Coaching Passion
Following a full-time career as a clinical dentist, I found myself becoming increasingly interested in the business & people management side of dental practice, as well as the well-being of the practice owner. Having been both an employee & employer, as well as developing systems and processes as part of my own private dental practice, I discovered a passion for systematising and optimising the running of health professional practices.
In addition, I am passionate about helping small businesses build well-functioning and happy teams, which are the backbone of any successful small business. My mission is to help health professionals master the Art of Work/Life Integration, by becoming more effective, efficient and profitable small business leaders, leading to more career and life satisfaction as well as time and financial freedom.
Work Experience
The majority of my 16-year career has been spent in private dental practice, where I worked initially as a locum dentist in various demographic areas, before participating in the first official dental mentorship program in South Africa, after which I went on to start and run my own general dental practice.
I have also spent time working at dental training institutions, where I discovered a love for teaching and sharing my clinical and private practice knowledge, skills and experience. I have done many short courses and programs on topics ranging from mindset and entrepreneurship to online business and marketing.
