🌅 Reframe the End of Summer

Feeling a little post-holiday flat? You’re not alone. But instead of mourning the end of summer, celebrate what it gave you – the laughs, the rest, the moments of peace, the sense of reconnection.

Try this mindset shift:

Don’t regret that it’s over. Smile because it happened.
Now ask: What intention will I carry forward?

🧠 This Month’s Training Focus: Wellbeing That Pays Off

Did you know that practices with active wellbeing programmes see:
✅ A 20% boost in productivity
✅ Fewer sick days
✅ Greater retention and job satisfaction
✅ Higher profits through better culture

This month we’ve been working hands-on with practice leaders to integrate wellbeing into everyday routines. The foundation? Our Essential Team Wellbeing Pack—a toolkit of 26 resources including:

• Audit frameworks
• Policy templates
• Team wellbeing calendars
• Posters and rewards
• Emotional regulation and feedback strategies

We’ve also been delivering live leadership training and coaching to help managers make wellbeing a living, breathing part of their culture.

📣 And yes… CQC now requires practices to demonstrate wellbeing initiatives—so if you haven’t started yet, this is your nudge.

🧩 Team Building That Actually Builds Teams

We’ve been preparing a special Team Building Day for Foundation Dentists—with energising games, fun challenges, and meaningful connection-building exercises that actually boost wellbeing and team cohesion.

So looking forward to delivering it this month!

✨ Looking for an alternative to the usual Christmas party? This kind of bonding creates lasting culture—and sets the tone for the whole year ahead.

📝 This Month’s Private Dentistry Feature: Tangibility

This month, my column focused on the Tangibility pillar of the NAIL-IT Leadership Model—where performance meets action.

We introduced a simple but powerful framework:

Aim. Act. Attain.

✔ Aim – Set clear, meaningful objectives that align with your values and long-term vision
✔ Act – Take strategic, consistent steps, even when motivation dips
✔ Attain – Measure progress, celebrate the wins, and course-correct where needed

Whether you’re looking to achieve your goals more easily and conssitently, grow your practice, retain your team —tangible results come from intentional action. You can read more in the September issue of Private Dentistry.
