Your chance to win a career changing dental CPD training

Sales and communication skills are seldom taught as part of undergraduate or FD studies. Consequently, for most dentists, their careers are stifled, they earn far less than they could and are more unfulfilled than they need to be.

Did you know, whether you are sued or not has far more to do with your communication skills than your clinical skills?

This very short survey is designed to assess attitudes to sales and communication skills training in dentistry. Estimated time to complete 7 minutes.


Completion of this survey will enter you into a prize draw to win 2-day, career changing, CPD valued at £1500. Patient Centred Sales- BEST CHOICES

Crap questions people ask themselves




If you are like most dentists, you are probably aware of situations thatyou are not happy with.

When you think about this situation(s), you are also probably ruminating on some or all of the following questions;
·       What is my problem?
·       Why has it been it been happening since. . . . ?
·       Who is to blame?
·       Whose fault is it?
·       Why haven’t I solved it?

If on reflection, you realise that despite your previous ruminations, the situation has not yet improved or changed you will want to find an alternative approach that works.

Einstein said “ insanity is doing the same thing over  and over again and expecting a different result.”

Great business coaches recognise that the quality of your life is determined by the quality of the questions you ask yourself.

Why not ask yourself a new set of question and notice what improves.

·      What I want is . . .?
·      I will know I have got what I want when . . . ?
·      What will also change when I get what I want is  . . .?
·      The resources I already have that will help me achieve this are. . .?
·      Something similar that I have done previously is. . . . ?
·      My next step is. . . . .?
