Bailey: Best-selling author and international speaker Webinar: Releasing Leadership Brilliance- How to Empathize, Engage, and Elevate your Culture

Stale. Stuck. Spiritless. This is what a leader, then a team, and ultimately a business becomes when mojo is lost. For leaders to ignite a fresh mindset that enables a team and a business to thrive, they must stop simply communicating and start connecting.

The connection begins when leaders make a commitment to bring out the best in themselves and everyone around them. This challenges team members to raise their engagement and productivity. The ultimate benefactors of this shift in thinking are customers who opt-in to become your brand champions.

Upon completion of this experience, learning participants will emerge with a plan of action to:  Revitalize their role within their team and line of business  Improve their ability to connect with their team instead of just communicating  Create a high-performing team that exceeds expectations

Breakfast and Lunch (one room or move rooms for lunch)- snacks in the am or in the pm $3500 A/V equipment Honorium Dr. Elizabeth Bakeman, Private Practice Grand Rapids, MI Live Lectures: Occlusion and treatment planning 1. Occlusion – Diagnosis-Driven Management (Half Day) Have you ever wondered why a patient who faithfully wears a night guard still finds their teeth wearing and their restorations chipping? Why do some people have wear on both their anterior and posterior teeth and other people just exhibit wear on their anterior teeth and the posterior teeth remain unchanged? Why some areas of wear flat and other areas involve cupping of the dentin? This course will address these questions and more. By discussing the four functional diagnoses which every dentist should be familiar and the different treatment approaches that are required to assure long-term success dentists will become better equipped to incorporate occlusion into their diagnosis and treatment protocols.

Learning Objectives:  Understand the various functional diagnoses and how they relate to risk and prognosis  Learn treatment approaches that manage or reduce functional risk and improve longterm prognosis  Recognize the variety of factors that contribute to tooth wear 2. “Maximizing Success by Minimizing Risk” (Half Day) The increasing amount of information that practitioners are required to assimilate when establishing a diagnosis and developing a treatment plan brings with it an increasing amount of complexity for both practitioners and their patients. Formulating treatment decisions based on what is truly important to the long-term success of treatment can at times be daunting. Striving to eliminate the weak links to long-term success helps to establish priorities when making treatment-planning decisions. Patients need to understand the need for treatment as well as the importance of addressing parameters such as periodontal disease or functional concerns which are not currently impacting their lives, but could eventually impact treatment success.

In the development of a treatment plan, skilled clinicians must balance the increasing demands to address their patients’ chief complaints with the interdisciplinary information and knowledge gathered to establish an accurate diagnosis. A successful result ultimately depends on a multidimensional, diagnostically driven triage system, which strives to increase benefit and reduce risk across the range of parameters upon which the diagnosis was based.

Course Objectives:  To graph risk and prognosis as a visual aid in developing a treatment plan.  To incorporate all functional and physiologic factors that can affect long term prognosis, to narrow the restorative compromises that inherently engineer themselves into a case  To recognize the need to make use of a variety of disciplines, so as to move treatment toward reducing or minimizing risk and thereby increase the probability of a successful longterm result.

Your message is wasted if you are unable to lend it the full force of your Transformational Presence-your ability to be so fully present, awake and alive, that you deeply affect others by your mere presence.

As a leader, you can’t afford to let fear or hesitation diminish your Transformational Presence (defined as, “a person’s ability to deeply transform and affect others by being genuinely and passionately present”). You can’t risk undermining your unique gifts, and your ultimate impact on the world and people around you. Great actors understand this. That’s why they use techniques that fan the flame of their Transformational Presence, so that they can be relaxed, authentic and vibrantly alive, even under immense pressure to perform. They know that when they stand fully in their Transformational Presence, the reward is great: An unforgettable performance that elicits trust and engagement, and moves people into feeling, thought, and action.

In this motivational, interactive and content-rich presentation, Eleni Kelakos shares the five Presence Principles that helped her rekindle and maintain her own Transformational Presence

so she could maximize her potential as a young actress in New York City and Hollywood. Her story—and the techniques and insights she’s gathered through her ongoing work as a presence and presentation skills coach and trainer—will inspire you to lead with greater courage, commitment, and confidence.

Webinar: Team Treatment Planning with Dr. Michael Cohen INTERDISCIPLINARY TREATMENT PLANNING WORKSHOP WITH DR. MICHAEL COHEN This two-hour treatment-planning workshop will focus on complex case management of an anterior esthetic dilemma. Study club members will be able to share their treatment planning ideas with each other before comparing with those of two "expert" teams.

General practitioners and specialists alike are free to test their diagnostic acumen and treatment planning skills. The result is the ability to discuss diagnosis and treatment options with peers in a non-threatening environment. Ultimately, each member becomes more comfortable in the planning process, sequencing of certain treatment options while honing their case presentation skills during this two-credit hour interactive evening program.

Learning Objectives for Interdisciplinary Treatment Planning Workshop • Develop treatment plans to utilize an interdisciplinary approach.

• Identify the proper diagnosis to drive treatment options.
