Welcome to What I Wish I Knew by Dental Head Start. This is a podcast where we learn from people that have been there, made the mistakes, learnt the lessons and have developed into the accomplished dental professionals they are today.
It’s your weekly mentoring session.
Hosted by Dr Cigdem Kipel
As a dentist, you can’t be everything for everyone. Most of us learn this the hard way.
On this podcast, Dr Alistair Graham shares with us the value he gained from narrowing his career path and skill set in dentistry.
Determining the kind of dentist he wanted to be allowed him to focus his efforts and concentrate his skill development in the areas of dentistry that were right for him. Today, he and his team have absolute clarity on the kind of patient they want to attract to their clinic and as a result, they only perform the kind of dentistry they love. This is by design.
He explores the decision making process that every dentist has to go through to gain focus in their own career and determine the path that’s right for them.
