Monday Morning Motivation | Heart Optional
Posted by Bill Esteb on Nov 18th 2023
How might your team member at the front desk answer when asked by a friend, "What do you do at that chiropractic practice?"
"I show up on time."
"I answer the phone."
"I do what I'm told."
"I try not to make waves."
"I keep my head down."
"I'm just killing time."
"I'm looking for a better job."
Yikes!
Hopefully, it's more along the lines of...
"I make sure our patients are comfortable."
"I show interest in the lives of each patient."
"I anticipate what the doctor might need."
"I share my enthusiasm about chiropractic."
"I help create remarkable experiences."
"I supply hope and provide encouragement."
"I inspire our patients about possibilities."
Same desk. Same computer. Same practice.
Does your team show up to merely fill a position? Or will they bring their hearts too?
It's the difference between a job with a paycheck, or a career that's a calling.
