The “I” in iRONMAN is for Impression.
According to Positive Psychology, people make an immediate and lasting assessment of you in the time it takes to snap your fingers.
Known as the two second rule, a first impression is a lasting impression! In dentistry, great first impressions are important when building relationships and brand loyalty with your patients and team.

Are You Getting to the Root of Your Problem?
Is your practice experiencing a decline in treatment case acceptance?
More importantly, do you know why?
All too often, it is a breakdown in communication when prescribing a treatment plan or in the hand-off to proceed with the next appointment. Here are three ideas to get you started with improving your practice communication:
Verbiage Matters. Be sure every team member is relaying the exact same message patients
Have a Plan. Give the patient a simple road map of the treatment and the steps involved
Follow-up, Follow-up, Follow-up. Designate a team member for all follow-up and determine appropriate frequency

Where in the World is Lisa
I recently traveled to PA to visit my family and spend a week with my dad, who is 94 years young!
My niece, a Millennial, my dad, a Traditionalist, and I, a Gen X, teamed up to tackle a scenic jigsaw puzzle.
I also watched him collaborate with two colleagues to build a doll house for a donation.
It made me realize no matter what age you are, working together and using clear, respectful generational communication is the key to getting along!
