· The importance of relationships and having people there to help you achieve balance.
· How to manage our expectations of perfection.
· What advice Trevor would give young docs regarding how to find fulfillment in their career.
· The importance of defining your vision and setting goals to achieve that vision.
· How to define your “why’s.”
· Why learning to put yourself first allows you to better serve others.
· Trevor’s three core values that bring him the most joy.
· The keys to becoming an outstanding clinician and orthodontist.
· The value of outstanding diagnostic records.
· The importance of determining the etiology of the malocclusion and focusing on the face, not just the teeth.
· When and how to adjust when a case is not progressing as hoped.
· What orthodontists can learn from Koby Bryant.
· The essential paradigm shift in orthodontics away from looking at just the teeth/occlusion and towards a more holistic approach to treatment.
