Facilitator/Moderator:
Scott McDonald provides facilitator services to companies and industry associations. The bottom line is to get appropriate input, make decisions, and provide a framework for them to be executed. There is a line that one must walk to ensure no one dominates the discussion, that egos are not unduly bruised and that the agenda is covered within the time available. more >>
Where to Put A Practice:
It is a simple issue. Almost every dentist has to face it at one time or another. Where is the best place to put a practice? This program deals with the information professionals need to know to decide on the best site for their practices.

Mind Games:
You only THINK you know why people do what they do. Research has shown that there is much more than meets the eye when it comes to how people make decisions. Everyone is in the business of people. Employers, salesmen, marketing professionals, healthcare providers, EVERYONE is in the business of reading the wants and needs of other people. They must influence others to accept recommendations, buy products and services, pay bills and, sometimes, just show up.   more >>
Handling Complaints and Difficult People:
Complaints are like death and taxes: you can always count on them. This course will help people in customer relations, sales, and management to learn the art and science of handling complaints and turning them to their advantage. more >>
Communicating Diagnosis Effectively:
This program will provide doctors and their staff specific instruction on how to help them communicate persuasively with patients and each other. This will facilitate follow-through, collections, treatment plan acceptance, and interpersonal communications of all types. It was originally created as a means to help doctors avoid patient and staff conflicts pro-actively. This is sometimes necessary to avoid problems which can become law-suits and peer review cases. By taking a scientific and reasoned approach to interpersonal commu­nications, everyone in the office will benefit.
