The Why Behind The Boss
I have found an incredible balance of working in a career that I love, time to take care of myself and family and financial growth that I have never achieved working the tradition model. However my heart breaks for the many dental hygienist that I encounter that are burned out, feel unappreciated, or just feel stagnant in the professional growth.
Moreover, many hygienist have asked me about how I work, this lead me to share what I have learned in my book The Dental Hygiene Boss, which chronicles my journey to becoming my own boss.
