Learn to Lead - A Women Dentists Webinar
2023-03-16 18:30 - 19:30
Presented by Ms. Ricki Braswell, CAE
What, nobody told you that part of being a dentist was going to be tied with being a leader?! That must have been the one class you missed in dental school! Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered.
Leadership is not a trait you are born with. Leadership requires skills that we develop and hone over time. And although it takes some practice, it doesn’t have to be complicated or frustrating, which you will discover during this 60-minute, interactive session when you will learn:

How to set clear expectations for your team members’ performance
Which five areas of performance are key to ensuring success
How to help your team commit to supporting the goals of the practice

If you want to take the first steps to build leadership skills that last, this is a can’t-miss session.
Ricki Braswell, CAE, has spent nearly 20 years serving as an executive for nonprofit dental organizations. Most recently, she was the CEO of The Pankey Institute for approximately eight years. During her time in dentistry, Ricki has had the unique opportunity to learn the laboratory and clinical aspects of the profession. She has successfully turned around organizations that struggled with sustainability in changing markets. In addition, she has turned lagging organizations into thriving organizations and developed teams who demonstrated a commitment and culture which bolstered the organizations. As a former CEO and now a coach, she helps others make the most of their strengths to succeed. Ricki partners with dentists and dental executives to identify what’s really important and to hone the behaviors and thinking that support achieving their personal and practice goals.
