Testimonials
"The guiding leaders program was an amazing experience. Not only did I learn how to take back control of my office, personal finances, and retirement plan, I also learned communication skills that have continued to benefit me both professionally and personally."

Waterford, Michigan
"The 2022 Guiding Leaders program was a life-changing experience in every sense of the word. It allowed me to push myself outside of my comfort zone and grow into a more seasoned dentist and business owner."

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."
