ASP Retreat I

I've been on the Salmon River Adventure with Dr. Bob twice now, and would do it again!  Being immersed in untouched nature and beauty was very healing for my heart and soul, and I met many new friends.  The guides were amazing..always attentive to any needs. They cooked all our meals and the food was wonderful!  I wasn't sure about "camping" for a week, without a real toilet or bed, but it was no problem and was very comfortable. A lovely trip that I highly recommend!!

Dear Bob,

What a wonderful, rewarding, productive time. Thank you so much for all you did (and continue to do) to help bring the Dawson Center to its greater potential. In retrospect, I think every minute of the session was critically important to the process. Thank you (and Bill) for your magnificent leadership. And by the way, it was a really fun time. Looking forward to further progress.

Warmest regards,
Pete Dawson

Incredible! These tools [from the Personal Applied Strategic Planning Series] are a lifelong gift. I can now map the road to my vision and I'm confident I will realize much of it well before five years. I've already experienced better balance and self-awareness. I'm more satisfied in my life and work. We got so much: team building and commitment to this plan/accountability/personal clarity ...the integrated action plans are the best part!!! I have a growing passion toward my future! Thanks so much! I can't say enough about the Applied Strategic Planning experience and how it impacted our office. Dr. Frazer and his team have a way of teaching that is very different from any of the ways we've approached vision, mission and goals in the past. This process was very powerful for me and my team, both personally and professionally. It has given us a structure that we can continue to build on as we intentionally create the practice and lives of our dreams. I highly recommend it to everyone! [Eighteen months after the end of ASP, working no more clinical hours, Dr. Watts reported production and collections rose such that the practice was up 49% in just the past 12 months! And, they have never done as many major cases.]

Bob Frazer speaks the truth. Under the mentorship of Bob, our practice has transformed from a good practice to an insurance independent, relationship based practice. We see fewer patients, present ideal treatment with high case acceptance. Most patients have managed care plans and visit us out of plan to seek higher quality and customer service. Fewer patients, full fee, less stress---you do the math!

Powerful, challenging; and this has had great impact in making positive changes in my life.

The great thing about this workshop is that what I learned about EI will not only make me a much more effective team member, it will make me a better wife, mother, and whole person.

Bob, you have found your calling! You are indeed gifted with the ideal mix of speaking ability, facilitation skills, and personality. You have an enthusiasm for the process which is contagious, and you are grounded in the pragmatic.

Years before Lucy & I attended your Applied Strategic Planning seminar you had been instrumental in helping me change my office from one in which I was a benevolent dictator to one in which everyone played a role in planning and carrying out shared visions and goals. The ASP Series gave Lucy & me the tools to complete the very important transition to retirement. It really took work to achieve our goals as we proceeded into retiring. Your whole process in the seminar truly guided us each step of the way and for this I will always been indebted to you. My office was truly grateful also. I wanted this to be a win-win-win situation for Lucy & me, for my staff (as many had been with me 25 – 30 yrs) and finally, for my patients. Your ASP Series was vital in me achieving these three goals.
