Ida Taft

Ida holds a unique position in dental coaching. After 30 years of working in practices, both as practice administrator to a five doctor, fifteen employee practice, and in several clinical assisting positions, her coaching role today is that of our Off-Site Coach.

Utilizing our Practice Exam and Diagnosis System, and asking questions of the doctor on the telephone, with her quiet and supportive approach, she is able find a practice’s main problems as effectively as if she had been on site.

Once the customized Action Plan has been developed, Ida is there to support, cajole, and motivate doctor and team to make the agreed upon changes. She has shown herself to be unsurpassed as a problem solver and mediator, a key component for a consultant to truly help clients reach their target goals. Her coaching greatly benefits from her business background and Leadership and Time Management experience.

Donna Swanson

Donna’s remarkable business and dental management background provides her with a wealth of experience from which her coaching clients truly benefit. Additionally Donna’s extensive accounting knowledge allows her to fully understand a practice’s bottom line enabling her to identify the problems behind the numbers and develop a customized plan to correct the issues.

Donna’s broad experience of the dental software vendors, and how their systems work, allows her to utilize the information from the computer reports so that the client’s Action Plan covers exactly what is truly needed for each practice. Her attention to detail is unsurpassed and the doctor and team have learned that nothing misses her scrutiny.

Compassionate and flexible (but results oriented) best describe Donna. She is a master at adapting to various work environments and a professional when dealing with challenging situations. She is a competent and accomplished teacher and truly excels in her ability to work with clients in the ‘follow my example’ method of coaching, not often seen in today’s teaching environment.
