Insight of the Month: Change Starts with Clarity
One of the most powerful shifts you can make in your practice is giving each team member crystal-clear focus. As coaches, we consistently see the same challenge in offices across the country: everyone is trying to do everything—which often means no one is truly responsible for anything.
When priorities are vague, accountability fades. And when accountability fades, performance stalls.
December is a great time to pause and reflect: Does every team member know exactly what they are responsible for each day? Not just a general role—but their daily top priorities?
When everyone knows their lane—and is empowered to own it—your practice becomes more productive, more collaborative, and far less stressful.
Success Story - Transforming Practices
Dr. Jakob Taylor, owner of True Wellness Integrated Medicine in Chattanooga, TN, is a powerful example of what can happen when a team focuses on aligned goals.
Since working together in 2022, his practice has continued to grow and evolve to serve more patients with greater impact. Dr. Taylor is deeply committed to team development, clear communication, and intentional planning—all of which have contributed to his ongoing success.
Here's what he had to say about the value of our annual planning process:
"Dental Coaches even helped us prep all of our goals ahead of time at the end of 2022 to get us ready for 2023. They are absolutely the best at helping you develop and understand efficiency, scheduling, and training with your team."
Whether you're in dentistry or another patient-focused field, Dr. Taylor’s success shows how powerful it is when your team understands their role, tracks to a goal, and works in sync.

Did you know?
Multitasking kills productivity.
According to the American Psychological Association, switching between tasks can reduce productivity by up to 40%.
When dental teams juggle too many responsibilities without clear systems, productivity—and patient care—suffers.

We’re here to help you create clarity, boost accountability, and set your team up for a productive and fulfilling year.
