If you could be any of the Avengers, who would you be? That question was asked of Kiera, Tiffanie, and Brittany in this episode (listen to find out their answers). Fan of superheroes or not, there's a huge point to this: collaboration makes the best team. The Tony Starks and Thors are great on their own, but when they work together, they're unstoppable! It's the same with your team.
Kiera, Tiff, and Brittany talk about collaboration and why it makes the best practices. The top three takeaways:
Seek to genuinely celebrate other people
Leaders, let go of that false idea of control
Raise your standards and only hire A-team players

This episode is the perfect follow-up to episode 409, "Yes, … and?" In it, Kiera challenges listeners to use the What If? method to solve problems and come up with amazing ideas. The concept: Write down the rules of your industry on one side of a piece of paper. Then, across from each rule, write down, "What if …" and then flip that rule around! Kiera shares how she created an entire business plan with this method.
The what if method incorporates the soul of your team and the systems of your practice into one extremely fun activity (best meeting ever?).

Do you find your appointments running over? Or that they just don't feel productive? Today's Dental A-Team episode teaches you how to get your patients the best bang for their buck at the dentist's office. There are two big ways to do this:
Time yourself during appointments to understand how much time they're actually taking, then find ways to do things more quickly without compromising care.
Find at least one same-day add-on with every patient. These add massive benefits for both parties in the long run!

Start small; get your feet under you

Become scheduling masters
