Through a series of questions and shared responses, you will regain your connection to the exquisitely positive spirit of what it means to work in a medical practice. We’ll ask participants four questions and answer each one in turn. What would an unforgettably positive day look like? What gets in the way of experiencing that day? How can we make it better?

The session will help you remember what's great about your office, and remind you to focus on the experiences and thoughts that make you efficient while bringing happiness to you, colleagues and patients.
