I first heard about Chris at the Dentistry Show back in 2011/12 and over the years attended his talks at The Dentistry Show as well as a “Growing the Business” day in Kensington in 2012. I contacted Chris for our latest (2nd) cycle of coaching because: I work at and treat Meadow Walk Dental/The Gallery

For once, that was a Bank Holiday weekend mostly devoted to rest and play. That’s unusual for any freelancer; my normal default is to spend at least half of the Monday in catch up mode. Admittedly I did spend my usual Sunday morning working on personal finances and just had to scratch an itch and

For some this will be the last few days before the “voting is closed” on the last year’s UDA targets, the last few patients are herded through the sheep dip and the financial reckoning takes place.
