CEO Harnesses Emotional Intelligence for Dentistry
Anacortes, Wash. (PRWEB) February 13, 2015 -- Dentists will soon learn to improve their financial profits and emotional well-being through the use of emotional intelligence, thanks to a course taken by Vicki McManus, CEO of Productive Dentist Academy. McManus obtained her certification in the specialized course last June in Atlanta, Georgia, and now she will be putting these techniques into practice at the Academy's upcoming productivity workshop on May 14-16. The workshop will take place in Plano, Texas.
“This will allow me to create leadership programs for our doctors that will tap into their own positive emotional intelligence,” McManus said. “Most dentists are exhausted by stress, particularly high achievers. Productive Dentists Academy is the leader in increasing revenues for them, and this new certification allows us to help business owners enjoy both the financial and emotional rewards they deserve.”
With these techniques, she says a dentist will learn to facilitate conversations, self-reflection, and thinking in a way to build savvier approaches to dealing with daily hassles and big challenges. Dentists will also learn how to resolve workplace conflict, how to handle toxic people, and how to improve their observation skills.
“Having new avenues to help doctors connect with patients and their team is a high-value skill as a coach,” McManus explains.
