Why Is Everyone Asking Me What to Do?

And how a simple daily huddle can change everything.


Hey there,


Ever feel like as soon as you walk into the office, you're bombarded with questions?


"What's the plan for today?"

"Do we have any no-shows?"

"Who's handling the new patient at 10 AM?"

It's like being the conductor of an orchestra where everyone forgot their sheet music. But here's the good news: there's a simple way to get everyone in sync before the day even begins.


Introducing the 5-Minute Morning Huddle

Think of it as your daily team pep talk. Just 5 minutes each morning can:


Align everyone's tasks and responsibilities.

Highlight any schedule changes or special cases.

Address any immediate concerns or updates.

It's not about adding another meeting to your day; it's about setting the tone and ensuring everyone knows their role.


How to Implement It

Choose a consistent time and place. Maybe right before the first patient arrives.

Have a quick agenda. Cover the day's schedule, any special notes, and assign tasks.

Encourage input. Let team members voice any concerns or suggestions.
