Enneagram Reflections | Enneagram Coach


Summary
In this episode of the Hey Docs! Podcast, host Jill Allen welcomes back Kimberly Collins for an insightful discussion on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and its practical applications, particularly in small business settings like orthodontic practices. They explore how understanding personality types can enhance team dynamics, improve leadership, and address workplace conflicts. Kimberly explains the four categories of the MBTI, the importance of self-awareness, and the legal and ethical considerations when implementing personality tests in hiring and team management. The conversation emphasizes the value of emotional intelligence and psychological safety in creating a harmonious and productive work environment. 

Takeaways

• The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) can be a powerful tool for leaders, particularly in small business environments like orthodontic practices, to enhance self-awareness and understanding of their teams, ultimately creating more harmonious workplaces.
• It is illegal to use personality typing systems like MBTI or Enneagram for hiring, job placement, or promotions. These tools should be implemented after hiring to understand team dynamics, not as a selection criterion.
• MBTI focuses on "what" people do, categorizing behaviors and preferences, while the Enneagram digs into the "why" behind actions, examining underlying fears and desires. Both can be used complementarily within a practice for different purposes.
• For personality typing systems to be effective in a workplace, psychological safety must be prioritized. Team members should feel comfortable expressing themselves without fear of retribution from leaders or colleagues.
• Understanding that individuals and their leadership styles can evolve over time is important. Regular reassessment and continuous self-improvement can help leaders and their teams adapt and thrive as they grow professionally and personally.

Summary
 
In this conversation, Andrew and Reed discuss the benefits of owning dental practice real estate versus leasing. They highlight the importance of considering long-term needs and the flexibility that ownership provides. They emphasize that owning real estate allows for building equity and creating additional financial opportunities at the end of a dental career. They also mention the tax benefits and the ability to control the atmosphere and neighboring tenants when owning a building. The barriers to ownership, such as availability and cost, are also addressed. Dental Real Estate Partners offers a unique approach to dental real estate ownership through partnerships. They help dentists navigate the process of owning their own practice space, even if they don't have the upfront capital. They work with dentists to find the right property, structure partnerships, and secure financing. The availability of commercial real estate and capital restraints are the main barriers to ownership. However, there are opportunities to negotiate prices and find creative financing options. Dental Real Estate Partners can assist dentists at any stage of the process and provide guidance and advice.

Takeaways

• Owning dental practice real estate allows for building equity and creating additional financial opportunities at the end of a dental career.
• Ownership provides flexibility and control over the atmosphere and neighboring tenants.
• Leasing may seem less risky, but it can limit growth and financial control in the long run.
• Availability and cost are common barriers to ownership, but exploring partnerships and considering multi-tenant locations can provide more options.
• Understanding the tax benefits and financial strategies associated with owning real estate is crucial. Dental Real Estate Partners offers a unique approach to dental real estate ownership through partnerships.

    Today, I am joined by Dr. Michael Capogna from PracticeAscend. Dr. Capogna is here to discuss the importance of follow-ups in busy practices, how PracticeAscend can make these tasks more manageable, and the role of AI and automation in maintaining a personal touch with patients. We'll also explore the future of AI in orthodontics and how practices can leverage these innovations at different stages of their lifecycle.
     
    Let’s get into it!
    
    Summary
     
    Michael, an orthodontist, discusses his company Practice Ascend, which helps orthodontic practices with systematic patient follow-up. He explains that the idea for the company came about when they realized they weren't effectively following up with patients who didn't start treatment right away. They initially used a notebook and then a Google spreadsheet but wanted a better, simpler way to automate and streamline the follow-up process. Practice Ascend was born out of this need. Michael highlights the importance of follow-up in increasing conversion rates and providing a better patient experience. He also discusses how Practice Ascend uses AI to automate tasks and improve efficiency for treatment coordinators and front desk staff. The system includes features like drag-and-drop follow-up tiles, automated Google reviews, call connect for Google ads and customizable follow-up reminders. Michael emphasizes the simplicity and user-friendliness of Practice Ascend, making it accessible to all levels of technical ability. Practice Ascend is a software that helps with follow-ups and communication in orthodontic practices. It allows practices to track and categorize patients based on their status and automate drip campaigns to reach out to patients who haven't started treatment or have been unresponsive. The software also integrates with email and provides customizable options for follow-ups. In orthodontics, AI is expected to improve virtual monitoring, automate tasks like generating videos for patient support, and enhance digital workflow. It is important for practices to clean up their statuses and have a clear follow-up process in place before implementing Practice Ascend.

      In this conversation, Jill interviews Oliver Gelles, the Chief Marketing Officer of OrthoFi. They discuss Oliver's background in the orthodontic industry and his journey with OrthoFi.

From Google pay-per-click ads to A.I. pitfalls, we have a lot to cover.

      Summary

It discusses the challenges of verification and the increasing scrutiny from Google to eliminate fake businesses. The conversation also highlights the concerns of sharing business information and the need for proper documentation. The role of AI in advertiser verification and its impact on Google Ads and pay-per-click campaigns is examined. The influence of AI on content creation, chatbots, dynamic ads, and geotargeting is discussed.

      Summary

It discusses the challenges of verification and the increasing scrutiny from Google to eliminate fake businesses. The conversation also highlights the concerns of sharing business information and the need for proper documentation. The role of AI in advertiser verification and its impact on Google Ads and pay-per-click campaigns is examined. The influence of AI on content creation, chatbots, dynamic ads, and geotargeting is discussed.

      “Marketing is always adapting and always changing and that’s one of the things I always mention in the podcast I do is in every practice we work with, you have to adapt or die. If you don’t adapt and embrace technology, it’s not gonna happen. You’re not gonna be able to be out there. It’s not about you. It’s about the patient. It’s about them, and that’s the hardest thing for people to understand.” 5:17

      “Marketing is always adapting and always changing and that’s one of the things I always mention in the podcast I do is in every practice we work with, you have to adapt or die. If you don’t adapt and embrace technology, it’s not gonna happen. You’re not gonna be able to be out there. It’s not about you. It’s about the patient. It’s about them, and that’s the hardest thing for people to understand.” 5:17

      “It’s just trusting the process of ‘OK, these people trust us.’ They see a little bit of the doctor and most of the TC, but if you educate them and inform, and influence your patients of what to expect at that consult, they’re not going to think any different like ‘Why is the doctor here for only 3 minutes? I expected him for 10.’ So if you educate and influence your patients before they come in on what to expect, it’s golden.” 9:07
