  • Making me a better leader!

    I just wanted to say thank you to Kirk for making me a better leader by opening my mind to all these great thought leaders in dentistry. Every single one I listen to points out areas for growth(deficiencies!) in my leadership. I only wish this had been around 20 years ago! I wouldn’t have made all the mistakes I have made! But I deeply appreciate all this, it gives me fuel to fan the flame of a leader that everyone wants to follow. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
