She notes the difference between how those that lead an organization and the key players in the organization think about goals. This can be due to a \u201clanguage barrier\u201d\u2014that is, that the organization says one thing, the doctors say another thing, and although everybody thinks they&#8217;re being clear, they&#8217;re not. The way around all of these issues is the ability for all stakeholders in the organization to hear opinions and concerns with an open mind.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Improving Mental Health and Avoiding Burnout: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Firstly, Chelsea stresses that prevention is better than cure. She says that the organizations that are proactive and put things in place are the ones that have the best approach. In terms of the strategies for counteracting burnout and mental health issues, Chelsea says that fostering a culture of openness and encouraging people to speak up about the problems they\u2019re facing is the best way to get the help they need.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Coaches versus Managers: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chelsea highlights the importance of managers that also act as coaches. Citing team members that complain that they are led by people that are indirect or unapproachable, Chelsea says it\u2019s vital to provide support for leaders that have never had experience of being coached or mentored. She compares this to parenting, suggesting that your style of parenting is based on what support structure you had. In most cases, the ability to coach and mentor successfully is not inherent\u2014it\u2019s a learned skill.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The Value of Self-Awareness: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the people Chelsea works with are all intelligent people, a large proportion of them are unable to check in with their feelings; she says that many \u201cdon&#8217;t actually know what they&#8217;re thinking and feeling.\u201d This is why Chelsea recommends setting aside some time to identify how you\u2019re feeling, and really get a deeper understanding of what emotions are at play, whether that\u2019s frustration, fear, anxiety, or even happiness\u2014Chelsea even puts this reflection time in her schedule.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Like and subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/the-dental-economist-show\/id1725109317\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Apple Podcasts<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/2GG6pL2h3sSuoWYmPWDCKw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spotify<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.bcast.fm\/the-dental-economist-show\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bCast<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this episode of The Dental Economist Show, host Mike Huffaker is joined by Chelsea Myers, Founder and CEO of Dental Life Coach.
