In this episode of The Rocky Garza Show, I explore a tension I know we've all felt—choosing between emotion and logic. For years, I've heard (and said) that we're either “feelings people” or “facts people.” But what if that's a false choice?What if clarity doesn't come from choosing one over the other—but from learning how to hold space for both?Neither Emotion Nor Logic Has the Whole TruthHere's the truth: your emotions are lying to you—and so is your logic.If we make decisions based only on emotion, we risk being swayed by temporary feelings. If we only rely on logic, we risk ignoring the humanity behind the decision. The result? Half-informed choices. And when we operate that way, we limit our leadership and our lives.In this episode, I challenge the idea that we need to choose a side. Because I believe the real magic happens in the tension between the two.We All Want a Place to LandMost of us find safety in identifying as “logical” or “emotional” because it gives us a tribe, a default. But life is rarely binary. And when we assign ourselves a category, we unconsciously start operating only from that place—even when it no longer serves us.I've lived in both camps. I've made hyper-logical decisions to protect myself. I've made deeply emotional decisions because I didn't know what else to do. Both have value—but neither tells the full story on their own.A Friday Afternoon With My KidsTo bring this to life, I shared a real-world example: Friday afternoons at my house. Logically, it makes sense to knock out all the chores after school. But emotionally, is that what my kids need? After a long week of school, practices, homework, and being “on” all day, is logic what gets us connection?Not usually.And if I lead with logic without emotion in my home, what makes me think I'm doing any better at work?What About Your Team?Think about your team showing up Monday morning. You're ready to run, energized, focused. So you stack meetings. But your team? They're still coming off the weekend. Their minds are scattered. Their energy is different.Have you ever stopped to ask how they feel? Have you created space for both their logic and emotion before expecting peak performance?If we don't lead with that awareness, we lose people—not because we don't care, but because we don't calibrate.Decision-Making in AlignmentI'm not asking you to throw out structure or ignore your intuition. I'm asking you to align the two.If you're overly emotional, add some logic.If you're purely logical, make space for feeling.Let them complement each other, not compete.Because I believe neither emotion nor logic holds the full truth—but together, they reveal what's real.Questions to Ask YourselfWhat is my emotion trying to tell me that logic can't?What is my logic trying to protect that emotion doesn't see?Where can I start practicing this kind of aligned decision-making in my life or business?You don't have to abandon one to embrace the other. You just have to practice using both with intentionality.Final EncouragementIf you're a leader who's struggled to find balance between heart and head, I want you to know: you're not alone. And you're not broken.You're human. That's the gift.This week, I encourage you to make one decision—big or small—from the alignment of your intellect and your emotion. Not just from your instinct. Not just from what looks good on paper. But from what feels real and makes sense.If this episode spoke to you, please share it with your team, your friends, your boss. You never know who else needs to hear this today.And if you want to go deeper, join me in my next free monthly workshop on leadership and clarity at rockygarza.com/confidence. I'd love to walk with you as you continue to build the clarity and confidence to lead well.Until next time—be seen, be known, and lead well.

Have you ever felt stuck in a negative relationship cycle?   Have you ever struggled with setting boundaries in your relationships? Today, Jay welcomes back a community favorite, the renowned psychotherapist, bestselling author, and podcast host Lori Gottlieb, for an insightful chat about love, relationships, and emotional growth. Lori, best known for her book Maybe You Should Talk to Someone and as co-host of the popular Dear Therapists podcast, brings her deep wisdom and practical advice that really hits home with listeners. Lori shares how people often step into love with unrealistic expectations, thanks to social media and pop culture. She reminds us that while the spark of initial chemistry is thrilling, true, long-lasting love thrives on a deeper connection and genuine understanding. One of the highlights is Lori's take on “idiot compassion” versus “wise compassion.” She breaks down how real compassion means looking at ourselves honestly, recognizing our patterns, and owning our part in the relationship. This is essential for anyone feeling trapped in negative cycles. As the conversation unfolds, Jay and Lori dive into family dynamics, especially around in-laws and blending families. Lori offers practical tips on how to support your relationship while still showing respect for parents, pointing out that these challenges are usually a couple's issues, not just external ones. In this interview, you'll learn: How to Let Go of Unrealistic Expectations How to Practice Wise Compassion How to Break Negative Patterns How to Handle Pressure to Rush Relationships How to Prioritize Clear Communication How to Avoid Pop Culture Relationship Pitfalls How to Cultivate Emotional Resilience Remember, true connection flourishes when we commit to growth, communicate openly, and remain empathetic to both ourselves and others. Every step taken toward understanding and compassion brings you closer to creating a life filled with genuine, lasting connections.

We All Want to be Healthier and Fitter. It Can be Pretty Easy!

At some point in your career, if it hasn't happened already, you'll need to work with a colleague – or interview with a hiring manager – who is either a lot older or a lot younger than you. A lot has been made of the differences between how, for example, GenZ works, as opposed to Baby Boomers. But at the end of the day, your colleagues are just people, and overcoming generational differences can usually be boiled down to “communicate better.” NY Times Bestselling author Lindsey Pollak, the author of books like Becoming the Boss and The Remix: How to Lead and Succeed in the Multigenerational Workplace, joined Andrew in studio to get to the bottom of what we can do to aid inter-age collaboration at work. We All Want the Same Things According to Lindsey, “Everybody wants advancement. Everybody wants a manager who listens to them and cares about them and supports them. Everybody wants to feel that their work has purpose. We just approach it in different ways.” So if you're a manager, know that every member of your team just wants to be heard. And if you're a contributor, try to put yourself in your teammate's shoes. Follow the New Rules of Job Searching Regardless of when you were born, the job searching landscape of 2022 is digital, and so keeping up with technology is key. Know that your resume might be scanned by AI Applicant Tracking Systems, and put your keywords throughout. Know that you'll likely be interviewing remotely, and set up your background accordingly.  Job Switching Isn't a Dirty Word Members of younger generations, like millennials and Gen Z, often jump from job to job – and that can be an asset, as they learn skills and workflows from a whole bunch of teams. But for employers, offering internal mobility can be key to retaining younger employees who value variety. If You're Stuck, Look Outward It can be tough to feel like you're left behind by the current job market. Lindsey's advice? “Go and do something for somebody else.” Volunteering your time, or working on a project that taps into a passion, often will put you in multigenerational groups that share a point of view on the world.

Charles Randall Paul – From Dueling Dualities to Dynamic Duo Dance PartnersHow Trusting Hearts Can Live in “Peaceful Tension” with Opposing Minds Aired Tuesday, February 23, 2021 at 2:00 PM PST / 5:00 PM EST Interview with Charles Randall Paul, President of Foundation for Inter-Religious Diplomacy“Truth lives in our hearts, beliefs lie in our heads.” — Swami BeyondanandaOne of the big problems with finding a commonly-sensed common sense consensus among citizens across the political spectrum is that … well, we disagree. And these days, different political narratives mean different realities. On last week’s show, we featured the new documentary, “The Reunited States of America,” and how respectful, face-to-face, heart-to-heart communication can rehumanize the “other” and affirm “beloved community.”And then what?Do we pretend we don’t disagree on fundamental issues and worldviews? Do we dance around these profound differences, or is there another way? Last summer, I interviewed two thirds of a trio looking to create breakthrough in this regard. Arthur Pena and Jacob Hess are two close friends coming from completely different worldviews. Jacob is a conservative member of the Latter Day Saints. Arthur characterizes himself as a “gay, libertarian, Marxist.”Our guest this week, Charles Randall Paul, is co-authoring a book with Arthur and Jacob, Inevitable Influencers: Why (deep down) We All Want—and Need—to Persuade Each Other of What We See as Good, Beautiful, and True. All three of these gentlemen believe in the seemingly paradoxical “peaceful tension” that can be created when our hearts are unified in the field of love and coherence, while our beliefs might be totally contradictory. Randall Paul seeks to turn our dueling dualities into dynamic duo dance partners, or as he calls them, “trustworthy rivals, not coercive enemies.”Randall Paul, Ph.D., is the president of the Foundation for Inter-Religious Diplomacy. A native of New Jersey, he has a BS from Brigham Young University in social psychology and an MBA from Harvard University. He worked as a business partner at Trammell Crow Company in the southwestern USA, where he developed many commercial real estate projects for sixteen years. He then obtained a doctorate in 2000 at the Committee on Social Thought at the University of Chicago, writing his dissertation on methods for engaging in religious conflict without acrimony or violence. He is on the executive board of the Society for Mormon Philosophy and Theology, and is an editor of the International Journal for Decision Ethics. Having served as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in France and Belgium, he has held numerous callings since, including service as a bishop.If you’d like to discover how changing hearts can be more transformational than changing minds, please join us this Tuesday, February 23rd at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.You can find out more about Religious Diplomacy here. http://religious-diplomacy.org/Support Wiki Politiki — A Clear Voice In the “Bewilderness”If you LOVE what you hear, and appreciate the mission of Wiki Politiki, “put your money where your mouse is” … Join the “upwising” — join the conversation, and become a Wiki Politiki supporter: http://wikipolitiki.com/join-the-upwising/ Make a contribution in any amount via PayPal (https://tinyurl.com/y8fe9dks)Go ahead, PATRONIZE me!

Arthur Peña and Jacob Hess – Can We Disagree Without Becoming Enemies?Beyond Understanding and Empathy to Collaborating and “Co-Resisting”Aired Tuesday, April 7, 2020 at 2:00 PM PST / 5:00 PM ESTInterview with Arthur Peña and Jacob Hess, Co-Authors (with Randall Charles Paul) of “Inevitable Influencers: Why (deep down) We All Want—and Need—to Persuade Each Other of What We See as Good, Beautiful, and True“Q. How do I end an argument with someone I disagree with?A. Tell them, ‘You’re absolutely right. And so am I.’”— Swami BeyondanandaA gay Marxist Spanish teacher and a Mormon mindfulness practitioner walk into a bar – and that is NOT a joke.Despite seemingly opposite backgrounds, Arthur Peña and Jacob Hess have not only become friends, but also collaborators. And they have done so by boldly speaking their truths with, and listening to, one another. At a time when people are de-platformed and “canceled” for speaking their truth and political correctness is proving itself politically incorrect, how DO we use our differences in a dynamic and transformational way? My guests this week Arthur Peña and Jacob Hess, are the co-authors along with Randall Charles Paul of an upcoming book, “Inevitable Influencers: Why (deep down) We All Want—and Need—to Persuade Each Other of What We See as Good, Beautiful, and True”. (Wow. What a title. With a title that long, who needs a book?)Truth, beauty and goodness – as Plato stated and Rudolf Steiner reiterated – are the manifest expressions of love. And while love may be universal, love’s expressions are diverse. And while there’s a part of us who want to pretend these our differences can be glossed over, in doing so we miss out on the power of genuine engagement.Here is a quote from their book introduction:Without authentic conversation across our differences— with a genuine (albeit sometimes wary) openness to mutual persuasion—we fear we’ll be missing something very profound and precious. That’s why we argue here for the importance—for the vital necessity even—of “collaborative contestation among rivals” as we sometimes like to call it.Arthur Peña is a semi-retired teacher of Spanish and English as a Second Language. He has an M.A. in linguistics from the University of Iowa, and a Certificate in Conflict Resolution from Sonoma State University. Specializing in dialogue between liberals and conservatives, Arthur is a member of the National Coalition of Dialogue & Deliberation, and has organized and facilitated public discussion forums on controversial political issues, as well as a number of ongoing local Living Room Conversations.Jacob Hess is a mindfulness teacher and writer focused on exploring long-term, sustainable healing from depression. He is on the board of the National Coalition of Dialogue & Deliberation and co-author of “You’re Not as Crazy as I Thought, But You’re Still Wrong” – and has a passion for preserving space for people to disagree sharply, while still loving and respecting each other. He has a Ph.D. in clinical-community psychology from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. If you’re curious about how we move we can learn to disagree without becoming enemies, and shift from polite understanding and empathy to dynamic collaboration and “co-resisting”, please join us this Tuesday, April 7th 2-3 pm PT / 5-6 pm ET. http://omtimes.com/iom/shows/wiki-politiki-radio-show/To find out more about their upcoming book please go here: https://publicsquaremag.org/editorials/why-persuasion-shouldnt-be-a-dirty-word/Support Wiki Politiki — A Clear Voice In the “Bewilderness”If you LOVE what you hear, and appreciate the mission of Wiki Politiki, “put your money where your mouse is” … Join the “upwising” — join the conversation, and become a Wiki Politiki supporter: http://wikipolitiki.com/join-the-upwising/Make a contribution in any amount via PayPal (https://tinyurl.com/y8fe9dks)Go ahead, PATRONIZE me!

"We treated Reagan, we treated Bush, and we treat Trump too often as if they're idiots. I have no idea whether they are or not, but I don't think that it's a good strategy to assume your opponent is an idiot."Buy @notapipepodcast a coffee!Lawrence Grossberg discusses his book Under the Cover of Chaos: Trump and the Battle for the American Right with Chris Richardson.

Live from Union Hall in Brooklyn! The producers of “Kevin McDonald’s Kevin McDonald Show” take over because of Kevin’s failure to attract a broad commercial podcast audience (:40). A well-travelled socialite (Brian McCann), also named Kevin McDonald, is installed as the show’s new announcer, making Kevin suspicious (4:13). Is he being replaced? Then, Kevin performs a song (8:20) and is forced to read three chapters from his “scandalous tell-all” he didn’t write (11:10). Later, TJ Miller joins Kevin in a new sketch about a father’s determination to build the best Haunted House in the neighborhood (also featuring Jo Firestone, Sarah Heveron-Smith, Andrew Block) (16:38). Then an interview! TJ reminisces about the time his college paid for Kevin to come teach improv, expresses his hatred for the organic opening in improv, and discusses absurdism in comedy (28:42). Last, but certainly not least, Craig Finn (The Hold Steady) plays "Maggie I've Been Searching For Our Son" from Faith In the Future (1:02:00) and "Jester & June" (1:07:20) // "Be Honest" (1:12:43) from his latest record We All Want the Same Things.Kevin McDonald's Kevin McDonald Show is a Forever Dog Podcast:https://foreverdogpodcasts.com/podcasts/kevin-mcdonalds-kevin-mcdonald-show

Craig Finn feels like he's finally graduated from "dabbler" to "solo artist" on his third solo record, "We All Want the Same Things." The album is full of stories about people navigating life, love, and teamwork in the middle section of life.

Singer, songwriter and The Hold Steady frontman Craig Finn talks with Recode's Peter Kafka about his new solo album, "We All Want the Same Things." Finn still enjoys the life of a touring musician but explains why it's unlikely that The Hold Steady will do another big multi-city tour in the near future. Even though the world is politically divided, he says, music can still play a big role in building communities and friendships among strangers. Finn also discusses working with Bruce Springsteen, opening for The Rolling Stones and adapting lyrics written by George R.R. Martin into a song for the "Game of Thrones" TV show.

On the latest episode of the Talkhouse Film Podcast, the Hold Steady's Craig Finn – whose new album We All Want the Same Things drops next month – sits down for a conversation with Late Night host Seth Meyers at his office at 30 Rock. Among the topics the two friends discuss include making the jump from SNL to late night, comedy in Trump's America, taking refuge in fiction and sports, why Bruce Springsteen is “the Harlem Globetrotters of music,” Meyers' favorite guests, the secret of a great skit (and a great song), and much more.

This episode of What Would We Do, delves into Dentists. David Twigg and Chris Bugden deliver an insightful discussion that will inspire you and arm you with new ideas. For more information go to the official website at http://WhatWouldWeDo.com.au   Chris: Hi guys Chris Bugden here. Myself and David Twigg are on a mission to help inspire ideas for your company. Each episode we will be delving into one specific marketplace and reverse engineering it as well as imparting our knowledge & wisdom from the campaigns we've been involved in and books and podcasts we've read.   David: Yes between us we've been working in sales and marketing for many years and we both love discussing business so we aim to inspire you. Today we are going to delve into What we would do if we were starting a Dental practice. What things we would consider adopting from established brands and what could we do better.   chris: Yes we all need to use the dentist on a regular basis so it has become one of those medical practice sectors where the sky is the limit, be growing exponentially even amongst generations that historically haven't hadn't bothered. According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, AIHW, an authority on medical demographic information, In 2012, there were approximately 57 dentists, 4 dental therapists, 5 dental hygienists, 3 oral health therapists and 5 dental prosthetists employed per 100,000 people in Australia.   David: Yes i took my eldest son to the dentist last week and when i looked around the surgery, it seemed to be a very well oiled machine, more minimalist than i recall years ago but the technology has clearly come on leaps and bounds in recent times. I remember as a kid in the UK, everybody used the National health service dentists and frankly with hindsight it felt rather like an abattoir, huge equipment, limited pain control and overpowering smells that were not pleasant. These days it really is a way more comfortable experience in the dentist's chair.     Chris: I'm right with you there David, the average experience in Australia has dramatically improved though no doubt there is a broad spectrum of good and bad. So what have you discovered in your audit of the dentistry online environment?   David: Well there's certainly a lot of templated marketing going on within the Dentistry world. It seems to be fairly standard to be greeted on a home page with a big white smile. There's not much differentiation going on rather like a lot of marketplaces, it's generally fairly mundane messaging focusing on hygiene and patient care.   Chris: So what online marketing would you be thinking about if you were to setup a Dental practice today?   David: Yep so the first thing i would be thinking about regarding marketing material especially including the website would be overcoming objections. So what could those objections that prospective customers may be thinking about:   Pain in the surgery....Price.....Discomfort after the visit....Avoiding longer term problems........competence.....and yes caring, “does this dentist care about my well being?”   By the way on a tangent i was seriously impressed with my son's dentist who called up to check he was ok after his first filling. Frankly my son handled it brilliantly, the needle, the mouth staying open so long, the "angle grinder" type sounds (or that's what's in my mind), the weird sensations, the swollen mouth, the blood.... it's all pretty stressful for a 7 year old's first experience. So i thought when they followed up to check he was ok the day after, it was really a sign that they cared. Of course all it was most likely was a policy decision to do it then the receptionist has the task integrated to her work day to follow up with new patients on the phone but the average patient or parent wouldn’t be aware of this.   Chris: And David that is a whole new area of expertise, being the management of your customer database making sure appointments aren’t delayed as we discussed in our previous podcast regarding skin cancer clinics:   David: Back to the marketing, all communication including the website should be focused on overcoming objections (pain,price,discomfort,competence) AND the importance of the outcome.   The outcome being, the solution to a problem eg no more tooth ache, no more sensitive teeth with hot/cold, no more yellow teeth, straighter teeth, beautiful smile, etc. etc.   Dentistry is best focused on a female audience, males need it as well but pushing female buttons around attractiveness and first impressions is more powerful.   So that would be one of the overall themes of content for the website, social media and in any communication with the prospective marketplace which by the way is likely to be within a 15km radius of your premises. In some cases less than that but marketing to people beyond that radius is wasting money in my opinion because you will be fighting the ultimate objection of inconvenience.   Chris: So you would focus content for the website and social media on overcoming objections as well as problems/solutions. So talk a bit more about that problem/solution matrix. What type of things would work as good topics for content?   David: Well based on what we've learnt from campaigns, some content theme categories could be around: dating.... what role your teeth play in the dating game, in fact there are a lot of angles to run from that one, it's not hard finding stories and experiences that have failed around teeth....... job interviews again we would find a plethora of stories and experiences that justified spending money on teeth to get a new job as well as the other side of teh coin where bad teeth has led to a failed interview. Then there will be other angles such as working a role serving the public with bad teeth....in the modern world this is a fairly common complaint so it becomes a case of using 3rd party references to demonstrate clearly the good teeth vs bad teeth story. Cosmetic surgeon receptionist, airline hosts and hostesses, higher-class waiting and hospitality staff   Some Content could also focus on technology for example tools, equipment, why x is the best and by the way there are only 3 of them in this city....beware of outdated equipment.... new equipment can do this.....filling technology, the options and strengths and weaknesses .......educating around filling vs sealing and other technical terms   Some content could focus on why teeth get yellow.....talk about the main causes eg tea/coffee, smoking, red wine....etc   Sensitive teeth: educate on why....how and what can be done   Root canal: educate on why......how and what can be done   ......same goes for other common procedures that the public don't understand   Using social media to point out problems(eg yellow teeth,crooked teeth,surveys on first impressions,likelihood of problems in 40's,rotting teeth>>>>bad breath) would also get people thinking.     ...and the big winner. I'm really not happy that this is the case but ladies particularly can receive a message much more clearly if it has a celebrity factor, for example a reference to a celeb......so use celebrity stories around teeth. Finding a celebrity with bad teeth would be virtually impossible so banging that home would be an angle.   I would suggest dental marketing should aim to encourage females to persuade their partner to come in rather than be too focused on marketing directly to men.   Chris: Excatly David because we all know the common mentality of men being that “If it aint broke don’t fix it” and men are notorious for putting off visits to the doctor or dentist simply due to the disruption to their routines and the inconvenience it causes them/us! Ok so that's touched on website and social media content as well as overall strategy what about enticing them to your brand.   David: Well Google is a massive referral agency....when we look to change dentists.   Facebook can be working the mind of the local area to position your dentist brand as ticking their boxes (competent, focused on the details, caring, value, convenient) while they mull over their current dentist vs you. As with all marketplaces it's about multiple touchpoints, keeping your brand in front of them consistently so the day they pull the trigger you are front and centre in their mind.   Chris: Now i know one of your favourite topics is talking about Average Customer Value in relation to what it's worth to spend to acquire a new customer.   David: Yes Chris it's a massive business issue. When a new customer walks in the door, what could they be worth in revenue terms to you? Obviously the guy that has been neglecting his teeth vs the lady who has been seeing a dentist 3 times a year, will offer completely different revenue opportunity. But the point is what is the average? Every dentist should be able to calculate it annually because it's simply gross revenue divided by number of patients served. My guess is here in Australia the figure for many dentists in middle class areas will be into 4 figures, ie over $1000 per annum. So on that basis i would suggest acquiring new customers for even as high as $200 each is a steal, as after a few years that average spend may well reach $5,000. I don't think for one second you would need to spend that much but this simple calculation allows you to make a decision that will likely work.   Chris: Yes i tried to research the figure of gross spend on Dentistry in Australia and divide it by about 20 million, which would still include lots of toddlers that don't see a dentist until they are 5 or 6.....but i couldn't find one that seemed to be reliable or that I would confidently quote as being accurate.   David: So Chris, now with your selling hat on what considerations would you make with a dental surgery to maximise revenue and work towards growing the business.   Chris:   One of my immediate thoughts David is how well the practice seeks to maximize the level of service and value to existing customers thereby increasing the revenue from their existing client base There is a difference between cross-selling, upselling and referral based business growth and they all come from providing the epitome of value-driven customer service. Cross-selling examples in dentistry could include selling toothbrushes as opposed to upselling which would be not just selling a toothbrush but the upselling from a plastic manual toothbrush to an electric toothbrush. Another great example which comes to mind being that I’ve been involved in rugby league for over 30 years is mouthguards as there is a major difference in the protection levels for teeth between a chemist-bought, mould-your-own cheaper version and I would always recommend the dentists professionally moulded version to the kids I coach – and I always STRONGLY recommend never taking the field without a mouthguard. (So relationships with local sporting clubs are another way to develop your client base, particularly rugby league and rugby union and also AFL, field hockey, boxing and any other contact sporting clubs.) And whilst this is a type of referral marketing, I believe the best opportunities for referral marketing are with the current patients at the time of a visit. There is always some type of research and information gathering conducted by the practice when a new patient visits for the first time, but I believe that consultation process could be expanded to include after-treatment consultation by a member of the practice staff skilled in patient care and customer service. I’ll give you some examples: I have full medical insurance so for me and my family regular visits for check-ups and cleans don’t cost anything outside of my monthly insurance premiums, so I attend regularly, as does my wife. However we also have children, three of whom are still living at home and covered by the same insurance policy, yet I haven’t been asked by my dental practice if I even have children (other than in a “by the way conversation whilst in the dental chair, which has obviously not been acted upon). So my thoughts are that part of the information gathering would be to ask about other family members and booking times for them to come in and visit the dentist – because as I said a moment ago – there is no financial burden as it’s already been paid. And that provides an appropriate angle to approach the question when gathering more information in the after-treatment consultation by simply using phrases like – “Do you believe you’re getting the most value-for-money from your private medical insurance?” Or “Considering you’re already paying for the coverage would you like to schedule your children for a check-up while you’re here?”   and that opens up other avenues to broaden the revenue base from existing patients to ask about other family members like siblings, parents, grandparents, friends etc. There can even be incentives offered for referrals, but there certainly doesn’t need to be if the whole culture of the practice is about providing the very best of dental care to their patients and everyone in the family and immediate circle of the patient. We ALL WANT to refer people we know to good practitioners as it feels good for us to recommend someone we know to a provider we trust, knowing that our friends and family will receive the very best of care. The same way we recommend a good restaurant or a good movie, we often can’t wait to find an opportunity to talk about it to friends. And it is possible to subtly train your patients to mention the “professional”, “comfortable” or “painless” experience if that is the major objection you receive from potential patients.     We can then begin to look at cross-referrals from other practitioners in the fields of GP’s, Orthodontists, Cosmetic surgeons, beauticians etc. which opens up another marketing field and helps position your clinic as the most professional and expert in the community. Because ideally you want to position your clinic somehow and what better way than to be thought of as the go-to clinic in your area?   Chris: Definitely food for thought David and some ideas worth pondering for the forward thinking clinics and practices. Well we hope you’ve enjoyed this episode of What Would We Do? It’s been very interesting putting our thoughts together and we appreciate you taking the time to listen.   David: If you’d like to find out more about us or perhaps get in touch to see how we can help you please go to www.whatwouldwedo.com.au
