In today’s clinical and dental practice environments, kindness is not a soft skill: it’s a leadership strategy. This engaging CE session explores the difference between being nice and being kind, and how intentional kindness strengthens resilience, reduces burnout, and improves team performance and patient trust. Participants will learn practical approaches including the “Connect First, Then Teach” feedback model, principles of deliberate practice, and ways to create psychologically safe learning environments. Through real-world examples, review of the evidence, and actionable tools, this program equips dental practitioners and leaders to build cultures where people thrive and excellence is sustainable.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Describe the role of kindness, psychological safety, and effective feedback in promoting resilience and sustainable learning in pediatric dental practice environments.
- Recognize communication strategies that foster psychological safety and constructive feedback in the clinical setting.
- Identify small, actionable changes to their own supervisory style that incorporate kindness-based strategies.
