DesRoches Leadership Applications Workshop in Chicago

DesRoches Leadership Applications Workshop in Chicago

The ACT Dental Community sponsored the fourth annual Leadership Applications Workshop with Dr. Brian DesRoches at the Conrad Hilton in Chicago on February 4 & 5, 2010.  Dr. DesRoches (who specializes in Psychotherapy & Neurobiology) is credited with helping Dr. Frank Spear of the Scottsdale Center for Dentistry in learning about the mechanics and behaviors of the brain and its role in communication within a dental practice.

Dr. DesRoches is a master at teaching and facilitating the neurobiological method/process for transforming the culture of a dental practice. This is especially helpful for dentists who are seeking higher levels of listening, engagement, and fulfillment with their patients, team members, spouses and children.  In complex restorative dentistry the relationships and people management usually pose the biggest challenges and stress.

Dr. DesRoches is a master in facilitation.

Join us in August as Dr. DesRoches will facilitate his “Couples Workshop” for those couples that are looking to deeply enhance their communication process and learn applicable steps to conflict resolution and the science behind them. The course will take place in Minneapolis (limited to 12 people).

The 2010 Seattle Study Club Symposium

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

seattle_study_clubI recently attended one of the most marvelous continuing education weeks of my life. My wife, Sarah, and I had the privilege of attending the Seattle Study Club Symposium at The Phoenician in Scottsdale, Arizona.  Dr. Michael Cohen, the Director, has done a fantastic job in creating an extraordinary community of highly committed and integrity driven professionals dedicated to the highest level of advanced dental education and treatment planning in the world. I truly have never experienced anything like it in all my years in continuing education.

The week was filled with over 47 speakers, some of the brightest minds in dentistry, all given a challenge to present the newest and most applicable “Tricks of the Trade” in mostly time frames of 60-90 minutes. As a speaker you have to get to the point fast in that kind of time. This year showcased some of the very best inside and outside of dentistry:  John Kois, Avishai Sadan, Michael Fling, William Robbins, Jeffery Rouse, Carl Misch, Lorne Lavine, Maurice Salama, Darrell Cain, Joseph Kan, Jeffery Gitomer and so many more.

Take a peek at 2010’s program (click here). Next year’s SSC Symposium is January 17-22, 2011 at the Ritz Carlton in Key Biscayne, FL.
