JOIN KIRK BEHRENDT IN HIS PRIVATE "To The Top" Study Club

Be prepared to reach new heights! This exclusive study club gives incredible dentists and leaders the opportunity, once per quarter, to get OUT of their practice to work ON their practice. Spend the day surrounded by like minded dentists, and inspired thinkers, striving to be their best. To The Top Study Club brings the dentists in the ACT Dental community together, in the same room, fostering friendships, mentorships, and the amazing ability to and help one another learn and grow.

**Q1 will focus on - Unlocking Alignment: Lead with Purpose, Speak with Impact

Together we’ll uncover how to align around what matters most—from your vision and core values to the conversations happening in operatories and throughout the practice. Practices that thrive are aligned on verbal skills that drive value, build systems that reinforce your identity, and create a communication culture that elevates every interaction!

Objectives:

1. Align your team around a shared vision and core values to strengthen engagement and buy-in.

2. Align team communication to create consistent and trust-building patient experiences.

3. Confidently navigate and overcome patient objections using purpose-driven language.

4. Apply alignment strategies across communication, systems, and leadership rhythms to drive consistency and clarity.

** All VIRTUAL registrants will receive a digital copy of the workbook.
