SUMMARY:Turning Ordinary into Extraordinary and More
DESCRIPTION:Agenda:\nBreakfast & Registration – 7:45 a.m.\nLecture – 8:15 a.m.\nDismissal – 12:00 p.m. \nTuition Cost: AIDA members: $99 per person\nGeneral Admission: $149 per person\n*Tuition includes Breakfast \n**Limited Seating Available for this Event \nCE: 4 Lecture CE Credits\nCE Code: 550\nPrerequisites: None \nCourse Description: Every office is made up of individuals who all possess a multitude of flaws.  In even the most dynamic\, successful\, consistently happy organizations\, there still exists flawed individuals\, far from perfect.  How did a group of ordinary people create something extraordinary?  Vision\, systems\, personal reflection\, honesty about our own unique drawbacks\, along with many more pragmatic and attainable frameworks that all dental offices can create.  Dr. Gupta will not only introduce steps to take to optimize the practice structure but will also challenge each participant to reflect upon their own personal daily habits and routines\, and how small changes can lead to a much-improved practice and personal life. \nCourse Objectives: \n\nGain strategies and tools for inspiring a culture of self-directed leaders in the practice\nExplore a culture of autonomy in which team members feel ownership with practice improvement and implementation\nCompletely re-think the norms of the patient experience\nDiscover the #1 happiness and relationship killer that also affects your ability to perform more comprehensive dentistry\nIntroduce dynamic and underutilized clinical changes that are valuable\, needed by patients\, but also easy on our back and hands\n\nMeet the Instructor: Dr. Ankur Gupta\, DDS \nAnkur A Gupta\, DDS\, after completing a one-year GPR in Cleveland\, started a practice from scratch in 2005. Armed with what he considered adequate dental knowledge\, hand skills\, and a personable demeanor\, he watched as his practice floundered\, finances became un-predictable\, and his lower back and spirit toward his profession became worrisome. Rather than continue the trend\, he made a guinea pig out of his office\, family\, and self\, attempting any and all personal and professional “experiments” in self-improvement. \nMore than a decade later\, he enjoys excellent new patient numbers and case acceptance\, a solution oriented dental team; and most importantly\, a meaningful and positive identity. He happily shares the failures and successes with dental and community groups throughout the country\, always ending his presentations with practical\, implementable\, step-by-step ways to be better. \nDr. Gupta graduated from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry in 2004. In 2005\, after completing a one-year General Practice Residency in Cleveland\, Ohio\, he and his partner Dr. Nisha Gupta started North Ridgeville Family Dentistry. In addition to founding North Ridgeville Family Dentistry\, Dr. Gupta is a member of the American Dental Association\, Greater Cleveland Dental Society\, Ohio Dental Association\, ADA Success Speaker Corp and an active board member and a speaker for Catapult Education’s Speaker Bureau. \n
