This week on The Official OSAP Podcast with Michelle Lee, Michael Williamson JD, CHC, CCEP shares how Pacific Dental Services developed a values-based compliance approach.

  • Paradox of Rules

Quotes

“There was very little of the actual general practice of law that I enjoyed.” 

“Do what fills you and makes you feel whole and authentic.”

“Pacific Dental Services, through the pandemic, has done a great job communicating the messages around dental safety.” 

“You were able to intertwine compliance into Pacific’s values.” 

“Our values are 200+ words, straight from Stephen Thorne’s heart.” 

“We don't just have a compliance program, we have a compliance and ethics program.” 

“There is a paradox to rules, the more of them there are, the more you are in essence incenting people to find a way around them.”  

“We've done extensive work in translating those values into desired behaviors.” 

“It's not PDS saying ‘this is how you should behave’ it’s your peers.” 

“OSAP is compliance nirvana.” 

“Give your people a reason to go to work.”

Boysober

Boysober

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
