    Lynne Schinella - Pick Me! Using fruit to understand yourself and others

    Welcome to another episode of The Savvy Dentist Podcast with Dr. Jesse Green, where we explore groundbreaking ideas and the brilliant minds behind them.  Today, we’re excited to introduce Lynne Schinella, an accomplished speaker, author, and creator of the Fruit Personality Profiling System—a unique and insightful approach to understanding human behavior and enhancing communication. Lynne’s innovative system uses fruits as metaphors to represent different personality types, making it accessible, relatable, and fun for individuals and teams alike. With decades of experience in training and development, Lynne has worked with organisations around the globe to help people navigate the complexities of workplace dynamics and interpersonal relationships. Her Fruit Personality Profiling System identifies four distinct "fruit" types—Apples, Mangoes, Limes, and Bananas—each with their own strengths, challenges, and ways of interacting with others. By decoding these traits, Lynne empowers individuals to better understand themselves and those around them, fostering collaboration and mutual respect in personal and professional settings. Author of Bite Me! And Other Do’s and Don’ts of Dealing with our Differences, Lynne pens a regular blog series, and hosts two podcasts Fruitful Conversations and Fruitful Pairs. Lynne’s second book is Pick Me! Loving and Living with People You Just Don’t Get. In today’s episode, we’ll explore the story behind Lynne’s creation of the Fruit Personality Profiling System and dive into how this tool can transform the way we connect and communicate. We’ll also hear firsthand insights from Lynne about what makes each "fruit" type tick, how to leverage your personality traits for success in your dental practice, and why embracing diversity is key to thriving in today’s world.  When we have more respect and understanding for each other’s differences in every way, we can connect more effectively as human beings. We have less stress. We get more done. The world is a kinder place. Get ready to discover a fresh perspective on personality profiling and a practical tool that could change the way you interact with others—let’s get started! [04:05] - How you become a 'Fruit Chick'. [10:52] - Utilising Lynne’s Fruit Profiling will allow you to understand your people better, they’ll be more productive, and at the end of the day you’ll get to go home on time. [14:47] - An overview of the Fruit Profile characteristics. [24:33] - What types of people make up a dental practice business. [30:04] - How to deal with different people in your team.

    Dr Rupert Neville - Business and Life Mastery

    In this episode of The Savvy Dentist Podcast, Dr. Jesse Green is joined by fellow dentist from the U.K Dr. Rupert Neville, who, along with his wife Alannah, own dental practices in the south of England. Rupert is a long term client of Savvy Dentist, and has a really great perspective, not just about business, but about life. Rupert is a deeply reflective human being and very courageous in the way he goes about life. Rupert shines a light on a pathway for dental practice owners that might be going through challenges to help them come out the other side. And of course, the pathway is not always beautifully laid out. Rupert has had to deal with his share of challenges along the way, as you'll hear in this podcast, and the way he's overcome them has been magnificent.  Rupert qualified from Newcastle University (U.K) in 2006 and started working at the Lodge Dental Surgery in 2007. He bought the practice with his wife Alannah in 2011. He has recently become a validation supervisor (trainer) for dentists.  Away from dentistry Rupert is a keen sportsman and played rugby for Newcastle Falcons between 2000-2006 .  He now enjoys coaching. [03:31] - A valuable lesson in resilience for every parent. [07:17] - The power of sports in helping us be better dental practitioners and ‘bounce back’. [14:51] - The importance of finding good role models and mentors. [18:04] Spending your day ‘running and gunning’ is exhausting. Dr. Rupert Neville offers a healthier and more efficient alternative. [21:10] - The importance (and team power) of you being vulnerable can never be understated.  [23:53] - COVID from a UK perspective. What it was like working in a dental business in the UK during the pandemic. [30:48] - Rupert explains how he built his powerful team, and what he does to lead and empower them. [36:48] - Taking over an established practice … verse … starting a practice. Compare the pair! [43:51] - Being a leader means you must have a passion and strong vision for the future of your practice, and the team. It also means you must make tough decisions at times. For Dr. Neville, removing his practice from the UK DEMPLAN system after 30 years meant losing long term patients, for the long term sustainability and profitability of the business.

    REPUBLISH: Growth is inversely correlated to control - Dr Jesse Green

    In dentistry, we are always working with precision and control over a patient's situation. Having acute attention-to-detail creates a perfectionist tendency in us all, and this trait is critical to achieving great clinical outcomes. Now, in a clinical setting this makes so much sense. But in a business and operational sense and a broader life perspective, it can be a real financial and cultural ‘handbrake’. Your ability to grow and scale your practice is inversely proportional to YOUR desire for control. In other words, if you desire control too much, it slows you down in your business growth, and your ability to create time for yourself and to create the results you're seeking. In this episode of The Savvy Dentist Podcast we pose the question, on a scale of one to ten, how strong is your desire for control in your business and your life? Dr. Jesse Green walks you through a very truthful and personal journey that will have you thinking differently within the next 19 minutes and 47 seconds. Press play.

    Why some people achieve more than others - Jesse Green

    People achieve more than others for several reasons, with mindset and perseverance being key factors. Those with a "growth mindset," believe that talents and intelligence can be developed through effort and learning. This mindset encourages individuals to embrace challenges, persist in the face of setbacks, and continually strive for improvement. People with a fixed mindset, on the other hand, may avoid challenges or give up easily, thinking their abilities are limited. Additionally, high achievers often set clear goals and maintain a strong sense of purpose, which helps them stay focused and motivated. They’re willing to make sacrifices, learn from failure, and adjust their strategies to keep moving forward. Another important element is the support systems and opportunities available to them. Successful individuals often have access to resources such as mentors, education, and networks that help them develop their skills and open doors to new opportunities. However, it’s not just about what people are given—it's about how they leverage these opportunities. Time management, discipline, and the ability to delay gratification also play significant roles in achievement.  Moreover, individuals who surround themselves with positive influences and foster resilience are better equipped to overcome challenges, further propelling them toward success.  Ultimately, a combination of mindset, effort, opportunity, and resilience determines why some people achieve more than others. Welcome to The Savvy Dentist Podcast, the show where great dentistry meets savvy business! Join Dr. Jesse Green as we explore the strategies and insights that drive the most successful practices. Dr. Jesse Green has been coaching dentists for over a decade helping them grow and scale their business. The most commonly asked question is, “What is it that separates the people that achieve great results for their practice compared to those that achieve mediocre results”? In this short episode of the Savvy Dentist Podcast Dr Jesse explains what he feels you can do immediately to move to the path of achievement and success.
