Welcome to the latest issue of The Profitable Dentist! This time, we’re diving into a topic that’s near and dear to me—the power of coaching and consulting to transform dental practices. If you’ve ever wondered whether investing in a coach is worth it, let me assure you: it absolutely is.

Running a dental practice isn’t just about clinical skills. It’s about leadership, team management, and navigating the daily challenges of running a business. That’s where a great coach can make all the difference. Coaches bring fresh perspectives; help uncover blind spots and give you actionable strategies to overcome obstacles and grow your practice. It’s like having a trusted partner who’s fully invested in your success.

This issue is extra special because we’re shining a spotlight on Lois Banta, an icon in the world of dental coaching and consulting. Lois has spent more than 45 years helping dentists and their teams build amazing practices. She’s the mastermind behind Healthcare Enterprises, Inc. and Amazing Practice Retreats, and she’s known for her ability to make complicated challenges seem manageable. Lois’s work has touched countless lives, empowering dentists to achieve their goals and create thriving practices.

Working with a coach isn’t just an investment in your business—it’s an investment in yourself. It’s about shifting your mindset from just being the “dentist” to stepping confidently into the role of practice leader. With the right guidance, you can navigate the complexities of practice ownership and build a future that’s both profitable and fulfilling.

So, as you read through this issue, think about where you could use a little extra support or a fresh perspective. Whether it’s improving team dynamics, boosting profitability, or just finding more joy in your work, a coach might be the key to unlocking your full potential.

Here’s to learning, growing, and thriving!
