Dr Darria Long is a Harvard and Yale-trained ER doctor who functions amidst uncertainty and continual unpredictability. She is forced to make critical decisions with incomplete information on a daily basis. In fact, these are hallmarks of life in the ER! The stress can seem unbearable at times, and yet nowhere is it more critical to make good decisions and lead teams through threatening circumstances. So, what are Dr Darria's secrets to handling stress and chaos? Wouldn't each of us like to know how she and her ER team do it?
She has spent her entire career preparing for this new normal, and can help dentists and their team adjust as well. She will introduce and teach participants a system that allows flexibility, minimizes cognitive load, and helps maintain presence- a system everyone can use to prevent or minimize stress and chaos in both their personal and work lives. Just because we never know what's coming through those doors next doesn't mean we cannot be ready for it.
