Course Title:

Harmony in Practice: An NVC (Non-Violent Communication) Approach to Resolving Dental Office Conflicts for MDIBs

Course Description:

In this course, we will be uncovering the root causes of conflict, the pivotal steps that can be used to course-correct, and the “how-to” of setting up a foundation for a professional relationship that’s ripe for growth and understanding.

Course Objectives:

Building strong connections, excellent communication and conflict resolution skills eliminates costly attrition by staff, enhances patient connection and is essential to building a strong office culture.
⁠Recognize that conflict is an opportunity for personal and professional growth, and focus on understanding others' perspectives to foster mutual respect and cooperative solutions.
In a medical environment, maintain a level-headed approach to reduce conflicts, strengthen emotional resilience, and lead by example in conflict resolution.
Embrace your role as a leader and role model in society, using your influence to inspire positive change, wisdom, and effective communication.
