"You really can have the successful practice you desire; enjoy going to work each day, have a patient base that happily refers to you and enjoy worry-free time away from the office." - Mary Fisher-Day "Hiring Mary as my Dental Consultant was the best thing I ever did for my Practice. She helped me reach 5 and 10 year goals in less than 2 years. Her ability to evaluate my Practice, find the problem areas and address those areas with results, in a very short period of time, amazed me. I actually have a life outside the office and the financial freedom I hoped to have 10 years from now." -Dr. James Richardson Before hiring Mary, we had no idea where our overhead stood. We knew something was out of whack but didn't know where to begin to find the problem. Mary evaluated our overhead, pointed out areas that were in line and areas that needed work. With her help we now have systems in place to monitor our overhead and have the knowledge and tools to keep it in line. In addition, we have fine-tuned our business office and have collections consistently at 98% or above. Our recall percentage is well above the norm and our Hygiene department is more efficient and productive than we ever thought it could be. It's nice to have a competent, dependable Consultant who listens and will tailor Management for the individual needs of the practice." -Doctors Doug and Cathy Smith

Recognizing and complying with the twelve laws of leadership will directly impact you being a better leader more powerful, more thoughtful, more commanding, more connected. Following the twelve laws of leadership will enable you to convert your vision into reality. Ive sat in the CEO chair for many years and leadership is a complex and ever changing challenge. I believe that often the hardest thing to do is to fi nd the simplicity that lies beyond complexity. Marc has done it here with his laws of leadership. Read it, highlight and keep it close at hand because you will be back to it again and again (Stephen C. Bilt, CEO, OneSmile, LLC & Smile Brands Inc.). Dr. Cooper has created a superb skeleton upon which a dynamic, charismatic, and effective leader can be built. Within each law is created a new muscle, nerve connection and vital vessel connecting each to another. The whole vision of leadership in this century will rest upon these laws. Your success is now; the twelve laws are the wheels to being motion (Dr. Robert E. Chavez, chairman, ARCH Orthodontics). This will be the leaders bedside bookone to go back to daily, revisiting the 12 laws and their influence, as part of a daily reflection on decisions and their outcomes. Leadership takes effort and commitment, and the 12 Laws of Leadership are the challenges to anyone aspiring to better leadershipthe pieces of the leadership grit puzzle put together in a succinct and powerful book (Dr. Andrea Shepperson, dental clinician, educator, and clinical consultant, Lumino The Dentists). Its empowering to have information on how to grow a successful group practice. However, this information is useless without effective leadership. Dr. Marc Cooper s Twelve Laws of Leadership provides clear guidance and direction to become a better leader. I have found it helpful to periodically go back and review these laws to ensure Im on track as a leader in running my endodontic enterprise (Dr. Ron Taylor, founder and partner, Advanced Root Canal Specialists).

USA TODAY AND WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER You’ve heard the advice: If you want to live longer, eat healthy foods and exercise daily. But there’s a third piece of the puzzle, and it can add 10 to 15 years to your life. It’s been right under your nose this whole time—literally. Your mouth is the gateway to your body and is the most critical organ for improving your health, from childhood onward. Everything in the human life cycle is related to the mouth: fertility, childbirth, sleeping soundly, success in school, finding a mate, getting a job, psychological well-being, avoiding chronic or systemic disease, and aging well. Your mouth is a window into the health of your body as a whole; from its microbiome to its structure, it impacts your physical and mental wellness in countless ways. Unfortunately, the mouth-body connection has been largely neglected by American medicine . . . until now. If Your Mouth Could Talk is the result of over 20 years of firsthand experience and research by renowned orthodontist and dentofacial orthopedist, Dr. Kami Hoss. In this groundbreaking work, Dr. Hoss connects the dots between oral health and whole-body health, offering a roadmap to a longer, more successful future for you and your family. This isn’t a book about brushing and flossing—or any of the other standard advice you get from your dentist. Instead, you’ll hear about how to protect your mouth’s microbiome, the effect of diet, the relationship between oral structure and sleep problems, how to breathe better, and more. This is an in-depth guide for people who want to take control of their health to the fullest extent possible—who want to understand how their mouth contributes to their overall health and quality of life, and what they can do to better care for it. If your mouth could talk, it would tell you about the condition of your entire life. Time to start listening.
