Annual Planning and Team Retreats

“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy,” as the saying goes. It means working and only working will eventually burn you out and make you have a profound dislike for the profession you chose. This is why retreats were made—these events are a fantastic opportunity to get a well-deserved break from being a high-performing dentist and a means to learn something new and improve our professional relationships. What should you discuss during retreats? How soon should you plan for them? Today, I share the importance of having team retreats and how they can be a means for your practice to improve both financially and culturally. I describe why I always plan for annual retreats and why we never used to have retreats in my practice. I explain topics you can highlight during a retreat, especially when hitting your financial goals. I also discuss what’s in store for you on our 3D Bootcamp this coming January."Nothing makes you get along better than living with people for a couple of days."- Tarun AgarwalThis week on T-Bone Speaks Dentistry Podcast:Why I always plan annual retreatsWhy the retreat wasn't always a retreat and what it was like beforeFocusing on critical thinking during retreatsReverse engineering to get the financial numbers you wantThe procedures I provide in my practice and my commitment to hybridsOur tooth replacement therapy and making sure the patient commits to itWhat you can expect from our 3D Bootcamp next yearOur Favorite Quotes:"Of all the programs we do, the 3D Bootcamp will help drastically change the way you practice dentistry." - Tarun Agarwal"If you haven't been averaging one a month right now, it's going to be difficult to suddenly start doing one and a half or two each month." - Tarun Agarwal"Critical thinking is important for team members, especially when you're moving to a role where you want team members to be like owners." -Tarun AgarwalSubscribe, Connect & Share Your Favorite EpisodesThanks for tuning into this week’s episode of T-Bone Speaks Dentistry.
