Show Notes
What if one of the biggest challenges in dentistry isn't clinical at all?
In this episode of Beyond the Prophy®, Jasmin Haley sits down with leadership coach, educator, and CEO of Optimum Leadership Academy, Carol Dahlke, to explore why communication is the skill that shapes every successful dental team.
Drawing from more than four decades in dentistry, Carol shares why leadership isn't something people simply grow into, it must be intentionally developed. Together, they discuss how self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and curiosity can transform workplace culture, strengthen relationships, and reduce burnout.
The conversation also takes a deeply personal turn as Carol reflects on the profound leadership lessons she's learned from her daughter, Krista, whose life has taught her patience, resilience, respect, and the importance of preserving another person's dignity.
