I admire David Hepworth as a writer and commentator, I still miss The Word which he and Mark Ellen ran for nearly a decade. I never thought that I would share one of his blog postings on this site but he nails it, as does Lucy Kellaway in her FT piece (sadly behind a paywall).Continue reading ““No point hiring image consultants if your own receptionist is letting you down” says David Hepworth.”

The Monday Morning Quote #311
“Live as if you were living already for the second time and as if you had acted the first time as wrongly as you are about to act now!” Vicktor Frankl in Man’s Search for Meaning
Leading by Instinct – Kathy Kolbe spells it out.
This posting is from Kathy Kolbe’s blog dated October 6th 2014 – for some reason I missed out on it first time round. One of the things that I explain to people about Kolbe is that there is no right or wrong. I was recently dismayed to read a posting from another dental coach, whoContinue reading “Leading by Instinct – Kathy Kolbe spells it out.”
Indemnity Fees – Where Is The Ceiling? – Audio
Alun explores some of the contributors to the perfect storm that have led to large rises in dental indemnity fees in the UK.
Indemnity Fees – Where Is The Ceiling?
I have a client who has been qualified as a dentist for 30 years. He is skilled, dedicated, talented and knowledgeable. I would happily be his patient if the need arose. He accepts referrals from other practitioners for endodontics, implants and tricky restorative cases. He has recently completed an M.Sc. in Endodontics and is currentlyContinue reading “Indemnity Fees – Where Is The Ceiling?”
The Weekend Read – Selling the Invisible by Harry Beckwith
A classic. Written as series of bite sized chapters emphasising good (and bad) habits, Beckwith lays down the easy to follow rules for success in marketing and branding. The format means that it’s easy to dip into for regular inspiration and at the same provokes one to think, “how would that work for me?” AsContinue reading “The Weekend Read – Selling the Invisible by Harry Beckwith”
DLD15 – The Four Horsemen: Amazon/Apple/Facebook & Google–Who Wins/Loses (Scott Galloway)
If you have even a passing interest in future trends in media, retail and more, watch this video – and then watch it again. Scott Galloway is a star if only for the fact that he admits to getting things wrong.
The Weekend Read – The E-myth Revisited by Michael Gerber
I first read this book in February 2001 and my reaction was, “how did I survive for so long without this knowledge?”. The answer of course was, “at great cost both financially and emotionally”, so whilst I had learnt a lot of Michael Gerber’s lessons I did so painfully and slowly. This is a bookContinue reading “The Weekend Read – The E-myth Revisited by Michael Gerber”
The Monday Morning Quote #296
“I do not seek to follow in the footsteps of men of old; I seek the things that they sought.” Matsuo Basho (b 1644)
The Weekend Read – The Checklist Manifesto by Atul Gawande
Another book to which I was introduced by my brother, both Rees boys are hungry readers. I thought that I had featured it here already but it has either been edited away or my brain is willing me to have done so. What has brought Atul Gawande back to mind is that he is thisContinue reading “The Weekend Read – The Checklist Manifesto by Atul Gawande”
