A Time To Be Thankful

Posted on: 12.21.17 | by John Nosti

Curator John Nosti standing outdoors

It's that time of year again where we all get ready for the holidays. For many years I have been part of a tradition of giving back that my father started. I look forward to it every year as both a way to be part of making Christmas special for families that are less fortunate, but also as a reminder to be thankful for all that I have. Read More

Commuting and Stress Relief

Posted on: 10.23.17 | by John Nosti

I have a 50 minute plus commute to work every day, and one of the things I use that drive for is to work out the knots in my shoulders that are a natural part of being a dental professional. A tennis ball can become the best thing you keep in your car! Read More

3 Keys for Success

Posted on: 10.07.17 | by John Nosti

When I think about business or personal success, for me it boils down to a formula of three things. Number one is to identify the strategy: What do I want to do more of or have more of? Number two is to look at the story we have that might be motivating us or getting in the way; this may be the why or the why not. The third part is our state of mind: Are we Read More

You Are What You Eat

Posted on: 08.21.17 | by John Nosti

Despite being very regimented about my diet and exercise, I have struggles with gastritis and weight issues. In an effort to improve things I changed my diet, and even gave up coffee, something I dearly love. Recently I learned about a great book Plant Paradox. One of the things I learned is that NightShades are a group of vegetables that many of us can't Read More

Failures

Posted on: 07.18.17 | by John Nosti

Yes I want to talk about the dreaded "f" word in dentistry, failures. I think it is common to really focus on the failures in our lives and in dentistry. Unrealistic expectations about how long dentistry will last, like expecting our crowns to last forever sets us up for failure. The experience of it can make us beat ourselves up and take this on ourselves Read More

Missing The Mark

Posted on: 06.12.17 | by John Nosti

This weekend in New Jersey I have had some challenges at the hotel I am staying in. As a way to make it up to me, they sent me an apology gift to my room. Unfortunately the completely missed the mark. Often we do this same thing with patients. Getting to know someone, their preferences, likes and dislikes allows us to customize how we interact with them, so Read More

Pain Free

Posted on: 05.19.17 | by John Nosti

Recently I have sought out some additional training in personal fitness and nutrition. One of the primary reasons for this is my love of dentistry. I want to practice for a long time, and to do that I need to protect my greatest asset, me!  I am a reading a great book right now called "Pain Free". It looks at staying physically fit as the key to eliminating Read More

Lessons From Uncle Joe

Posted on: 05.03.17 | by John Nosti

At my parents 50th wedding anniversary celebration (yes 5o!), I had a chance to discuss business with my Uncle Joe. Joe was the CEO of multiple large well known companies over his career. Often he took them from losing money to making large amounts of money, from survival to success. He shared with me the 3 keys to business success, and even threw in a bonus Read More

FORD

Posted on: 04.14.17 | by John Nosti

So the first thing most of us think about when we hear Ford is the car company. In this case it is an Acronym F.O.R.D. and no it does not stand for "fix or repair daily". This was powerful learning for me out my franchise training and has rippled through my work and personal life. Most recently it showed up at my doctor's visit. F.O.R.D. stand for Read More

Staying Hydrated is Key

Posted on: 03.21.17 | by John Nosti

Staying adequately hydrated during the day is important for us and for our patients. People with a faster resting heart rate can experience a slowing of your heart rate when they are dehydrated and then you start feeling sluggish. In addition your brain capacity decreases, and our ability to do our jobs can be compromised. The minimum is half of our body Read More
