Have you ever had a moment in your practice where you did everything right, but something still felt off?
In this episode of The Dental Handoff, Dr. Kelly Tanner sits down with Kristin Haynes to talk about the real, unspoken experiences happening inside dental practices every day.
From subtle bias to moments that are hard to explain, this conversation explores how those experiences shape the way we see people, lead teams, and show up in our careers.
Kristin shares how growing up feeling different gave her a unique ability to read situations and understand people on a deeper level, something that became one of her greatest strengths in dentistry.
This isn’t just about dentistry. It’s about perspective, awareness, and the experiences that define how we lead.
If you’ve ever felt judged, misunderstood, or out of place, this conversation will resonate with you.
You’ll learn:
- How to turn difficult experiences into strengths
- Why awareness is a leadership superpower
- The role of bias in everyday dental interactions
- How to better understand your team and patients
- Why feeling different can actually give you an advantage
