looking at issues through the eyes of employees Learning to communicate Resources and links mentioned: Watch Laura's podcasts on YouTube: Laura’s email: Laura’s website: Laura’s podcast: Laura’s Instagram: Laura’s Facebook pages: Thank you so much for tuning in to this podcast!

Avoiding Burnout and Making Changes With Dr. Laura Brenner As female dental practice owners, we love helping others and putting others first.

In this episode, I welcome Dr. Laura Brenner who helps dental practice owners recognize what burnout looks like and make important decisions regarding continuing on their journey as a dental practice owner … or not. As dental practice owners, we often create and carry great levels of stress which can lead to burnout! We sometimes compromise how we want to serve because we try to conform to how we believe others are viewing us. However, as leaders, it is essential to give ourselves permission to design our practices the way we want them to be. And this includes trusting others to do their jobs. Situations may arise that are beyond our control, but we have to give ourselves the grace to know that we can do things better in the future. Taking time to create boundaries and define how we want to serve others in our lives can create clarity and help us define how we, along with our employees and patients, can be winners. Are you ready to design and plan your life right now according to where you are right now? Why wait? Listen to this episode so you can start living right now, and you may be surprised at what doors open to you because you are serving in the capacity you want!

The Mental Stress of Owning A Dental Practice 01/10/2024

The Mental Stress of Owning A Dental Practice Is your brain giving you a hard time? Is it telling you something is dangerous that really is not dangerous? If so, know that this happens to the best of us! In this episode, I look at some of my struggles as a dental practice owner of 15 years and discuss how coaching can help all of us who are female dental practice owners. We all have many elements of our work lives that can cause stress. And our brains often feed into that stress and can cause us to spiral into worrying about things that, in reality, we may not need to be stressing over. This is natural because human brains have evolved into showing us potential dangers in our lives. However, we can choose to look at frightening situations in new ways. This changing of our perspectives can lift the weight of worry in profound ways. What are you worrying about? Chances are that how you are looking at your situation could be changed! This episode will help you recognize ways to handle situations without the worry so you can enjoy your practice ownership in a more intentional way. Listen now, and put yourself on the best path to loving your practice! Highlights from this episode: Stresses associated with a slowdown in a practice How quickly our brains can switch to very negative thoughts Ways that coaching helps dental practice owners Recognizing that it is okay to worry about our practices and that worrying is natural The benefits of looking at the facts of situations we are facing to change our perspectives Resources and links mentioned: Watch Laura's podcasts on YouTube: Laura’s email: Laura’s website: Laura’s podcast: Laura’s Instagram: To get my FREE class Love Your Employees, text Loveyouremployees (all one word) to 66866 Laura’s Facebook pages: Thank you so much for tuning in to this podcast!

The Dental Culture Con With Karese Laguerre and Chris “Love” Williams 04/20/2023

The Dental Culture Con With Karese Laguerre and Chris “Love” Williams Do you feel as though your dental practice is not only recognizing but also celebrating diversity? For a closer look at this vital topic, I welcome experienced dental practitioners Karese Laguerre, RDH, and Chris “Love” Williams, RDH, to this episode. Both feel as though diversity is missing from our industry and are organizing an amazing experience for all to learn more about this topic. In this episode, we delve into diversity, equity, and inclusion within our workplace and patient culture. Karese is a Myofunctional Therapist, author, and founder of The Myo Spot, a practice through which she uses teletherapy to help clients overcome tongue ties, TMJ disorders, sleep apnea, grinding, anxiety, and various breathing and orofacial dysfunction. Chris "Love" Williams is a United States Air Force combat veteran turned dental hygienist, entrepreneur, speaker, and life coach. As an accomplished professional and motivational speaker, Chris inspires audiences with his unique perspective and infectious enthusiasm and has a personal mission to impact 1 million people. Together, Karese and Chris share a passion for celebrating diversity and have co-founded The Dental Culture Con, an interactive virtual conference that will be happening June 15 -17, 2023. “There is a person attached to these teeth” is a saying that Karese likes to say, and this is so true as we show understanding and empathy to the various populations we serve within our dental practices. It is important to celebrate the differences that people have. Within our industry, patients are more likely to show up to their appointments and respect our dental practices when we respect them as humans. Chris says they are working to promote the “peaceful harmony of connectedness” that people genuinely want to feel. Regarding the conference he says, “The goal is for people to know how to connect with others who are different.” As dental practice owners, it is important to create offices that are inviting to all. As we advertise, showing diversity demonstrates our welcomeness to all within our communities. And this applies to staffing as well, as we work to create environments that retain our current staff and attract new, diverse team members. It’s important to include and represent everyone and celebrate them in the best way possible. Are you ready to learn more about celebrating our differences and all the ways those appear in our lives? If you think culture is important to your business and your life, you are invited to attend The Dental Culture Con!

Mastering Emotions and Conversations With Katherine Eitel Belt 01/11/2023

Mastering Emotions and Conversations With Katherine Eitel Belt We all communicate each and every day. And how we do that has an amazing impact on our team members and our patients. On this episode, I am pleased to welcome Katherine Eitel Belt, CSP, Founder and CEO of LionSpeak Communications Coaching. Katherine focuses on both team-facing and patient-facing communications. This episode explores the importance of always delivering messages from a place of integrity and from a good emotional space as we recognize that we want the best for ourselves and those around us. As dentists, we all want to help people. But when we wear all the hats we need to wear as dental practice owners, we can feel overwhelmed. And then we can get into negative head spaces — or as Katherine says “emotional platforms” — where we suffer from negative thoughts, especially when we need to deliver bad news to employees or patients. However, this episode will help you develop your ability to center yourself before conversations so you can enter them from the platform of trying to make things better for both you and the person to whom you are speaking. You will learn to see your conversations — and change the framework of your conversations — as opportunities to create better alignment for both parties moving forward. Listen now to learn more about the framework for mastering your emotions so you can master your conversations! Highlights from this episode: The need for good communication tools that we can use to shift our emotional platform Best emotions to experience before conversations Goals to have when communicating with others What patients see and hear in the verbal cues when information is delivered to them The reality and proof that situations can look one way and end up turning out much better than expected Recognizing that things “happen for us” as opposed to happening to us What high performers do when mastering their emotions Four reasons people don’t do what we want them to do Resources and links mentioned: Katherine Eitel Belt’s website: Katherine’s Courageous Conversation Support Sheet: Watch Laura's podcasts on YouTube: Laura’s email: Laura’s website: Laura’s podcast: Laura’s TikTok: Laura’s Instagram: To get my FREE class Love Your Employees, text Loveyouremployees (all one word) to 66866 Laura’s Facebook pages: Thank you so much for tuning in to this podcast!

We discuss how powerful a smile is, how alignment can change lives, some theories on why dentists are unhappy, and how we need to have the proper mindset in our careers.

We also discuss how we all, as dentists and practice owners, face many of the same fears and anxieties.

Our feelings come from our thoughts. If we want to be happy, it starts with being aware of what is going on in our minds. This episode can help you change your mindset; listen now to hear some great advice and suggestions to feel good about your work and your practice!

Processing A Negative Emotion 10/26/2022

Overcoming Burnout in Dentistry With Dr. Laura Brenner 10/12/2022

Overcoming Burnout in Dentistry With Dr. Laura Brenner Are you feeling burned out, stressed, or overwhelmed from your dental practice? My guest on this episode knows exactly how you feel! Dr. Laura Brenner holds a very unique place in dentistry. She was a dentist for 10 years and, after burning out, left the practice to follow her passions along another path. She is now a career coach, and in this episode, we discuss some common concerns and solutions for those dealing with the challenges and frustrations facing dentists today. Have you ever considered the idea that sometimes our problems with practicing dentistry come from within ourselves? We often create a desire to please others and have to deal with our own perfectionism. However, there are steps you can take to relieve some of these stresses. It is critical to not sacrifice yourself to your work - it can lead to resentment and worry. Rather, it is necessary to look at yourself and figure out what is important to you, right now, in your own life. As Dr. Brenner says, “We all have to define success for ourselves. That’s the first thing we need to do.” You don’t have to settle into and feel stuck in your current role of work. Give yourself the permission to move past what is holding you back! And that may mean making some changes. Are you in love with your dentistry? If not, now is the time to do something about it. From side gigs to a career change, you can make a change in your life so you are having FUN! There are ways you can enrich other people’s lives other than solely through your practice of dentistry. What is most important is that you find balance and fulfillment in your life - sometimes adding a side gig can improve your dentistry. Shift your energy, and be willing to change. You CAN design your career so you can align it with your life, creating happiness for yourself. Are YOU still having fun with dentistry? This episode will help you find contentment within whatever path you choose for your life. Listen to this episode now to help you find clarity and happiness! Highlights from this episode: Recognizing your career should be FUN and the solutions available to you if you are not in love with dentistry How a side gig can help you find balance and fulfillment - and improve your practice of dentistry The necessity to NOT sacrifice yourself to work Creating boundaries (from others as well as yourself) and a vision and consistency for yourself Some of the biggest challenges facing dentists The necessity of choosing your self-talk Self-examination of why you practice dentistry Resources and links mentioned: Dr. Laura Brenner’s Facebook page: Dr. Laura Brenner’s Facebook group: Dr. Laura Brenner’s website: Dr. Laura Brenner’s blog: Watch Laura's podcasts on YouTube: Laura’s email: Laura’s website: Laura’s podcast: Laura’s TikTok: Laura’s Instagram: To get my FREE class Love Your Employees, text Loveyouremployees (all one word) to 66866 Laura’s Facebook pages: Thank you so much for tuning in to this podcast!

The Magic of Rejuvenating Teeth With Dr. David Clark 08/17/2022

The Magic of Rejuvenating Teeth With Dr. David Clark It is such a pleasure to welcome one of my favorite teachers, Dr. David Clark, to this episode. Dr. Clark is a dentist who has revolutionized how we can treat cracked teeth, going beyond doing crowns. He has created a system of matrices called the Bioclear Method, a new approach to cosmetic and restorative dentistry. Today we discuss practice management and how we present to patients about amazing treatments they actually want, versus just what they need. Friends, you are not going to have to worry about being poorly compensated for doing this beautiful dentistry that patients actually want. We know that our patients want to keep their natural teeth… And we want to help them achieve that! Bioclear overlays can help them keep their teeth, and they have many advantages such as that they feel more comfortable and have almost zero chance of snapping off or creating a need for a root canal. The important aspect is that you can offer this to patients as a treatment “choice.” When given the choice of how to treat their issue, many will be happy with choosing rejuvenation over extra drilling time on their teeth and will be comfortable paying the appropriate level of compensation to you. This treatment option makes so much sense and can transform your practice! Listen to this episode to hear more about this great procedure to offer to your patients and how you can learn to do injected moldings. Highlights from this episode: The magical question of asking patients what they want to do when you have multiple treatment options to offer and how it feels when you give patients what they want Benefits of overlays How to offer choices to your patients so that they don’t mind paying what the procedure is worth Rejuvenation of teeth as a choice Features of injected moldings and patients’ reactions to them How to begin learning about how to do injected moldings Great opportunities that exist for offering rejuvenation Resources and links mentioned: Dr. David Clark’s website: The discount code for Dr. Clark’s intro course: LYP50 Watch Laura's podcasts on YouTube: Laura’s email: Laura’s website: Laura’s podcast: Laura’s TikTok: Laura’s Instagram: To get my FREE class Love Your Employees, text Loveyouremployees (all one word) to 66866 Laura’s Facebook pages: Thank you so much for tuning in to this podcast!

How Fear Stops Us From Leading 06/22/2022

Managing Our Physical and Emotional Well-being With Dr. Ankur Gupta 05/04/2022

Managing Our Physical and Emotional Well-being With Dr. Ankur Gupta It is such a pleasure to welcome back Dr. Ankur Gupta to the podcast for a second time. In this episode, we explore the reality that it is okay to be both a human and a dentist. We all have flaws - nobody is perfect - and that truly is okay. We simply need to build these flaws into our philosophies and change our futures for the better. “In the world of CE, it is not as common to highlight our flaws,” according to Dr. Gupta; and, yet, we all have flaws but must learn to “change the systems around us” so others don’t have to suffer from our flaws. This episode explores the expectations placed upon us: the fact that they are there and how we handle them. It is essential to realize that thoughts are voluntary and can create a lifetime of suffering if we let our brains give in to unrealistic expectations instead of enjoying life! Now is the time for change: changing how you are thinking about various elements of your life and focusing on small physical changes you can do right now can alter the trajectory of your future. Devoting just a few minutes a day to physical improvement can create a big impact! Listen to this episode for some examples of what you can do and the empowerment that can come from these physical and emotional changes. You HAVE the time and the ability to change your future… Listen to this episode to start right now! Highlights from this episode: The reality that success can come, even though we are all flawed Handling the pressures of the expectations placed upon us Exploring our vulnerabilities and the actual sources of those pressures we feel How damaging it is when we look at what others do and subsequently create “shoulds” in our brains Small changes and how they can impact the trajectory of a person’s life Devoting time to posture, balance, diet and other wellness practices: how we view these and the importance of focusing on these actions Information on Dr. Gupta’s upcoming retreat near Chicago on July 29-30 Resources and links mentioned: Dr. Ankur Gupta’s retreat: Retreat coupon code for “Love Your Practice” listeners: LOVE Watch Laura's podcasts on YouTube: Laura’s email: Laura’s website: Laura’s podcast: Laura’s TikTok: Laura’s Instagram: Laura’s Facebook pages: Thank you so much for tuning in to this podcast!
