Could believing you can control every outcome in your life and business do more harm than good? Join me, Dr. Paul Etchison, as I share a deeply personal story about my daughter's struggle with anxiety in competitive cheerleading and how it mirrors the challenges of managing a dental practice. We'll explore the concept of extreme ownership and its impact on both personal and professional realms, delving into self-doubt, mental blocks, and anxiety's effect on performance. Learn how addressing these issues can lead to better outcomes and a more balanced approach to life and leadership.

In the second part of the episode, we navigate the complex journey of managing employee turnover over 12 years in a dental practice. From the early days of minimal turnover due to life events to the post-COVID "firing phase" and the challenging "exodus" phase, I'll share my reflections on balancing accountability with self-compassion. We'll question the effectiveness of an internal locus of control and determine how to maintain a positive work environment despite inevitable changes. Stay tuned for a major announcement from DPH that you won't want to miss!
