Thank you to the CT State Dental Assistants Association for graciously asking me to speak at their annual meeting on April 9th.  What a wonderful group of people!   Such a great day! Apologies in advance for the poor quality in  the pictures!

Over the weekend we had another wonderful opportunity to get into the community and share this wonderful book!  Thank you to the Seahorse Restaurant in Noank for all your help!  Thank you as well to all the family and friends that came out and showed support as we embark on such a wonderful journey!

Today I thought we would think about “The Precious Present”. One of the hardest things for women to do is “balance” all that we have on our plate.  Recent studies show women are more successful at work and we are finally starting to earn similar money (or sometimes more) as Men, but we are less “happy” over all.. Why is that?  Because we still feel like we have to “do it all” and we don’t know how to balance things.  When Men have these high profile jobs, that is all they do! Think about it.. they have women take care of them at home, they have women (most of the time) take care of them at work, they just “do their job”.. I always say “I need a wife to take care of me too!!”…  One of the greatest mentors of mine was Jim Rohn.  He has a philosophy on this that I really like. It deals with doing what you are doing at THAT moment full out, then move to the next thing and be fully present there..  I don’t know about you, but I am frequently thinking about work when I am home and I am thinking of home when I am at work.  But if we can just be fully present to where ever we are at that time, we can get that done and move on..  This will bring order to the mind and peace to the heart..  So…. with that said, here are some words from Jim Rohn…

Concentration

The best advice I ever came across on the subject of concentration is: Wherever you are, be there.

When you work, work. When you play, play. Don’t mix the two.

Give whatever you are doing and whoever you are the gift of attention.

On the way to work, concentrate on the way—not the work   —-Jim Rohn

Enjoy TODAY and “The Precious Present”..

–In spirit,

“Never let discouraging people and discouraging situations talk you out of your dream.”~Joel Osteen

Do you have a dream or a heart’s desire that you have been pursuing?  Maybe it’s to start your own business, to land a promotion in your current job,  to get healthy or more fit, to write a book…the list goes on.  Whatever dream you are holding onto – and willing to work hard for – don’t let others discourage you.  Don’t let setbacks get you down.  You have greatness within you and amazing ability to achieve awesome things.

Make a commitment to yourself that you WILL achieve your dream, but you must ACT!! Take some time to write down what it is you want–be SPECIFIC!!  and write it like it has already occurred (“I am so happy and grateful now that……  “).  Then read it every day, surround yourself with “believers” and leave the “dream stealers” behind!  Then take little action steps every day toward realizing your dream and soon… you will be basking in the sun of “possibility”!!

Believe and you WILL achieve!!

Thanks to all who joined us at the Meriden Library this past Monday February 22nd,  for another successful book signing event! Again- the positive feedback we have been receiving is overwhelming and words can not express the gratitude felt by all the support!

Thanks to all who attended our book signing at the Funky Monkey on February 4th!  It was so nice to see how supportive our patients and friends have all been!  We look forward to our next event and will keep you posted as they are booked!

Dr. Marianne Urbanski Completes One-of-a-Kind WomenCertified® Training

WomenCertified® today announced that Dr. Marianne Urbanski of Meriden, CT has completed the WomenCertified training and certification program and is now specially qualified to provide an extraordinary level of service to women.

Urbanski specializes in Periodontics and Dental Implants in the Birchwood Building on South Broad St.

The goal of WomenCertified is to create women friendly companies and buying experiences. Statistics show that over 83% of all consumer purchases are made by women, making them the primary customer in almost every industry.  WomenCertified is designed to teach sales and service professionals how to deliver better customer service, tailored especially for the female customer.

To become WomenCertified, professionals must complete a series of intensive training modules to learn the communication and customer service skills proven to be the most effective and desirable among women customers. Developed and conducted by Delia Passi, the leading expert and author on marketing and communicating to women, the training program includes a four-part online course track or live training and a culminating test. Passi has trained thousands of sales and service professionals across the nation in developing top communication skills, and she is the CEO and President of Medelia, Inc.

“Dr. Urbanski and the sales and service professionals who become WomenCertified are now part of a growing group who are raising the bar in providing the best customer service experience to women,” said Passi. “Studies show that Americans are growing less satisfied with the levels of customer service they receive, and WomenCertified is working to reverse that trend. It’s a win-win opportunity for companies and consumers.”
