Conflict in the Dental Workplace Caused by Personality and Generational Differences
Prerequisite(s): None.
Corequisite(s): None.
Pre- or corequisite(s): None.
We are experiencing a changing economy, shifting workplace demographics and a shortage of real talent and skilled staff in the dental office. One of the reasons for this is generational differences. Researchers tell us that for the first time in history we have four generations working side by side in today’s workplace. Each generation walks into the workplace with different values, work ethics, and ideas as to how the dental office should operate. They rarely interact with each other and often do not recognize each other’s skills or strengths. When there is misunderstanding and lack of appreciation, conflict is created, production is reduced, staff turnover increases, and team morale decreases.
In this interactive workshop you will learn:
• The four personality types and how to value the differences
• The generational differences: their history, values, and motivation
• Each generation’s clash points
• How to communicate effectively with the different personalities and generations
• What it takes to retain and create job security for each generation
This workshop is a must for everyone in the dental office!

Job Search and Interview Skills
Prerequisite(s): None.
Corequisite(s): None.
Pre- or corequisite(s): None.
Just as dentistry is changing, so is the job search process necessary to find an excellent office. What is needed is a structured plan of action. An integral component of the process is the interview. At one time the interview was all one-sided, a meeting for the prospective dentist to assess your suitability for the position s/he had available. These days in this market, the interview works both ways. The interview also provides an opportunity for you to assess if this is the office for you.
In this workshop you will learn:

An exciting approach to personal understanding_x000D_
Ever wondered why do some people - colleagues, parents or students - get "under your skin" more than others? Ever wondered how to deal with others that "just don't seem to get it" when it's so obvious to you?_x000D_
If so, this workshop is for you. The True Colours personality model recognizes that people are unique - that they think differently, have different values, and strive for self-worth in different ways. You will learn about "temperament" colours, meet others that are "just like you" or "very different", and learn different communication styles, ways to improve communication with students, parents and colleagues of different colours, and learning styles and needs of the different "temperament" colours.
