Episode Synopsis
In today’s Real Dental Podcast episode, host Jon Harris engages in a lively conversation with his colleagues from the Mid South branch of Fortune Management, Carrie Cahill and Jocelyn Jeffries.

Carrie Cahill dives into doctors’ willingness to learn team dynamics and basic coaching structures. She explains that during her time as an executive coach, she has come across many doctors who are unwilling to change their ways and improve their communication skills. Carrie delves into why doctors are so hesitant for change and offers reasoning for why being trained as a life coach is beneficial to the overall structure of your practice.

It is extremely important for a doctor to want to change their communication and listening patterns before hiring an executive life coach. Carrie shares her favorite question to ask any client: Do you want to change? Jocelyn explains how she always sets the pre framework for a doctor before diving into the coaching aspect of her job.
Tune into this week's episode of the Real Dental Podcast with guests Carrie Cahill and Jocelyn Jeffries to find out how to become a masterful coach. Learn more about asking powerful questions, accepting change, and getting curious about others’ opinions.
Quotes
• “I think part of it is the doctor’s willingness and ability to coach when we're not present. So their level of the team’s receptiveness, their ability to translate it into the day-to-day, that falls on the doctor. So, if the doctor is not able to do that and actually become a coach in real life, then it is a natural disconnection of the team.” (07:46-08:20 | Carrie)
• “It's with communication that doctors are refusing to make the shift with themselves.” (09:48-09:55 | Carrie)
• “I mean, we can change and should change our approach based on the team. But at the end of the day, it comes down to the doctor.” (10:27-10:36 | Carrie)
• “Coaching is about taking the time to get to know people and figuring out if they are reachable.” (23:01-23:07 | Jocelyn)
• “We coach our doctors on how to choose their patients, how to bring the patients in that they want coming into their practice. And sometimes we kind of need to do that as coaches too.” (37:27-37:41 | Jocelyn)
• “I really think that the true strength and a sign of a good coach is always asking really good questions.” (43:40-43:50 | Carrie)
• “As long as we are coming from a good place and from the right place, then we don't ever have to walk away and say, ‘I did something wrong.’” (47:50-48:02 | Jocelyn)
• “If you have a team that's struggling with trust, pick the ones that trust you least and sit down and have a conversation with them.” (1:20:04-1:20:12 | Carrie)
