Rick Whitehead has spent 30+ years enjoying helping dental practice teams and never wants to retire! And he is now busy creating his "legacy" of resources for dental professionals to use for continuous professional development

Self Help Books

see "How To" books for an introduction to all books and how to use them

What impresses patients? Clinical, administrative and organisational competence AND how team members project - their personalities. Patients who always receive the best all-round treatment talk about it! They become your “ambassadors”! 

All Ricks offerings follow these principles. Everything is tailored to the dental profession: All "How to" books are designed to help relevant team members improve both their competence AND projection (while laughing as they learn!) 

OR you can do it yourself as a TEAM - (maybe with Rick's help) using one of his new D.I.Y. KITS.

to establish how good you already are as a TEAM use one of our How good are WE? questionnaires which should be completed by ALL team members

Rick has tailored his unique JANUS creative planning system so ambitious and bold practices can reach for the sky!

Experiential Profiling

and individuals can use

Experiential Personality Profiling

to discover their Bright and

Dark sides and see themselves

as OTHERS see them !

and to enhance the benefits gained from these and any other learning, everyone should first read
THINK ABOUT IT! a witty, but serious “coffee table” book to make you laugh,
THINK, reflect
AND learn

Thinking Man

Photos all over this site show team members  ENJOYING THEMSELVES (as well as learning!) See Happy Practices for a selection of case studies

"Trying harder MAY be enough - but much better to think of DIFFERENT ways" (epigram 22 from the book "THINK ABOUT IT!")
