The Sustainable Practice

 

THE SUSTAINABLE PRACTICE

“Coaching of dental teams, participating in practice owner meetings, and my background in behavioral science created the ideal conditions for a mindset shift and methodology I feel compelled to share.”
— Kim Bettie

Creating the Ideal Conditions for an Epiphany

Fourteen years ago, I took what I thought would be a short-term job, but it became a turning point in my career. Through that experience, I discovered a passion for helping people in dentistry and other healthcare fields who, like me, believe in a holistic, whole-body approach to wellness. Over the years, I've noticed a recurring pattern: many of us are so driven by our purpose and commitment to caring for patients that we sometimes forget to extend that same care to ourselves and each other.

A Micro-Masterclass for Practice Owners and Dental Teams 

I've created a micro-masterclass for purpose-driven practices, based on behavioral science research and firsthand knowledge. It's an invitation to consider a mindset shift in patient engagement, team dynamics, and the well-being of everyone involved in providing care. I also welcome colleagues who train, coach, or consult with dental practices to explore how we might collaborate to support the practices you serve. This system is designed for dental practices, with applications that are adaptable to other healthcare settings.

Invitation to Join the Early Adopter Pilot Program

We're currently inviting a small cohort of dental practices to participate in a 90-day Early Adopter Pilot Program. Together, we'll implement the Sustainable Practice methodology, develop practical communication and patient engagement skills, and track selected measures of patient engagement, team experience, and practice performance. Our goal is to measure what happens, learn from the experience, and explore how a more sustainable, person-centered approach may benefit both patients and the people providing their care.

A Collaborative Approach With Your Current Consultant or Coach

Already working with a practice consultant or coach? That's fantastic! Many consultants provide valuable guidance on business strategy, financial performance, operations, and practice growth. The Sustainable Practice methodology complements that work by focusing on the people responsible for bringing those strategies to life. We help practices bridge the gap between knowing what needs to change and making those changes part of everyday practice, with an emphasis on team well-being, patient engagement, and sustainable performance. Rather than replacing your existing consultant or coach, we welcome opportunities to collaborate in support of your practice's goals.

Explore the Mindset Shift and Methodology

Please feel free to share this page with practice owners, practitioners, team leaders, or colleagues who might find this approach valuable.


The Sustainable Practice Micro- Masterclass: A Mindset Shift + Methodology Reveal

I know your time is incredibly valuable, which is why I’ve compressed this entire paradigm shift into an 8-minute mini-masterclass. I’ve also broken this video into distinct chapters right here on the video player.
