<p class="p2">This week, Amanda and Sarah dive into one of the most important (but often overlooked) keys to running a thriving dental practice—CULTURE. Whether you’re a dentist, office manager, or the MVP at the front desk, your office culture sets the tone for everything: hiring, teamwork, patient experience, and even that vibe when you walk in on a Monday morning.</p> <p class="p1"><strong>In this episode, we cover:</strong></p> <ul> <li> <p class="p1">What “culture” really means in a dental office (hint: it’s not just about pizza parties!)</p> </li> <li> <p class="p1">How your reputation in the dental community follows you—and why that matters</p> </li> <li> <p class="p1">The biggest red flags (watch out for high turnover, gossip, and that “not my job” mentality)</p> </li> <li> <p class="p1">The green flags you want to see, like team longevity, open communication, and a little laughter in the breakroom</p> </li> <li> <p class="p1">Practical ways for practice managers and owners to be true culture architects (yes, you!)</p> </li> <li> <p class="p1">Real talk on why free food is not a long-term fix—and what actually makes people stay</p> </li> <li> <p class="p1">Tips for building respect across every role in the practice</p> </li> <li> <p class="p1">Amanda and Sarah’s favorite quick wins, from handwritten notes to simply doing a lap and checking in</p> </li> </ul> <p class="p1"><strong>You’ll also hear:</strong></p> <ul> <li> <p class="p1">Why it’s worth writing down your culture goals (SOPs for your vibes, anyone?)</p> </li> <li> <p class="p1">The power of small gestures (like a surprise cake pop or a Venmo for Friday fries)</p> </li> <li> <p class="p1">How to create a workspace that’s professional AND fun—no BFFs required, but mutual respect is a must</p> </li> </ul> <p class="p1"><strong>Takeaways:</strong></p> <ul> <li> <p class="p1">Culture starts at the top, but everyone plays a part</p> </li> <li> <p class="p1">Small acts of recognition mean more than you think</p> </li> <li> <p class="p1">Investing in your team’s happiness pays off in loyalty, performance, and a practice people actually want to join</p> </li> </ul> <p class="p1"><strong>Ready to make your dental office the place everyone wants to work?</strong></p> <p class="p2">Hit play and let’s build a happier, healthier practice—one honest conversation at a time.</p> <p class="p1"><strong>Don’t forget:</strong></p> <p class="p2">Subscribe, leave us a review, and follow us:</p> <p class="p2">Instagram: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/breathofreshairdentalpodcast">https://www.instagram.com/breathofreshairdentalpodcast</a></p> <p class="p2">Facebook: <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/people/Breath-of-Fresh-Air-Dental-Podcast/61555140393298/?_rdr"> https://www.facebook.com/people/Breath-of-Fresh-Air-Dental-Podcast/61555140393298/?_rdr</a> </p> <p class="p2">Email us: [email protected]</p>
