Practice Coaching: Frequently asked questions

Are there different coaching options or just one program?

Most doctors have practices that are the result of implementing a variety of self-taught management strategies and systems over the years. That results in a functioning practice, but rarely in an optimal practice.

  

Practice coaching is a single all-inclusive program focused on integrating and improving every aspect of the practice to a highly effective and professionalized level. Nothing is overlooked: administration, scheduling, marketing, finances, team dynamics, clinical efficiency and more. It’s comprehensive, thorough and completely customized to your goals, team and practice.

How soon will I see results when I begin coaching?

It depends on what you define as results. If you mean “improvement” then it is highly likely that you will start to see better results as soon as 4 to 6 weeks. If you mean “reach all goals”, then it usually takes longer for all the coaching strategies to be implemented and achieve full effect. Big goals (like doubling your income) obviously take longer than small goals.

 

Most doctors want their investment in coaching to be worthwhile, and we encourage doctors to articulate and strive for their ideal vision. For this reason, coaching is a 12-month commitment that can be renewed each year. That creates the framework so we can really dig in with your team, work closely with you, adapt and refine strategies and systems for your practice, and ensure everything is effectively generating the results needed to achieve your short and long-term goals.

How can I be certain my practice is ready for coaching?

Doctors often over-obsess about limitations they perceive in their practices and how it could diminish coaching success. However, we are experienced in working with every kind of practice and team challenge. Endo Mastery does not have any “red flags” that automatically disqualify a practice from coaching.

  

We can work with any endodontic practice at any stage. We have clients ranging from brand new startup practices by young doctors, to established mid-career doctors, to doctors approaching retirement. We have solo doctor and group practice clients, multi-location practices, practices with, without and planning for associates or transitions, etc. 

 

Plus, we offer a moneyback guarantee that your coaching investment will pay off by double. So, practice coaching really is a no-risk opportunity that every doctor can take advantage of.

Achieving career and family balance

CYNTHIA STAMATION

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

Most people spend more time at work than they do on any other single activity except for sleeping. That means there is a lot of life that must happen in the time left over from practicing. If the practice takes so much time that it causes sacrifices in your family and life, the stress can take a huge toll.

 

Many endodontists, while recognizing that their practices are essential to earn a professional income, experience work/life pressure. Common symptoms that we often see in doctors who reach out to us for coaching include:

  • Not being able to leave at the end of the day with the team in order to complete reports and management tasks, or having to bring work home to do in the evenings.
  • Frequently missing family mealtime in the evenings, having little time to spend with children/family after work, and sometimes no time when getting home after children have gone to bed.
  • Feeling preoccupied about practice and team issues all the time, which interferes with being present and enjoying life outside the practice.
  • Stress over finances makes doctors feel trapped, pushes them to work more than they would like to, and limit vacation time to just a few weeks each year.
  • Persistent feelings of mental and/or physical exhaustion at the end of each day.

Female breadwinner syndrome

While all doctors can feel unbalanced in work/life factors, female doctors are more likely to experience imbalance more intensely, especially if they have children at home.

  

A 2023 Pew Research Study confirms what we always knew: in homes where both marital partners earn similar incomes and even when the female spouse is the primary breadwinner, women spend significantly more of their non-work time devoted to caregiving and housework than men.

  

Especially for mothers of young children, it sets up a potential work/family conflict between income roles vs. maternal roles. With even less time to unwind, de-stress and enjoy leisure than their male partners, female professionals can quickly feel overloaded and burnt out.

Winning the game of life

Regardless of personal vision and values, the fundamental mechanics of modern life come down to time and money. When we have both abundant time and abundant economics, we feel the liberty and flexibility to follow our passions and dreams.

 

Financial pressure is the #1 killer of our sense of self-directed choices. If doctors feel constrained or stressed financially, it is hard to escape the mindset that you need to be working even more and even harder. We must keep our economic engine running to fund the cashflow needs in our life.

  

What changes the work/life dilemma is when you learn how to be more successful in your practice while spending less time in your practice. With practice coaching, you can master a higher level of productivity and earn much more income in less time. That translates to fewer hours per day and fewer days per year while your income increases substantially.

  

Building a practice that supports your life without overwhelming your life is partly practice systems, partly team delegation, and partly marketing. Endo Mastery’s coaching strategies are specifically designed to achieve this goal: improved productivity with less stress and time for the doctor. We love when the doctor is the first to leave at the end of each day.

  

We call it effortless endodontics and creating a lifestyle practice that is free from work/life sacrifices. We can help any doctor on that journey to an incredible life. Contact us to discuss your goals.
