CareerFlow Retreat: Professional Development & Business Opportunities beyond traditional Clinical Dental Hygiene

Hello Fellow Hygienists:
 
I have an exciting opportunity to share with you!  I am frequently being asked by RDH's "How can I get started in a corporate DH hygiene position?" Or, "I'm burned out with clinical practice. Can you suggest another direction for my hygiene career?" My answer has always been a long one.  But now, I can make it brief!  
 
Recently, I was made aware of a unique opportunity for RDH's.  Educational Designs, Inc & The Dental Connection have developed a program, CareerFlow Retreat: Professional Development & Business Opportunities beyond traditional Clinical Dental Hygiene, that will provide dental hygienist's with training, resources and industry introductions seeking to expand their career options.  I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in spreading their wings into the areas of speaking, writing, consulting and/or sales. 
 
I'm attaching a recent press release that will give you the necessary contact information. There is an upcoming CareerFlow retreat scheduled for January 6-10, 2007 in Daytona, FL.  Contact info@EducationalDesigns.com or BPBeth@aol.com for details.
 
Best wishes,
 
Cathy

Announcing the 1st CareerFlow Retreat

Innovative Program to Enhance the Careers of Dental Hygienists

San Ramon, CA Sept 14, 2006 SAN RAMON, Calif -- Announcing the first and only opportunity for dental hygienists interested in expanding their career in a new direction, Educational Designs and Dental Connection have partnered to create a groundbreaking program to educate and coach dental hygienists in public speaking, professional writing, sales & consulting. Designed to provide dental hygienists with hands-on instruction, as well as interactive career mentoring, the CareerFlow Retreat is intended to help jump-start dental hygiene career transitions.

CareerFlow Directors, Kristy Menage Bernie RDH, BS, RYT, and Beth Thompson RDH, BS, long time industry consultants and international speakers, are customizing the symposium content to reflect the background and interests of those accepted into the program. “The CareerFlow Retreat has been created to meet the void that exists in our profession for those dental hygienists who are interested in a career that is not clinically based,” says Menage Bernie. “Our goal is to help attendees tap into their natural talents and to provide an opportunity to secure opportunities outside of clinical practice.”

The retreat will be held January 6 – 10, 2007, in Daytona Beach, FL at the Shores Resort and Spa and will include educational sessions on presentation, writing, sales and consulting skills, yoga sessions, consultation with expert faculty to establish individual business plans and the opportunity to network with media and corporate partners. In addition, Oraspa certification will be offered prior to the CareerFlow retreat on the 6th.

Enrollment is limited to those with a real desire and passion to enhance and expand their career options. “We are looking for dental hygienists who are serious about advancing their dental hygiene careers in the areas of professional speaking, writing, sales and consulting,” adds Thompson. “We plan to mentor dental hygienists in the skills necessary to create messages that impact and influence their audience, but also to introduce them to career opportunities in sales and consulting within our profession.”
