Welcome to the Origins Podcast, where we delve into the stories behind remarkable individuals who have carved unique paths in their fields. In this episode, host Sean Hamel sits down with Susan Leckowicz, the CEO of Dental Coaches, a consulting firm in the dental industry.
Susan's journey is a testament to the transformative power of coaching. Having begun her career as a dental hygienist, she spent over 19 years honing her craft. However, it was a chance encounter with a coach that sparked her fascination. Recognizing her potential, this outside observer encouraged Susan to explore coaching herself.

Embracing this passion a couple of years later, Susan transitioned into business development coaching, leveraging her deep understanding of the dental world. Eventually, she forged her own path, establishing Dental Coaches and becoming a sought-after speaker in the industry.

In this enlightening conversation, Susan reflects on the pivotal role coaching plays in professional growth. Drawing from her own experiences, she emphasizes the importance of finding a dentist you truly connect with, highlighting the profound impact it can have on both patient care and practitioner satisfaction.

Join us as we uncover the origins of Susan Leckowicz's journey and explore the broader significance of coaching in dentistry and beyond.
