23. Mindfulness & Building Trust with Dr Viet Le & Dr Chiraag Devani
One thing I always feel strongly about — and constantly advocate for on the podcast — is the importance of our mental wellbeing, mindset, attitude, and personal development. These are the foundations for building fulfilling careers, meaningful patient relationships, and living our best, healthiest lives, both professionally and personally.When it comes to this space, few people understand it as deeply as Viet and Chiraag. Dr Viet Le and Dr Chiraag Devani are the founders of Being Together, an initiative dedicated to sharing experiences and raising awareness around mindfulness, gratitude, self-worth, and kindness — and how these elements impact not just our own mental health, but also the way we communicate with our teams and patients.I absolutely love what Viet and Chiraag stand for, and I’m thrilled to announce that they will be running a special workshop on Friday, July 18th — exclusively for our graduate dentist community and free for the first 20 people who sign up.
