Working Towards A Future Better Than Your Past as A World-class Dentist

A lot of negativity is being expressed today in the media and by what we observe in life in general. I have come to realize that many dentists out there have been caught up in the web of having lost hope in the midst of all that’s happening around them, with many quite uncertain about what their future holds.

To a patient, a dentist can mean someone they like, know, appreciate, and trust. But one of the most defining factors behind your relationship with your patients is how you are an agent of hope to them. You, as their dentist, welcome them, guiding them to face whatever challenges they are going through, while also reassuring them, in many ways by helping them become a better version of themselves than what they were in the past. To them, you are a beacon of hope.

However, we are all humans and we tend to forget the position we are in, and the capabilities we have within ourselves to influence and make a difference, not just in others’ lives but also our own.

In challenging times it might become difficult to inspire yourself to manifest these abilities in you, so we have brought in some amazing world-class dentists who will share some amazing thoughts and insights on how you can work towards a better future than before.

The Leaders who will be sharing their messages in the podcast episode today are: 

  • Dr. Paul Henny
  • Dr. David Hornbrook
  • Fred Joyal
  • Dr. Nikkie Green
  • Dr. Rod Gore
  • Dr. Mac McDonald
  • Dr. Ryan Lepore

There is an opportunity in every moment if you decide to look for it. I hope this episode will help you do just that.
