A Unique Leadership Coaching Style
Most coaches today, in any category, offer either one-to-one or group coaching.
Some present their training in virtual format. We just don’t think that’s good enough.

"Mac and Joel have amazing insights into leadership. They take you where you are and guide you in a way that will take you to new heights.

A Special Message from the Coaches:
Our experiences as both medical professionals and coaches have led us to the point that we firmly believe we are on the cutting edge of leadership coaching for health professionals in the 21st Century.
We know what it’s like to feel like a prisoner in your own practice. We understand the challenges you face when trying to offer the most comprehensive care possible, while struggling to turn a profit. We know how staffing problems, low morale, long hours, and a real sense of overwhelm and burnout can ruin the balance between work and life.
We also know that this scenario is unnecessary and preventable. You can transform your current reality and have the practice – and life – you've always dreamed of having.”
OUR MISSION is to coach dentists, dental professionals and dental office managers to develop the profitable practice of their dreams and work-life balance that creates happiness for everyone: doctor, staff, clients and family.
Dentists are well taught in the skills of providing dentistry but for the most part are left to themselves to develop leadership and business skills. Many times there is a gap between being successful in our professional and personal and spiritual lives. We recently arranged for Dr. Joel Small, a practicing endodontist for over 30 years and the author of the book, Face to Face, to visit our area as the speaker for our annual “Spring Into Dentistry” seminar. He totally engaged our group of over 60 dentists and team members in aspects of office leadership and culture for 4 hours. His presentation was unique and yet logical. Don’t miss an opportunity to listen to his message and learn from his vast experience."

Create a more rewarding practice by combining improved leadership characteristics with your current skillset as a dental practitioner.
To help you accomplish this, we employ a leadership assessment, the Leadership Circle 360° Profile as an integral part of our program.
This is a competency-based 360° profile that measures two primary leadership domains; your Creative Leadership Competencies and your Reactive Tendencies. This cutting edge assessment tool integrates this information along with your personality so that key opportunities for leadership development become apparent.
This vital information, once viewed through the lens of your own unique leadership style, becomes the foundation from which your personal leadership development plan is created in collaboration with your coach.
Knowing the results to this type of comprehensive assessment on your leadership style will help you understand yourself better so that you can focus on the areas to improve in order to get better results.
