Jasmin Haley RDH on Investing in Yourself, Avoiding “Imposterism” and CAREERfusion.
Jasmin and I got the chance to sit down at CAREERfusion the first week of January. We were both first-time attendees, and at the end of the third day, we took a few moments to reflect on the experience we were in the middle of.
She opens up about how she has been able to be vulnerable here, and the validation she felt from this meeting.
Jasmin is a hygienist carving her own path as a speaker, blogger, and podcaster. She is adjunct faculty in a hygiene program, and like many, she is temping part time.
She schools me on Brick vs. The Brick, which I completely failed!
She shares her takeaways from CAREERfusion
We reflect on 2016 RDH Under One Roof’s Keynote speaker Colette Carlson’s talk about “making an ask out of yourself”
Jasmin gives her thoughts about the importance of healthy patients and how oral health coaching is an amazing adjunct for patients in the dental office who are trying to control cavities and gum disease.
How getting people to change is difficult, and as a public health instructor “the health belief model” requires that people believe they are at risk for disease and how that often doesn’t happen in a traditional appointment
We talk about the book “The Power of Habit” and habit loops vs keystone habits and how that relates to patient care and behavioral change.

I really enjoyed sitting down with Jasmin, and I look forward to what 2017 holds for her!!
Dr Jon Engel DDS is not only an amazing dentist, he’s also a five time CAREERFusion attendee!
Today he sits down and tells us why he comes to CAREERFusion, and what he takes back to his team and patients.
Dr. Engel is unlike any dentist I’ve ever met; he cares deeply for his patients, but he’s also in tune with his emotions. And, in a perfect world he’d put himself out of business by preventing cavities if it were up to him.
Naturally, I picked his brain about the prevention he lives and breathes, and he’s kind enough to give the listeners some great insight about pH control, and how xylitol attacks the mouth bacteria responsible for cavities.
He opens up about how in the past he used to take it personally when his patients didn’t accept his treatment recommendations, but how he now holds space for people and comes from the place of serving the patient vs. treating them.
Trust is a major factor in any relationship. Have you ever experienced working with a dentist or hygienist that focuses on helping you get healthy (even if that means telling you things you may not want to hear) all while building your trust, because you can see in their eyes that they want the absolute best for your health?
Have you ever had dental work done so that when you are finished you want to climb to the top of a mountain and shout out everyone about it (or post it to all of your social media accounts)?
Believe it or not, some people have had positive life changing experiences in a dental office. Dr. Jonathan Abenaim of Jonathan Dental Spa talks with us today about the importance of finding the right team to trust when it comes to your dental needs and oral health concerns.
In an age where we are constantly feeling rushed, it’s refreshing to hear from a health care provider that prides himself and his team member’s stance on taking the time to build trust with the patients he sees. He shares what drives him to create a successful practice, and why he feels called to help other dentists treat people the way that he does.
If you’ve visited a dentist where you didn’t get the best vibe, or if you’ve worked in an office that you don’t love, then this podcast is for you! As we close out this year, let’s make it a point to work with professionals we trust moving forward, and let’s identify some key factors to consider before jumping in with treatment (or a job) you’ll be disappointed in.
You deserve to have a dental provider that you feel has your best interest in mind, and that only happens when someone takes the time to get to know you, not just treat you.
And, if you’re willing to give 100% to making your patients experience an amazing one, you too deserve to work with a team like this!
Dr Jonathans’ commitment to trust and good dentistry has propelled him into writing a book about creating an amazing team…and if you’re not the dental field, it’s still full of great insight on how to follow your “true north”, and do what’s right by yourself and others.
