Are you looking in the wrong places as you see to find happiness at work?
Many dental people when they are looking for a job where they can stay and be happy look at the surgeries, in the drawers and cupboards believing that the equipment they are provided will make them happy.
Others look for the Goldilocks appointment book not too busy, not too empty, just right.
Experience shows that these are not the right places to look for happiness at work. We all know someone who has worked in a fancy practice with all the kit, yet still desperately unhappy.
May I offer another place to look first before you apply for yet another job?
You may first want to find someone with expertise to help you look inside, discover your purpose, why were your born to be a dentist. Discover what would the world be missing if you stepped away from your career?
I am sure that you have met toilet cleaners who smile and sing as they do their work, they do this because they have found meaning and purpose in a job that others may consider menial. For them there is meaning and purpose cleaning up after others and making the toilet fresh for you.
Finding your purpose, your identity in your role, along with the beliefs and values that support you will make it so much easier for you to apply only for roles that have the potential to be a fit and to be happy. Once you know your purpose and values every decision is then easy. You deserve a position that makes you so happy you could smile and sing, unfortunately, dental school never taught you how to find these roles.
Because you want to avoid another toxic practice, move away from the style of dentistry that makes you unhappy, solve the problems about why you are unhappy at work, we offer a unique solution that will enable you to find the perfect position for you, so you can be happy and smiley at work. Are you ready to say goodbye to unhappiness?
Only you can decide the right time to take the first step and when you do others will notice the difference, in your smile.
