Great employees are worth their weight in gold. Managing them is usually the most taxing part of the job. Different personalities, different ages - all of it comes with pros and cons. My guests - Michelle Coker and Matt Nelson from the California Dental Association - help offices with these challenges every day. We unpacked the nuanced dynamics of workplace communication and the generational differences coloring today's dental practices. I hope it’s helpful! 

We tackled these topics:

  • Workplace Communication

  • Onboarding & Training Importance

  • Generational Differences

  • Open Dialogue

  • Effective Team Management

  • Gender Dynamics in Dentistry

  • Employee Mental Health

  • The Value of Mentoring and Support
