HOW the Module Works

the Persuasive Professional is a self development book; this module is used to kick-start the process byhelping people understand how they as individuals can use it as is applicable to them - their personality and job role.

An Example 2 hour Agenda

• introductions, CPD Objectives, H&S, programme content and style

personalised for 4 to 6 delegates to kick-start a self development process

• issue of "The Persuasive Professional"; round table introductory discussion on each delegate's perceived priorities

A module based on Rick Whitehead's book "The Persuasive Professional", written for anyone who, needs to influence, motivate and persuade others - and the more effectively they do this, the more successful they will be.

• "group therapy" for each delegate to truly accept what her/his own priorities  are - for learning and developing in order to HELP patients

• people will be persuaded if they can accept new information and advice from someone they instinctively believe - a dental professional SHOULD be that person - IF they don't project as condescending or "telling"!

• discussion to "buddy-up" delegates based on their priorities

• in pairs discuss and agree the situations they need to prioritise

• open forum on different chapters in the book as time allows; agreement on how Rick will follow up to help delegates

• introduction to "Experiential Profiling for Persuasive Professionals" and individual completion of exercises on page 3 of the book

Who will be more successful - a dentist who is good clinically AND charming, persuasive and loved by patients  or a dentist who is more brilliant clinically, but is brusque with staff and uses language patients don't understand?
