Most of the challenges that business owners have, including practice owners, relate to people.

If we can improve how we communicate, if we can improve how we relate with one another, we’re going to improve trust. And when we improve trust, we create engagement, productivity, and a whole heap of good culture. 

In this episode of The Savvy Dentist Podcast, Dr. Jesse Green chats with Jeremie Kubicek, Co-Founder of GiANT, and a powerful communicator, serial entrepreneur and content builder. 

Jeremie creates content used by some of the largest companies around the globe found in the books he has authored: The 100X Leader, 5 Voices, 5 Gears, Making Your Leadership Come Alive, The Peace Index, and his brand new book just released in November of 2023, The Communication Code.

Jeremie is the Co-Founder of GiANT, a company that certifies coaches and consultants that serve companies and their employees. Jeremie has started over 25 companies while living in Oklahoma City, Moscow, Atlanta and London.

  • [23:05] – How you can grow in your relational intelligence and increase your influence. Jeremie explains 5 mindsets that carry you through various facets of your day. These include:
    • First gear – when you fully rest and recharge
    • Second gear – when you connect with family or friends without the involvement of work
    • Third gear – when you are socializing
    • Fourth gear – when you are working and multi-tasking
    • Fifth gear – when you are fully focused and ‘in the zone, ‘ working without interruption
  • [30:01] – Healthy communication is essential in any professional or personal relationship. When the lines of communication are frayed or broken, the resulting drama, unnecessary conflict, and inefficiency often lead to ‘dropping the ball’. Better communication yields better results. It’s a no-brainer―honest conversations build deeper, more productive relationships. It may seem simple in theory, but healthy communication is one of the most challenging things to master in practice. That’s why Jeremie wrote his most recent book – The Communication Code: Unlocking Every Relationship, One Conversation at a Time
