Are You a Preacher, Prosecutor, or Politician?

August 8, 2022 By Mary Osborne Leave a Comment

I have been reading about the communication styles “Preacher, Prosecutor, and Politician” in Adam Grant’s book, “Think Again.” I quickly realized that I frequently observed those behaviors in discussions. It took me a little longer to realize that I had in fact exhibited all of those behaviors. In this sense Preacher, Prosecutor and Politician are … Read More »

What Systems Are You Talking About?

February 10, 2015 By Mary Osborne 2 Comments

It’s good to hear conversations in dentistry about the Oral Systemic Connection. For those of us who have always seen the body as an elegant, fully integrated, balanced system this is good news. At my annual physical when my internist asks me if I floss my teeth I smile. Too often it seems that doctors — and patients — … Read More »

New Workshop

I could not be more excited to invite you to attend our new IN-PERSON workshop, “A Team Approach to Whole Health Dentistry,” November 4-5, 2022, in Seattle. I have thought and planned for this workshop for some time and it  finally became a reality last October. The experience was powerful and deeply satifying.

If you bring your whole self to your work to care for the whole person who sits in your chair, you won’t  want to miss this opportunity to learn together with other like minded practices in a spirit of collaboration. Click here to learn more and register

 

Testimonials

For all of the Institutes, technical courses and workshops, it was not until I began studying with Mary that the actual application of my skills exploded. You do not need to learn how to do more dentistry. You need to learn how to GET to do more dentistry. That’s Mary.
Michael J MelkersDDS, FAGDHanover, NH
Thank you so much for providing a great environment for learning this hard stuff. I love this community of people who care so much about their work and its influence on the world.
Dr. Rob JostCalgary, Alberta, Canada
“It was hands down the best continuing education class I have ever attended, and truly an amazing experience for me. You were inspirational! I realized that my job as a dental hygienist really matters! I can truly make a difference in the lives of my patients.”
Maggie Ashton, R.D.H.Seattle, WA
As I progressed on my CE journey my clinical skills were getting better and better, but my communication was not up to par. Whenever I questioned mentors about where I needed to go they all had the same answer: Mary Osborne. She teaches communications techniques that are truly from the heart and that have helped me clarify my vision and my role in the practice. A truly exceptional lady. –
Dr. Terri PukanichSlave Lake, Alberta, Canada
Reflecting on how much I have learned , not just about patient care but more importantly about myself during the time we have spent together. . . . As I reviewed many of the journals and re-read article from over the years, I forgot just how much I have learned. You have been a great coach, mentor and friend for me.
Dr. Murray KnebelCalgary, Alberta, Canada
