Stop Running Your Practice Alone

The Leadership Shift That Changes Everything After Year 5
8:00 – 9:00 PM EST
Complimentary to attend

The grind that built your practice in the early years is the same thing capping your growth now — and most owners don't see it until they're already burned out. Hear from dentists who made the shift from operator to leader, and the specific changes that finally let them step out of every decision. If you've ever thought "the practice can't run without me," this hour is for you.

Meet the Panelists

Two Leaders Who've Made the Shift

Panelist 01Dr. Gerald Kaplan

Dr. Gerald Kaplan

Prosthodontist · Dental Communication Coach · Founder, ProDentalCoach

Dr. Gerald Kaplan is an experienced dentist, practice mentor and founder of ProDental Coach. Drawing on more than five decades in dentistry, he helps dentists navigate the realities of practice that clinical education doesn't always prepare them for — leadership, communication, team culture, patient relationships and decision-making. Rather than prescribing generic solutions, he helps dental professionals step back, gain clarity and identify realistic next steps suited to their practices and values, with a particular interest in how emerging technology like AI can enhance dentistry without diminishing the human connection at the heart of excellent care.

Panelist 02Angela Davis-Sullivan

Angela Davis-Sullivan

Founder & CEO · Adaptive Dental Solutions

Angela Davis-Sullivan is a powerhouse in dental practice growth, blending 30+ years of hands-on experience with bold, results-driven coaching. From chairside to C-suite, she's done it all — and now helps dental teams and leaders rise to their full potential. A dynamic speaker, published author, and trusted voice in top industry publications, Angela transforms practices from the inside out. Her mission? Build strong systems, grow confident leaders, and turn chaos into clarity with heart, humor, and grit.

What We'll Cover

Five Leadership Shifts

01

The "founder trap" — why what built your practice now caps it

The habits and hustle that carried you through year five are the same ones quietly capping growth — and most owners don't notice until burnout forces the issue.

→
02

Your first real #2 hire: who, when, and what to hand over first

How to identify the right second-in-command, the moment to make the hire, and the first responsibilities to release without losing quality.

→
03

From best clinician in the room to best leader in the building

The identity shift that separates dentists who own a job from dentists who own a practice — and how to make it without losing your clinical edge.

→
04

The meeting rhythms that hold a team together when you step back

The daily huddles, weekly reviews, and monthly resets that keep a practice running consistently — even when the owner isn't in the building.

→
05

Letting go without losing control — the hardest part nobody warns you about

How to delegate real authority, set the guardrails that protect your standards, and stay in command of the outcomes instead of every decision.
