The West of Perfection Podcast

Erin and MK may not be experts in technology or AI, but they are experts in the human person at work. In this episode, they examine AI from a leadership lens: how will this technology showcase opportunities to develop skills and attitudes that only belong to humans?Using this tool and being a highly relational, present, and thoughtful leader are not mutually exclusive, but like all things, this balance needs to be created intentionally.Rather than approaching this topic from a place of fear, MK and Erin share a Practical, 5 Part Framework to give AI and human development their proper places.-Leave us a voicemail or send us a text at (615) 864 0359 to share your West Moment!--Connect With West: West’s website: https://www.Westofperfection.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/westofperfection/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/west-of-perfection/ Work with us: https://www.westofperfection.com/services

Orthodontists (and leaders in every industry) listen up! Are you hoping your people’s drama and frustration works itself out over the weekend? Is the stress of your people challenges keeping you up at night?  If so, you are not alone. In this episode, Erin and MK address what’s at the heart of the most common issues they encounter while working in the orthodontic industry, most of which are problems for other industries too. Coming off of The AAO Annual Meeting this year, they reflect on what many clients have shared about their challenges and leadership development journeys. Although the examples they share directly pertain to their work in the orthodontic industry, leaders in other industries will also resonate with the struggles and successes discussed. For Free, Weekly Leadership Insights for Orthodontists- Sign up for Beyond the Brackets here!  For Free, Weekly Leadership Insights for Business Leaders- Sign Up for Beyond the Boardroom Here! - Leave us a voicemail or send us a text at ‪(615) 864-0359‬ to share your West Moment! -- Connect With West: West’s website: https://www.Westofperfection.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/westofperfection/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/west-of-perfection/ Work with us: https://www.westofperfection.com/services
