Practicing Solutions
 
       Detour Sign 
 
 
Situation: 
 
Whenever I suggest or introduce something new to my team I meet with resistance.  How do I get my team excited and on board with change?
 
 
Solution: 
 
Steps to resolution:
 
Change is difficult. It is human nature to fear change because we are uncertain how it will affect us. Employees often resist change because they are concerned that they will lose power or control or are unsure of how to accomplish the change.
 
First, it is imperative to explain your reasons for wanting to make the change.  The benefits to the patients and the practice, which result in benefits to them.  Next, give your team the tools they need to feel confident to implement the new idea, system or protocol.  Without explanation there should be no expectation! 
 
Have a team meeting to introduce and discuss your new idea, system or protocol.  It is important to allow adequate time to discuss in detail.  How will it look and feel in your practice.  Who does what, when, where, why, and how. Define the roles together as a team.  Create a step-by-step action plan including time lines.  Practice verbal skills, role-playing and the entire walk through before you ever implement it with your patients.  This will allow the team to work through any difficulties. 
 
Practicing empowers your team to feel confident to implement the new idea, system or protocol. 
Everyone now knows what to say and do because they are prepared. They aren't in a situation in which they have to think on their feet.  The communication and interaction is natural and comfortable because they have practiced and are confident.
 
While asking employees to change may be greeted with resistance, providing them with the benefits and the tools to succeed will go a long way in making the change process exciting and positive rather than frightening and negative.

First Impressions
 
I would like to share an excerpt from "The Strangest Secret" by Earl Nightingale.

George Bernard Shaw said, "People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are." I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, they make them."

Well, it's pretty apparent, isn't it? And every person who discovered this believed (for a while) that he was the first one to work it out. We become what we think about!

Conversely, the person who has no goal, who doesn't know where he's going, and whose thoughts must therefore be thoughts of confusion, anxiety and worry - his life becomes one of frustration, fear, anxiety and worry. And if he thinks about nothing... he becomes nothing.

How does it work? Why do we become what we think about? Well, I'll tell you how it works, as far as we know. To do this, I want to tell you about a situation that parallels the human mind.

Suppose a farmer has some land, and it's good, fertile land. The land gives the farmer a choice; he may plant in that land whatever he chooses. The land doesn't care. It's up to the farmer to make the decision.

We're comparing the human mind with the land because the mind, like the land, doesn't care what you plant in it. It will return what you plant, but it doesn't care what you plant.

Now, let's say that the farmer has two seeds in his hand, one is a seed of corn, the other is nightshade, a deadly poison. He digs two little holes in the earth and he plants both seeds, one corn, the other nightshade. He covers up the holes, waters and takes care of the land...and what will happen?  Invariably, the land will return what was planted.
 
"As ye sow, so shall ye reap."
 
 
         Corn Seedling
 

Remember the land doesn't care. It will return poison in just as wonderful abundance as it will corn. So up come the two plants, one corn, one poison.

The human mind is far more fertile, far more incredible and mysterious than the land, but it works the same way. It doesn't care what we plant...success...or failure. A concrete, worthwhile goal...or confusion, misunderstanding, fear, anxiety and so on. But what we plant it must return to us.

You see, the human mind is the last great unexplored continent on earth. It contains riches beyond our wildest dreams. It will return anything we want to plant.

PlantingsWhat do you think about on a day-to-day basis?  If you think in negative terms, you will get negative results.  If you think in positive terms, you will achieve positive results.

The human mind will return anything we plant.  So, if that's true, why don't people use their minds more?  Hmmm...we are born with our mind.  It's free.  Things that are free, we often take for granted.  Things that we buy, we value.  The truth is exactly the opposite.   
 
"Everything that's really worthwhile in life came to us free - our minds, our souls, our bodies, our hopes, our dreams, our ambitions, our intelligence, our love of family and children and friends and country."

Professional Inspiration
 
 
We are the sum total of our own thoughts.  We are where we are because of what we think.  What we think today, tomorrow, next month, next year determines our future.  Our doubts, fears and worries can stop us from attempting.
 
When something new and unfamiliar comes your way are you nervous or afraid?  Do you instantly think or say I can't do that!  When you start to have negative thoughts, challenge them.  Ask yourself why can't I.  Grab a notebook, write down every reason you can think of why you can't achieve something.  Next, challenge each reason by saying to yourself, if this were really true, what else could I do to make it happen?  Write down your answers.  Now review your answers and take the first step. 
 
When we respond to something new by saying I can, instead of I can't, we empower ourselves to take the first step.  Our mind believes what it hears. 
 
Have you heard the saying, "Act as if."  Walk, talk and carry yourself exactly as you would if you were completely unafraid in a particular situation.
 
The law of Reversibility states, "If you feel a certain way, you will act in a manner consistent with that feeling."  However, if you act in a manner consistent with that feeling, even if you don't feel it, the Law of Reversibility will create a feeling that is consistent with your actions.  In other words, how we act is how we begin to feel.  This is one of the greatest breakthroughs in modern psychology.
