SUMMARY:Energy Leadership Coaching Group
DESCRIPTION:Dentistry is demanding. Between patient care\, business pressures\, and everything happening outside the office\, it’s easy to feel like you’re constantly reacting to stress instead of leading your life and work the way you want. What if you could understand why certain situations trigger you the way they do—and learn how to respond differently in the moment? \nThat’s the focus of the Energy Leadership Group\, a four-month program\, facilitated by Dr. Laura Brenner\, designed to help dentists better understand how their mindset and stress responses shape their daily experience. \nWhat to Expect \nEnergy Leadership Index (ELI) Assessment\nComplete the ELI to get a personalized look at how your mindset and stress responses shape your daily experience – then learn to shift them for better outcomes. \nMonth 1: Energy Leadership Index (ELI) Assessment Debrief\nUnderstand your ELI results and gain a clear picture of your leadership baseline. \nMonth 2- 4: Practice + Real-Life Application\nBring real-life situations to the table. We’ll identify stress triggers\, challenge limiting beliefs\, and workshop new\, intentional ways to lead with clarity. \nDr. Laura Brenner worked in private practice in Denver for 10 years before leaving clinical dentistry behind for good. As the author of the Lolabees blog and 10 Reasons Your Dentist Probably Hates You Too\, she began connecting with other dentists from around the world who wanted more from their careers. This work inspired her to become a Certified Professional Coach who is passionate about helping dentists find joy in their careers again. \nDates:\nWednesday\, August 19\, 2026\nWednesday\, September 23\, 2026\nWednesday\, October 21\, 2026\nWednesday\, November 18\, 2026 \nTime:\n6:00pm – Dinner\n6:30pm – 8:30 – Discussions \nRate:\n$30 – MDDS Member Dentist\n$60 – Non-Member Dentist \nLocation:\nMountain West Dental Institute\n925 Lincoln St\, Unit B\nDenver\, CO 80203
