Feedback from attendees of our previous courses
Focus4Growth Academies have been designed to provide the three things that are key to high performance and your success, the optimal Psychology, Skills and Systems.
Psychology underpins performance.
Understanding how our mind works to either empower us or undermine us, creates power! When we’re on default our mind doesn’t help us unlock our real potential. Positive psychology is used by the highest performers in every field, athletes, business leaders, high performance teams, millions more. We start with the principles of a growth mindset, once you direct your mind your performance follows.
The Right Skills, unlock the next level.
When you’re having patient consultations there are communication skills that are more influential and persuasive than others and it’s not always obvious. Through our academy we learn to develop and sharpen the right skills and how to take a consultative approach to patient conversations. Too often dentists rely on simply ‘telling’ patients about treatment options, there’s a better way to manage consultations, we develop the highest impact skills one at a time.
The System, gets consistent results.
Successful communicators use a structured approach. They know when to ask a question, when to summarise, when to powerfully position a solution and when to ask for commitment. Get the right stages of a consultation in the right order and it begins to feel effortless for you and your patient. Get it wrong and it feels clunky, disconnected and awkward, for you and your patient. We use the INSPIRe model, it’s a step by step, easy to apply guide to masterful consultations, that work time and time again. It helps you stop pitching to your patients, and start inspiring them!,

The book provides a step-by-step training programme accessible for anyone wishing to excel in sales at any stage of their business career. It is an inspiring read and filled with practical tips designed to optimise outcomes in ethical sales techniques that will bring personal and professional rewards.”
Louis Mackenzie
Head Dental Officer at Denplan
“This book is a fantastic tool for those looking at how best to engage with patients and grow your list or practice through good communication. Justin covers a number of methods that we need to consider, that we are simply not taught at dental school.
However, these methods are not just to increase case acceptance but also can be used to reduce complaints and dento-legal issues as it’s all about communication. Justin correctly highlights that you should NOT pitch to your patient, intead he shows a really thorough walk through of aspects seasoned clinicians have found works best for them. Good insightful read and with the added workbook links, this is a must get for the aspiring clinician.”

Advanced Dental Surgeon and BACD President, 2021/22.
