A Strengths-Based Workplace with Vision and Purpose with Dr. Matthew Norton

Fearless Dentistry Podcast with Dr. John Gordon

It all comes down to people in your practice. The workplace culture you want to create is built on solid leadership and teamwork as everyone works toward the same shared vision. As much as we rely on data and technology, the human elements of a leader and team cannot be overlooked on the path to creating a strengths-based workplace where employee engagement is the standard. I’m joined by Dr. Matthew Norton, a leadership and organizational consultant, who gives us a look at his journey to finding clarity and purpose after immense grief and loss–and how he came to the impactful work he does today.
