Students need funding for mission trip E-mail message this week .. American Idol Unless you have been in a cave or ran out of speed dial on your cell phone .. I'm sure you heard of the show .. American Idol. Yes it's a reality show but unlike the others it is a live performance and tests the skill and perseverance of each contestant. As a musician I appreciate the hard work that goes with the weekly preparation and the stomach butterflies that await the glare of the open microphone. I marveled at the metamorphosis of Clay Aiken last season and the strength of my favorite this season Diana Degarmo. These two individuals attest that looks and age have little bearing when overwhelming potential reveals itself. These weekly e-mails reach many World Idols of Chiropractic. Some of you have the obvious technical and management skills that propel you to the pinnacle of our profession. Others on the other hand have the potential to be great but lack the confidence to step outside the bubble of comfort you reside in. In either case you can never relax like this season's show. Latoya London .. my original favorite .. got the boot because she lacked the support the others had. Never .. never take for granted the gift that is You. Patients and your community rely on your performance and your skill. Forget those that feed you and watch their support slide and your numbers crumble. Praise less your staff and witness their lack of enthusiasm and carefree attitude. Those that stand at the end of each week's show clearly understand they must step up next week and deliver more. Doctor .. when was the last time your opened a chiropractic reference book .. an x-ray review or research paper .. watched a technique video or attended a seminar. Have you stepped up and added rehabilitation to your office or added components that make patient care more effective and you more progressive within your philosophical comfort zone? If you wish to stand tall at the end of the day .. tall with confidence in your ability and tall with enthusiasm .. you must step up and increase your technical prowess and management skills. The idol contestants have a vocal and choreographic coach .. when was the last time you attended a seminar or hired a consultant or better yet a practice coach? By the time they perform they own the songs they sing .. have you reviewed your patient management scripts and made it your own? They review their appearance and fan perception .. did you ever review your office forms and written material to determine the perception it portends? If your potential is hiding let it out and be assured that looks and stature mean less than your ability. If you are a stud or studette realize that the faÁade will crumble if substance isn't holding it up. Be humble .. be learned .. be yourself. Share and care. There is much to learn from American Idol. Now a short appeal to vote for Diana. In 1996 Diana was a mere 9 years old and a member of the Coca Cola Olympic City Kids .. a song and dance ensemble of kids hired to perform in the Coca Cola venue during the Atlanta Olympics. My son was on the same ten member team as Diana and they shared a number of solos together. I spent much time in the parent's trailer with Diana's mother Brenda and marveled how they both had vision and goals to boost Diana towards a true American Idol. Years have past without contact until watching the Hawaii Idol audition and a 16 year old humble and pleasant Diana winning the chance to compete. I'm sure everyone involved with each contestant has pulled out old videos and still pictures to reminisce with friends as I have. But .. Brenda has done wonders with Diana and helped her blossom into an appreciative and gifted young woman. This appeals to me and weekly I see her talent grow stronger. She has my vote. In all fairness between Fantasia and Diana they both deserve to win. In all fairness .. you too deserve to win and win you will if you step up your level of performance day by day.
