00:00:15: Sometimes it feels like no matter what you say the other person just doesn't get you.

00:00:21: With patience staff or colleagues communication can suddenly feel exhausting & confusing.

00:00:27: Hello dear friends This is Dr.

00:00:30: Martin Buxman, and welcome back to the Lean Orthodontics podcast!

00:00:35: Some people say I get along well with them while others say i just can't deal with those people at all for a long time... ...I thought the same way.

00:00:53: But at some point, I realized something important.

00:00:57: Real mastery begins when you can get along with everyone and then consciously decide how to move forward Not because harmony happens automatically but because you actively choose How To Communicate.

00:01:09: That insight made me understand that communication is a skill.

00:01:13: You need attentiveness!

00:01:15: You need to observe people carefully And one model that helped me tremendously as an entry point is the four-color personality model.

00:01:25: Yes, it simplifies people into categories and no... It's not perfect!

00:01:31: No one is just ONE color all the time.

00:01:34: We're ALL a mix But this model gives powerful clues about why people react the way they do.

00:01:41: When we first introduced this model in our practice.. ..it was fascinating.

00:01:45: Everyone immediately started assigning colors.

00:01:48: Martin, you're clearly this one!

00:01:51: With others it was the same.

00:01:54: We even started joking about it giving nicknames and suddenly our daily interactions became easier And more conscious.

00:02:02: we also noticed something interesting with patients.

00:02:05: when certain personality types clash They don't understand each other at all.

00:02:11: they talk past one another.

00:02:12: let's start with a red type.

00:02:14: These people are direct, structured fast decision makers.

00:02:19: They're dominant and often extroverted... ...and they hate wasted time.

00:02:24: Long explanations frustrate them!

00:02:26: They want a quick overview & clear answer.

00:02:29: Once they decide….

00:02:31: …they stick to it.

00:02:32: But they will constantly test you If you appear uncertain.. ..they lose trust immediately.

00:02:38: With red types Clarity and confidence is everything.

00:02:42: Then there's the blue type.

00:02:44: This is the analytical thinker.

00:02:46: Facts, numbers studies and statistics.

00:02:49: they don't skim abstracts.

00:02:51: They read the methods.

00:02:53: security matters deeply to them And they avoid risk whenever possible.

00:02:57: pressure makes them uncomfortable.

00:03:00: If you say it should probably work You've already lost him?

00:03:04: He want precision.

00:03:06: he will come back again and again asking the same questions Just to be sure nothing has changed.

00:03:40: There's the green type.

00:03:42: Calm, harmonious and relationship focused.

00:03:46: These people need time.

00:03:48: They don't like being rushed overwhelmed or pushed.

00:03:52: they rarely decide alone And often seek reassurance from others.

00:03:56: But once they trust you... ...they become incredibly loyal & reliable.

00:04:01: They value care patience and stability.

00:04:04: Now ask yourself which type are YOU?

00:04:07: Which types work in your practice And how differently do you need to communicate with each of them?

00:04:13: When you adapt your language and expectations, resistance disappears.

00:04:18: Trust builds faster... ...and conversations become smoother.
