How is your practice going? I don't mean profits, number of patients, or the team's performance. I'm talking about the actual building that holds your practice. Patients see the little things you don't. They see the weeds in your parking lot, the air freshener that ran out, the bug that got stuck in the observation light. These things may be little, but they really add up. Flaws in the physical space can hinder the patient experience.

Thanks to a gift from one of our coaching clients and BPA members, Dr. Chris Mazzola, I'm reading a book authored by David Brooks called "How to Know a Person." Thanks Chris! One idea in particular, spoke to me. Frankly, it pointed out how I could have been better in just about all my close relationships, including those in my dental practice. Instead of solving problems for others around me or sharing my "wisdom" with anybody brave enough to share with me their troubles, Brooks describes a presence called accompaniment. It's profound and I'll bet after reading more, you will identify many past instances where you would have been better to show up and support rather than inspire, educate, and solve.
