Solutions to Generational Friction
Lisa Copeland, RDH, CSP, CVP
The key to cultivating a passionate team is a generational perception. The Generational Friction Factor is real and influencing the dynamics of your team’s success. Each generation, team and patents, measures everything against their own language, perceptions, and work value. According to the US Census Bureau, the Gen Z cohort (age 4 – early 20’s) are currently entering the work environment and becoming patients in your practice. Gen Z will change dentistry – so be the practice that is ready for it. They are the first cohort that are digital natives, never knowing life without technology, and will move on if they don’t immediately see what they are looking for on your website and social media platforms. To help them bridge the divide and flourish, Lisa educates leaders and team members about the value of recognizing and addressing generational differences. Her 4-G Concept instructs audiences how to spot generational markers or signs, and then offers simple yet powerful ways to reduce or even eliminate friction points that are particularly damaging to the team, patients, and bottom line. Attendees will be given the tools that positively improve issues around patient scheduling, optimized care, and stagnant or declining production. How we communicate cross-generationally impacts our bottom line. Build a dental practice that speaks each generational language and meets their expectations now to guarantee future practice growth!

Upon completion of this presentation, participants should be able to: 1) cultivate a generationally perceptive team; 2) enhance and build relationships of trust using customized language tactics; 3) recognize how disregarding generational stereotypes can create a better patient experience; and 4) explore how to attract new Gen Z patients and employees.
