Announcing Line of Sight Coaching and the Leader to Leader Development program.
Dr. Joel Small and Dr. Edwin McDonald (Dr. Mac) have teamed up to begin a new venture, Line of Sight Coaching.
“We have developed a unique and robust leadership coaching and development program designed to help dentists, physicians and wellness professionals like yourself, become the leader you were always capable of being.”
Dr. Joel Small has completed all the training and studying necessary to take and pass the board certification exam and is now a Board Certified Executive Leadership Coach. He is a retired clinical endodontist, Board Certified Executive Leadership Coach, entrepreneur, speaker, and the author of “Face to Face: A Leadership Guide For Healthcare Professionals and Entrepreneurs.
Dr. Mac McDonald is an executive coach, author, and exceptional restorative dentist. He is on the faculty of both the Pankey Institute and the Spear Educational Institute. He lectures extensively throughout the country on organizational culture and team building.
From Dr. Joel: “I take great pride in this personal achievement, but more importantly, I view it as a sign of my commitment to be the very best coach possible for my clients.”

Dr. Small and Dr. McDonald are certified to administer what they believe to be today’s gold standard in leadership assessments. In particular, Dr. Small sought feedback from respected coaching colleagues and thoroughly researched available leadership assessment tools. One assessment stood out above the crowded field. The Leadership Circle Profile 360 is unquestionably the most reliable and valid leadership assessment for the healthcare industry. Extensively researched, the Leadership Circle Profile 360 (LCP 360) has been shown to have an incredibly high correlation to one’s ability to lead. And one’s ability to lead effectively has been shown to positively impact organizational culture, productivity, and profitability.
The LCP 360 allows us to see ourselves as leaders from a unique perspective; through the eyes of those we lead. It matters little how we see ourselves as leaders. The ultimate litmus test is how we are perceived in this capacity by those we lead. This is truly where the rubber meets the road. The LCP 360 helps us discover blind spots and self-limiting beliefs that have habitually restricted us from reaching our leadership potential and prevented us from achieving some of our most desired goals. This is truly a remarkable tool.
With Line of Sight Coaching, the Doctors and Coaches, help their clients develop committed and supportive teams, create optimal work/life balance, reduce personal and professional stress, and become more profitable … all while working smarter, not harder. They offer private coaching for many of our clients and our Leader to Leader group coaching program which includes private coaching in conjunction with a cohort learning and sharing experience. This program offers leadership developmental training prepared by us and The Leadership Circle Group; the world’s premier leadership development organization.
Each participant in the Line of Sight Coaching programs will develop their own personal leadership development plan based on the findings of the Leadership Circle Profile 360 assessment and through collaboration with their individual coach. Between the online group sessions, private coaching with one of the LOSC coaches will ensure that each participant’s individual leadership goals are fully manifested within their clinical practice. We have found that these individual sessions are critical to ensure that the leadership principles are both implemented and anchored in each participant’s clinical practice.
