Breaking Down Silos and Empowering Team through Collaboration, Innovation, Connection

If your team’s struggling to stay aligned or your office feels stuck in a rut, you’re not alone—and this episode is your wake-up call.

Dental success isn’t just about clinical excellence. It’s about communication, leadership, and team synergy—and that’s exactly what we’re diving into today.
I’m joined by three powerhouse women in dentistry—Lois Banta, Dana Watson, and Emme Sanders—to talk about their latest collaborative event: COLLABricon, the team synergy summit built specifically for dental practices that are ready to evolve.

These women bring decades of experience in leadership, hygiene systems, front office strategy, and coaching—and they’re on a mission to help you build a stronger, more aligned, and more empowered dental team.
In this episode, we cover:
Why team communication often breaks down—and how to fix it


-How COLLABricon is not your average CE event (think: intimate team retreats with powerful coaching)
-What every dentist thinks their team knows vs. what the team actually feels
-How to know if your office is “green, yellow, or red” in key practice areas
-Real stories from the trenches on team burnout, miscommunication, and turning things around
-Plus, a behind-the-scenes look at this year’s Collabricon event in Nashville, TN

Whether you’re a practice owner, hygienist, office manager, or dental assistant—you’ll leave this conversation with renewed inspiration and real tools to strengthen your practice from the inside out.
