ASP Retreat I
Mission Possible: A clear personal and professional vision, defined core values, and a compelling mission are required for success.
During this three-day retreat, you will disconnect from everyday busyness and connect with other doctors and spouses/so's attending. We will further assess where you are today, identify if this is really where you are meant to be, explore your biography, and clarify what your best destiny really is...if it were the best it can be.
“We cannot control the future; however, ASP allows you to get into creative cooperation with your best possible future.”
We will start with an overview of principle-centered, values-based Applied Strategic Planning (ASP). By learning the powerful ASP process, you will create a clear and inspiring vision of your best possible future, personally and professionally. We will assist you in crafting a functional personal mission and set of guiding core values. Plus, you will immediately begin to draft meaningful, attainable goals and objectives.
As a huge added benefit, you will increase your understanding of your partner’s hopes and dreams for their own and your shared future. Plus, you will learn principles of Steward leadership for you and Stewardship for your team—forging greater ownership and a more rewarding practice for all. The insightful information gained in this retreat and your new direction prepare you for Retreat II.

Thank you so much for the fabulous Applied Strategic Planning sessions for the International College of Dentists. I have attached the final report with the Integrated Action Plans (IAP's) that were approved by the Board of Regents last fall in San Francisco. We have updated the IAP's for our Executive review held in January; I could send you those if you wish. Please let me know too if you would also like a scanned electronic copy of the report.
It is an exciting thing to see the wheels moving forward...with a firm direction no less.
Thank you for all the work you have done to assist us in seeing the path to becoming a better organization. It is very much appreciated.

Thanks for an exceptional presentation yesterday (to the Indianapolis Study Club)! Everyone thought it was terrific. More importantly, it has started everyone thinking and re-examining their possibilities. For me, our Thursday dinner and the Friday meeting have given me some important ideas to think about. It has been a very positive experience!

The Applied Strategic Planning experience was way beyond my expectations! A new vision for our practice's future ...that I helped create has had an incredible impact on me (and our entire team) personally and professionally. You gave us so many tools to carry back to the office to rectify problems, attain goals and for follow through. A big positive impact was to connect with other offices throughout the country ...this program attracts the best! There was never a moment during the retreats that I lost interest. I didn't want the last retreat to end! I hung on every single word that was said by Bob and Irene. You are both truly a blessing in my life! Thanks from the bottom of my heart.

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!!

One of the best courses that I have ever attended in my career is Applied Strategic Planning. The ASP process taught us how to write a vision and mission statement as well as how to develop a self-managed, highly motivated team. We also learned how to use a very effective tool, the Integrated Action Plan, to accomplish our goals. I would highly recommend Dr. Bob Frazer and this course to anyone!

I want to personally thank you for all the work you have put into making the ASP process a success for our 13 doctor group. We could not have gone through this without your guidance, hands-on care and enthusiasm. My only regret is that I will not be with you as frequently as during this past year. My hope is to get with you at other courses and activities you offer to continue to grow both my leadership and our friendship. I look forward to our future experiences together.
