Sirona Speakers Academy

Some of the cerecdoctors.com docs and I recently attended three days at the Sirona Speakers Academy with Dr. Paul Homoly. I went in thinking that it was going to be a fun three days with some close friends enjoying lots of laughs and a few pearls mixed in to help me continue to improve my lecture technique. Well, I can say after attending, that this course will forever change how I organize and present material, not only in a public speaking format but also with my staff, patients, and in everyday conversation.

There were so many great things about the course. The course size is small so there is a lot of individual attention. Paul breaks down his concepts into small steps so you can master a little at a time. Once he sees that everyone in the group has grasped what he has just taught, he builds on that with another concept. This is done until you are comfortable with all the new information, can put it all together, begin to improve, and show some consistency and improved results.

These small steps reminded me of teaching CEREC and how most new CEREC doctors are certainly not comfortable when they walk into that room as they begin their journey. We need to teach them small steps until they feel comfortable and can move to the next step. I'm certainly not going to be perfect when I do my next lecture, but with building blocks from this course I know that every lecture I do will be better, more seamless and certainly more comfortable for me.

I would recommend anyone who is looking to get into public speaking, or who is already doing some and would like to improve, to look into the Sirona Speakers Academy.

It was a very good course and I'm going to be able to make doctors who would like to learn more about the technology much more comfortable when describing the journey. Thanks for a great three days!
