Work Hard.......Play Harder!

"Our minds need relaxation and give way unless we mix with work a little play"  -Molier

We just returned from Longboat Key Florida this week where we combined continuing education with some fun with our doctor and dental team.  We came back to work feeling refreshed and closer as a team and we wanted to share some of our trip with you.

Every morning we attended the Paragon Program's Growth and Profitability seminar. We received great tips on practice management for the whole team as well as products and systems to implement in our practice. We enjoyed guest speaker,Vittorio Borgia, General Manager of Eddie Merlot's in Columbus, Ohio. He stressed the importance of customer service and truly loving what you do.  

The Paragon Program was celebrating their 25th year, so our team participated in a sand sculpture competition where the theme was anything 1986.

 

Our sculpture was from the movie Crocodile Dundee.                  Pecan Sandie Awards were given to all  

We enjoyed great meals together and lot's of shopping in St. Armands Circle. We hammed it up for the camera and got really good group shots.

The last night of our trip Paragon Program hosted a party and all of us went back to 1986! Many of the offices performed skits and we danced the night away.

Getting out of the office and spending some quality time together really makes us appreciate the wonderful people we work with individually and as a group. If you can't take a trip, do something simple- like dinner and get connected with each other. It's so important that we take time for ourselves every once in a while and get refreshed so we can always give our patients our best!
