The bridge you're walking across has missing planks. Every step feels uncertain, progress slows to a crawl, and you might even consider turning back. This perfectly captures what running a dental practice feels like when critical systems are missing or broken.Most dental practices struggle with five fundamental gaps: inadequate onboarding that never fully integrates team members into the culture; collections and financing systems that allow money to leak through cracks; chaotic scheduling that creates daily stress instead of predictable production; case acceptance approaches that focus solely on the dentist rather than leveraging the entire team; and leadership systems that fail to create accountability and coordination. The consequences manifest as constant frustration, team turnover, and profitability challenges.Take Control of Your Practice and Your Life We help dentists take more time off while making more money through systematization, team empowerment, and creating leadership teams.

BONUS: Captain David Marquet's Guide to Becoming Your Own Best Coach In this BONUS episode, we dive deep into Captain David Marquet's latest book "Distancing: How Great Leaders Reframe to Make Better Decisions." Captain Marquet, renowned for transforming the USS Santa Fe from the worst-performing submarine to the best in the fleet, shares powerful insights on psychological distancing and how stepping outside ourselves can dramatically improve our decision-making abilities. Make sure you also check the previous episode with Captain Marquet, where we discuss the key lessons from his book: Turn The Ship Around! A very often referred book on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast.  The Genesis of Distancing "What I really needed was people to think, not just comply, not just do what they were told." Captain Marquet traces the origins of his distancing concept back to his submarine experience. After realizing that giving orders gave people "a pass on thinking," he developed a system where crew members would say "I intend to..." instead of waiting for commands. However, he noticed that officers would sometimes make decisions that were good for their department but not optimal for the submarine as a whole. This led him to ask different questions - like having the engineer sit in the captain's chair and think from that perspective. The breakthrough came when he started asking himself, "What would my six-month-from-now self want me to do today?" The Three B's of Better Decision Making "The problem with your decision making isn't gathering more market data. The problem is your internal, your egoic biases that just come from the fact that you view the decision from inside your own head." Marquet introduces the "3 B's of better decision making": Be someone else, be somewhere else, be sometime else. These psychological distancing techniques help overcome the limitations of our "immersed self" - the version of us trapped in immediate pressures, deadlines, and ego-driven concerns. When we distance ourselves temporally (thinking as our future self), socially (thinking as someone else), or spatially (imagining being somewhere else), we access what psychologists call our "distanced self," which aligns more closely with our ideal self and core values. The Jeff Bezos Example "When I'm 80, when am I going to regret more? Am I going to regret trying this idea and failing or not trying the idea?" Marquet shares how Jeff Bezos used temporal distancing when deciding whether to leave his Wall Street job to start Amazon. By imagining himself at 80 looking back, Bezos was able to see past immediate concerns like his upcoming bonus and rent payments to focus on what would truly matter in the long term. This shift in perspective transforms how our brain processes decisions - from viewing them as "scary change" to considering them through the lens of potential regret. Practical Applications for Teams "I want you to imagine that a team in Singapore is going to work on the same kind of project next month. What would we want them to know?" The distancing technique has powerful applications for team retrospectives and decision-making. Instead of asking "What could we have done better?" (which triggers defensiveness), Marquet suggests reframing as helping a future team in another location. This approach employs all three B's simultaneously:  Be someone else: Helping another team rather than critiquing yourself  Be sometime else: Focusing on future improvement rather than past mistakes Be somewhere else: Imagining the team in a different location removes personal attachment Becoming Your Own Coach "You become your own friend, you become your own coach." Marquet emphasizes that leaders cannot effectively coach others until they learn to coach themselves. He challenges leaders who want their teams to change by asking, "What have you changed recently?" The coach perspective provides the elevated view needed to see the whole field rather than being immersed in the immediate action. Like a sports coach who doesn't feel the hits but sees the strategy, our "coach self" can provide objective guidance to our "player self." The Language of Leadership "The people who said 'you can do it' exerted more energy and felt better than the people who said 'I can do it.'" Building on his previous work in "Leadership is Language," Marquet demonstrates how changing from first-person to second or third-person language creates psychological distance. Studies show that athletes performing endurance tests while saying "you can do it" outperformed those saying "I can do it." This simple language shift helps separate us from the immersed self and provides a slight but meaningful perspective advantage. The Intel Transformation Story "What if we got fired? And the board brought in new people to run the company. What would the new people do?" Marquet shares the pivotal moment when Intel founders Gordon Moore and Andy Grove used distancing to make the crucial decision to abandon memory chips for microprocessors. For a year, they couldn't make this decision because their identity was tied to being "memory chip makers." Only when Grove asked Moore to imagine what new leadership would do were they able to immediately see the obvious answer: focus on microprocessors. This decision saved Intel and created the company we know today. Stopping Time: Planning the Pause "The best thing is you have to plan the pauses. The best case is when you plan the pause ahead of time." Marquet explains that once we're in our reactive, immersed state, it's nearly impossible to climb out without System 2 override. The solution is to schedule pauses proactively. When teams know there will be scheduled reflection points, they're more willing to commit to execution while also noting areas for improvement. This is why agile methodologies are so effective - they build in regular pause points for reflection and course correction. Overcoming Defensive Reactions "Your brain will curate the input - it will always choose to pay attention to things that prove you're right and ignore things that prove you wrong." The immersed self creates defensive reactions during evaluations, retrospectives, or any situation involving performance assessment. Our brains naturally filter information to support our existing self-image, remembering successes while forgetting failures. Distancing techniques help bypass these defensive mechanisms by removing the ego from the equation, allowing for more objective analysis and better decision-making. Acting Your Way to New Thinking "We act our way to new thinking. You want to do different things. We act your way to a new mindset. You don't mindset your way to new actions." Marquet concludes with a crucial insight about change: behavior change leads to mindset change, not the other way around. Rather than trying to convince people to think differently, leaders should focus on creating small, actionable changes that gradually shift thinking patterns. His "Leadership Nudges" concept embodies this approach, offering brief, practical tools that teams can implement immediately.

Welcome to the start of our SIX PART SERIES, "Communication Lies Leaders Believe." In this episode, Tammy J. Bond tackles a common and costly workplace myth: the idea that an employee who says they're "overwhelmed" simply needs more support. Tammy reveals: when a direct report can't articulate their workload, they're not overwhelmed—they're underperforming and avoiding accountability. Tammy provides a practical, no-nonsense strategy to get to the root of the problem. She introduces the "Squeeze Technique," a method to transform excuses into ownership. It's about providing the clarity, structure, and accountability people need to succeed. Tammy challenges leaders to stop avoiding tough conversations and start leading with clear expectations, because overwhelmed does not equal accountability. Key Takeaways for Leaders Overwhelmed is the New Excuse: Recognize that "overwhelmed" is often used as a blanket statement to avoid accountability. It's up to you to dig deeper. The Squeeze Technique: Apply this strategy to press for specifics when an employee claims to be overwhelmed. Ask for details on their daily tasks, resources, and time management. Stop Babysitting: Your job isn't to put on a magic cape and solve their problems. It's to provide the clarity, tools, and accountability for them to solve it themselves. Avoidance vs. Support: Don't confuse avoiding a hard conversation with "keeping the peace." Your avoidance is actually enabling learned helplessness and resentment. Victim Mindset: The victim narrative ("I can't do it all") must be transformed into a framework of personal ownership and responsibility. The Power of Documentation: Use frequent, short meetings and follow-up emails to document expectations and deliverables. This serves as a foundation for accountability or necessary escalation. Ownership through Reflection: Flip an employee's excuses by asking them to reflect on their role in the situation, turning their focus from external factors to internal responsibility. In This Episode, You'll Learn How to identify when an employee is underperforming versus truly overwhelmed. The "Squeeze Technique" to get specifics and expose lack of follow-through. Why avoiding difficult conversations about performance leads to resentment and drama. Practical steps for setting clear expectations and daily check-ins to foster accountability. How to use documentation to support your leadership decisions and escalation processes.

Are You Standing on Your Leadership Head? Picture this: You're wondering why your leadership feels like swimming upstream while wearing concrete boots. The answer might be simpler (and more embarrassing) than you think. You've taken three of the most powerful leadership principles and turned them completely backwards. The Leadership Reality Check Drawing from Stephen Covey's timeless Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, this episode exposes how emerging leaders – especially those caught in middle management limbo – are unknowingly sabotaging their own success. We're talking about smart, capable people who are doing everything "right" but getting everything wrong. The Three Habits That Make or Break Leaders 1. Be Proactive (Not Predictive) Stop trying to guess what your boss wants and start owning your responses Self-awareness beats people-pleasing every single time The game-changing difference between responding and reacting 2. Begin with the End in Mind (Not Written in Stone) Your vision is a compass, not commandments carved in granite Why followers need to see your destination, not just your daily detours The trust-killing mistake leaders make when changing course 3. Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood (Not to Be Right) The family dinner table debate trap that destroys workplace relationships Why "tell me more" are the three most powerful words in leadership How buying permission to be heard transforms adversaries into collaborators The Bottom Line Leadership isn't about having all the answers – it's about asking better questions, owning your choices, and creating space for others to contribute their genius. When you flip these three habits right-side up, you stop swimming upstream and start riding the current toward leadership success. Tune In For: The "compass not commandments" approach to vision setting A simple phrase that opens communication floodgates Why self-awareness is the ultimate leadership superpower Real talk about middle management frustrations (looking at you, retail warriors) The trust equation that determines whether followers stick or split Ready to stop doing leadership upside down? Your team (and your sanity) will thank you.

Great leadership isn't always comfortable – sometimes, it hurts. Not physically, but emotionally. In this episode of the LEITWOLF® Podcast, Stefan speaks about a side of leadership that is rarely talked about – yet many leaders know it well: making decisions that disappoint, speaking truths others avoid, and standing firm when it's unpopular. You'll learn why uncomfortable decisions are often a sign of strong leadership, how to give difficult feedback in a way that truly helps, and why it's essential to talk about these moments with other leaders. Leadership can hurt – especially when it drives real change. But that's often exactly when the most important things happen: growth, clarity, and trust. ––– Do you like the LEITWOLF® Leadership podcast?

Team Behind the Scenes is the series within the LEITWOLF® Podcast where Stefan speaks once a month with a member of his team about real leadership experiences, personal mindset, and shared projects. In this episode, his guest is Andrea Berroth – HR expert, long-time collaborator and trusted companion. Together, they talk about leadership that doesn't empower but unsettles. About psychological safety, which is far more than a buzzword. And about the responsibility leaders carry to become aware of their impact – and to change it. An honest conversation about courage, leadership mindset, and the art of replacing fear with trust. ––– // LINKEDIN Andrea: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andreaberroth/ Do you like the LEITWOLF® Leadership podcast?

Here's what we explore: The invisible cost of always being ‘the capable one' What it really feels like to outgrow your own success How to let your soul lead—especially when your head says, “Just keep going” This is the unfiltered, Beyond the CEO moment so many women never get to speak out loud—but you'll hear it here.

This one hit deep. I'm talking to a founder who's done everything “right.” Built the business. Achieved success. Carried the weight. But now… she's just tired. Tired of running, of holding it all together, of pretending she still wants what she once did. She thought we'd be talking about planning and priorities. Instead, we had one of the most honest conversations I've ever had with a woman who's quietly—and bravely—acknowledging that her current chapter is over. In this episode, we talk about: The invisible weight of being everyone's go-to What it means when your ambition fades—but your worth hasn't Why admitting you're done is the first brave step toward your next beautiful beginning This is Beyond the CEO work in real time.

This episode is for the woman who's built a thriving business—and still hears a quiet voice inside asking, “Is this really it?” My client came to this session frustrated with herself for not trusting her team or delegating enough. But what we uncovered wasn't about delegation at all. It was about the fear of stepping away. The pressure to keep going. And the guilt that creeps in when you consider wanting more for yourself… or maybe something entirely different. In this deeply moving conversation, you'll hear: What's really behind the resistance to let go (hint: it's not about your team) The hidden grief and identity loss so many women feel as they evolve beyond the CEO role Why wanting more space, more freedom, or a different life doesn't make you ungrateful—it makes you ready This is the kind of conversation most women are having only in their heads. But here, we say it out loud. And that's where the real shift begins. Listen now—and if it speaks to you, leave a review and share it with a woman you admire who might be in her own what's next moment.

Feeling trapped in the operatory five days a week? Imagine reclaiming an entire workday without sacrificing income or patient care. That's exactly what today's episode delivers—a practical blueprint for dental practice owners who want to work smarter, not harder.I break down five seemingly small schedule adjustments that combine to create massive efficiency gains. From the simple act of staggering assistant lunches (yes, you can eat quickly!) to training your team to handle crown deliveries up to the final cementation, these strategies address the hidden time thieves lurking in your daily operations. By implementing these changes, you'll reclaim a staggering 16 hours of production time weekly while simultaneously increasing your hourly production value.The math is compelling: just two crown appointments daily at $1,500 each generates $3,000 daily—that's $430 per hour or nearly $331,000 annually. Combined with your newly reclaimed production time, this approach transforms practice economics while reducing your chairside hours. These aren't theoretical concepts—they're the exact strategies I've implemented in my own multi-doctor practice and helped countless coaching clients adopt with remarkable results.This episode reveals the foundation of what makes a "three-day dentist" possible. You'll discover how seemingly minor inefficiencies compound into major production losses, and more importantly, how addressing them systematically can revolutionize both your practice and your quality of life. Ready to spend more time with family, pursue other interests, or simply reduce the physical toll of clinical dentistry? These practical strategies offer the concrete pathway many dentists have been searching for.Want to implement these systems with expert guidance?

If you're serious about building a high-trust, high-retention culture, personalization matters. But how do you scale those handwritten notes, thoughtful gifts, and one-on-one moments without burning yourself—or your team—out? In this episode of Recruiting Conversations, I walk through a step-by-step framework to institutionalize care inside your culture. I'll show you how to move from random acts of kindness to intentional rhythms of significance that don't just look good—they build loyalty and attract better talent. Episode Breakdown [00:00] Introduction – The leadership challenge: how to personalize value adds without burning out. [01:00] Personalization vs. Automation – Why automated systems can't replace intentional human touchpoints. [01:30] Step 1: Shift the Mindset – From occasional gestures to systemized care moments. [02:00] Step 2: Create a Shared Playbook – Give your team a menu of high-touch actions to draw from: Handwritten notes Milestone cards Book gifts Welcome kits Video shoutouts [03:00] Step 3: Assign Ownership – Build a “care team” and give them freedom, budget, and responsibility to lead the rhythm. [03:30] Step 4: Tie It to Culture – Reinforce your values through the touchpoints. Show people what “living the mission” looks like. [04:30] Step 5: Track It – Use a Google Sheet, Trello board, or CRM tab to log every gesture, who received it, and why. [05:30] Final Shift – You're not scaling volume. You're scaling intentionality—doing the right thing for the right people at the right time. [06:00] Final Challenge – Define your five core touchpoints. Then pick one way to systematize them this week. Key Takeaways Systemize the Heartbeat – Make personalized leadership part of your culture's rhythm, not an afterthought. Give the Team a Menu – Most people want to care—they just need ideas and structure. Build a Culture of Care – Highlight moments that align with your values. Make it part of the identity. Track It to Scale It – Thoughtful doesn't mean chaotic. Structure creates sustainability. Lead with Intentionality – You don't need more volume. You need more moments that actually matter. In a world full of automation and shortcuts, the leaders who lead with care always stand out—and they build teams that last. Want help creating a high-touch leadership rhythm inside your team?

Ever have one of those nights where you're exhausted but someone talks you into staying up anyway—and it turns into the most fun night ever? That's exactly what happened when my family convinced me to play our ridiculous Italian-themed drinking game called "Garlic and Oil" at the lake house.The truth is that strong practice cultures aren't built through mission statements—they're created through shared experiences, inside jokes, and rituals that bond your team together. People connect through experiences more than tasks. In my practice, we've developed unique cultural elements like our appreciation token system, morning huddle rituals, and our notorious "P2P" feedback approach where team members literally ask, "Can I pee on you for a second?" before offering constructive feedback.

What do you do when a recruit suddenly brings up a non-compete, emotional loyalty, or fear around leaving their current role? This is one of the trickiest moments in recruiting, and how you handle it will either build trust or break it. In this episode of Recruiting Conversations, I walk through the posture, language, and mindset shifts that will help you navigate sensitive transitions with professionalism and integrity. This isn't about pushing people over the line, it's about becoming the kind of leader people feel safe following. Episode Breakdown [00:00] Introduction – Why most leaders freeze when a recruit mentions a non-compete or emotional hesitation. [01:00] Acknowledge the Weight – Before anything else, validate what they're feeling. Don't dismiss it. [01:30] Lead With Empathy – A simple phrase: “Let's slow down and walk through this the right way.” [02:00] Stay in Your Lane – Don't give legal advice. Offer to connect them with a trusted attorney. [02:30] The Professional Position – Show maturity by prioritizing their well-being over your urgency. [03:30] Emotional Loyalty Is Real – Sometimes it's not legal, it's personal. Help them reframe it without shame. [04:00] Long-Term Perspective – Ask: “Ten years from now, what do you want to be proud of?” [05:00] Go Slow to Go Deep – Allow them the time they need. No pressure. Just partnership. [05:30] Build the Right Reputation – Integrity attracts. Your brand is built in moments like this. Key Takeaways Validate Their Fear – Just because you think it's minor doesn't mean it doesn't feel major to them. Offer Support, Not Solutions – Be a guide, not a legal expert. Connect them to the right help. Honor Their Loyalty – Don't fight it. Use it as a mirror of their values and a reason to lead them well. Ask Bigger Questions – Help them think long-term. Align the next move with their vision, not their fear. Integrity Is Your Advantage – Leaders who slow down and protect the recruit build brands that attract. You don't need to push to win. You just need to walk with people in the moments that matter. Handle transitions with care, and you won't just close more recruits, you'll become a leader worth following.

We've all been there: the first meeting goes great, the recruit leans in, there's chemistry... then silence. Suddenly, every follow-up feels like you're annoying them. In this episode of Recruiting Conversations, I break down how to pre-frame your follow-ups with value, so you stop chasing and start leading. When done right, follow-up isn't a disruption, it's a service. I'll show you how to turn that awkward “just checking in” into a trusted leadership moment that builds momentum and creates future hires. Episode Breakdown [00:00] Introduction – The recruiting tension we've all felt: great meeting, then ghosted. [01:00] Why Follow-Ups Fall Flat – You didn't set the stage. No frame = no permission. [01:30] Pre-Framing the Follow-Up – Plant the seed during the first conversation. Ask if you can share something valuable in the weeks ahead. [02:30] Asset #1: Books – Send a thoughtful book with a handwritten note that matches their challenge. [03:30] Asset #2: Event Invites – Pre-frame exclusive invites to leadership calls, masterminds, or town halls. [04:00] Asset #3: Custom Content – Send a podcast, quote, or framework tied to their specific pain point. [04:30] Asset #4: Pure Gratitude – A thank-you note that affirms their leadership plants powerful seeds. [05:00] Build a Value Library – Create a system to store and deploy assets: books, podcasts, events, insights. [06:00] Final Challenge – Stop winging follow-up. Lead with intentionality, and watch your pipeline warm up fast. Key Takeaways Pre-Frame the Next Touchpoint – Get permission early so follow-up feels like service, not pursuit. Lead With Value – Use books, events, and content that reinforce your leadership and build trust. Customize Your Follow-Up – Reference real pain points from the conversation. Show them you listened. Systematize It – Keep a library of resources so you're never scrambling for the next move. You're Not a Nuisance – When your follow-up is relevant and intentional, it becomes a leadership moment. The best recruiters aren't chasing. They're investing. Start pre-framing your follow-ups, and you'll stop feeling like a salesperson and start being seen as a trusted guide.

Let's talk about one of the most powerful, and most underused, tools in recruiting: events and masterminds. Not the big splashy hotel-ballroom kind. I'm talking about strategic, intimate gatherings that position you as a leader, not a recruiter. In this episode of Recruiting Conversations, I walk you through how to host the kind of experience that attracts high-level talent without ever pitching your opportunity. You'll learn how to move from chasing candidates to curating conversations that build trust, momentum, and long-term recruiting wins. Episode Breakdown [00:00] Introduction – The overlooked power of events and masterminds in modern recruiting. [01:00] Why Pitches Fall Flat – Top talent doesn't want another comp plan meeting. They want meaningful conversation. [01:30] Step 1: Solve a Real Problem – Create a topic around what producers actually care about: margin compression, referrals, personal brand, burnout, AI tools. [02:30] Step 2: Invite Strategically – Avoid salesy language. Use this: “No pitch. Just great conversation with people who are growing.” [03:30] Step 3: Facilitate Like a Pro – You don't need to be the expert. Ask great questions, spotlight others, and guide the room. [04:30] The Follow-Up Strategy – After the event, send a resource or personalized note that connects to what they shared. [05:00] Real Story – How one client hosted a 6-person breakfast that led to a recruit texting her days later asking for a conversation, without ever mentioning her company. [05:30] Final Challenge – Build a mastermind in the next 30 days. Make it meaningful. Let value open the recruiting door. Key Takeaways Stop Pitching. Start Curating. – Recruiting isn't about features. It's about creating spaces where people want to belong. Solve Real Problems – When you focus on what producers are struggling with, they'll lean in. Be the Host, Not the Hero – Great facilitators create rooms others want to return to. Recruit Without Recruiting – Share resources. Follow up with intention. Lead the relationship. Events Build Trust at Scale – You're not chasing people. You're inviting them into a conversation worth joining. If you want to win the top 20%, stop sounding like every other recruiter. Lead something real. Build something valuable. And create rooms where leaders want to sit. Want help building your first mastermind or recruiting event?
