"The Guiding Leaders program was an unforgettable experience for me as a seasoned, female clinician. The new friendships and support system that developed over the program’s six months humbled me as a professional and energized my passion and drive. This program is designed to prepare and equip participants with the resources needed to become an influencer in dentistry. I learned that there is no time to be shy, scared or anxious. In fact, I learned so much in the program that it brought me more speaking engagements! There isn't another program like this."

"Each session served as a springboard as I began transitioning into a leadership role at my own practice. Guiding Leaders helped me gain more confidence in public speaking and addressing a group of peers, as well as advocating for and discussing the challenges of our profession. This program is so much more than a “continuing education opportunity;” it is a carefully curated leadership cohort of highly motivated professionals who share successes, challenges and support to learn and grow together."

"The Guiding Leaders program accelerated my growth and shaped me into a stronger, more confident leader within my family, practice and the dental community. It isn’t often that you can share a room with some of the best and brightest in your field and collectively learn, grow, and candidly share your successes and struggles without ego and judgment."

"I am so privileged to have been a part of Guiding Leaders because it has catapulted my career forward. I have gained insight into being a stronger dentist, leader and mother. I also have gained a new family of women leaders who continue to inspire me daily. I am so grateful to the Guiding Leaders program for re-energizing my spirit."

"I am honored that I was chosen to be in the first group of Guiding Leaders. The curriculum is excellent! The instructors are highly qualified and the final objective is what I have always dreamed of for myself: to be a strong leader. I wish all women dentists in the US had the opportunity to be a part of this powerhouse group of dentists."

"We're inspired by people who have outward mindsets, and when we start to apply that to the groups that we’re speaking to or working with — the teams that we go back to the office and work with — it’s amazing the difference and the impact that being a part of this program has had. I love talking to my team about what I’ve learned at the conferences, and it has been nothing but beneficial to my office, to my staff, to the people that I work with, to the patients that I treat, but also to my family. It’s been amazing and I am so proud to be a part of the Guiding Leaders program."

"I'm so happy to be a part of Guiding Leaders. It is an amazing group of women empowering women. The program has been such a gift and a great opportunity for growth and development. Guiding Leaders has undoubtedly influenced all parts of my work and life — in a positive way!"

"Being a part of Guiding Leaders has been an incredible experience. Glidewell and Stephenie have just done a fantastic job hand-selecting women from around this country. I kind of compare it to being a part of "The Avengers" because every single woman that is in this group has her own superpower, and they just bring such a strength to the table. We learn so much in the classroom, but we also learn so much from each other."
