most of which they had no idea about or may not even understand because they are part of YOUR process.\u00a0 What great communication will do is the magic that I often describe as dentistry happening WITH someone instead of TO someone.<\/p>\n<p>This special 180-degree difference is all done through communication.<\/p>\n<p>Today, your list is the list that matters.\u00a0 That is the areas of improvement you can make specific to patient communication.<\/p>\n<p>I would ask you to think about this in three ways\u2026<\/p>\n<p>1<sup>st<\/sup> \u2013 What do you need to know about the patient to help make it a successful experience for them?<\/p>\n<p>2<sup>nd<\/sup> \u2013 What does the patient need to know about you, themselves, the process, etc (EVERYTHING) to make it a successful experience?<\/p>\n<p>Now you do this for your own personal position and responsibilities first and then you also think about the your thoughts for helping your other team members.<\/p>\n<p>The secret to this is that no one person stands alone with the patient.\u00a0 It is about making sure that you are successfully helping the patient be prepared for the next step, phase, team member in the experience.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s how we connect patient communication to team member communication, which is so incredibly important.<\/p>\n<p>Your communication with patients matter.<\/p>\n<p>Your communication with each other matters.<\/p>\n<p>But the real magic is connecting the two together and that is where we\u2019ll go next week.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, here are the keys to communication with anyone\u2026 especially your patients, but also your kids, spouses and EVERYONE else you want to have a great relationship with.<\/p>\n<p>Ask Questions.<\/p>\n<p>Be Curious.<\/p>\n<p>Care.<\/p>\n<p>LISTEN.<\/p>\n<p>Restate.<\/p>\n<p>Describe and Explain Clearly.<\/p>\n<p>Be Transparent.<\/p>\n<p>VERIFY Understanding.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to be the best\u2026 add a few adjectives to each and you will be on your way to becoming a more effective communicator with everyone including your patients.<\/p>\n<p>Ask MORE and BETTER Questions.<\/p>\n<p>Be GENUINELY and STRATEGICALLY Curious.<\/p>\n<p>Care MORE and with AUTHENTICITY.<\/p>\n<p>LISTEN MORE and BETTER and WANT TO.<\/p>\n<p>Restate FREQUENTLY.<\/p>\n<p>Describe and Explain Clearly WHAT Matters Most To THEM.<\/p>\n<p>Be Transparent WITH Your Objectives and THEIR Experience.<\/p>\n<p>VERIFY Understanding with EVERY \u201cnext step\u201d \/ Decision.<\/p>\n<p>Remember YOUR List is the key.\u00a0 You know best where you take shortcuts or miss steps or do not fully engage the patients.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s make it happen \u2013 because nothing else does \u2013 without this.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/dentalsuccesstoday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/f2fd8f06571fe09827ace5fcb31ec1d2.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-80\" src=\"https:\/\/dentalsuccesstoday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/f2fd8f06571fe09827ace5fcb31ec1d2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"576\" height=\"210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dentalsuccesstoday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/f2fd8f06571fe09827ace5fcb31ec1d2.png 576w, https:\/\/dentalsuccesstoday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/f2fd8f06571fe09827ace5fcb31ec1d2-300x109.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I loved your lists from last week.\u00a0 They were very powerful and I appreciate you sharing.\u00a0 I hope that you took each item and had real candid conversations about them with each other in order to increase everyone\u2019s effectiveness and cohesiveness.\u00a0 I can\u2019t think of anything more important than communication in order to develop a&#8230;
