In this inspiring episode of Growing Your Dental Business, host Jacquelyn Hurley sits down with Miranda Beeson, MS, BSDH, Director of Education and Lead Practice Coach at ACT Dental. With over two decades of experience in clinical care, administration, and leadership coaching, Miranda shares how dental practices can create true alignment, develop smart habits, and foster a culture that leads to both profitability and joy.

Miranda draws powerful parallels between life on the volleyball court and success in the dental office, reminding us that when every player knows their role, trusts their team, and stays aligned with shared goals, the results are unstoppable.

Together, Jacquelyn and Miranda unpack:

• What alignment really looks like inside a thriving practice, and how a lack of it holds teams back
• Smart, simple habits dental teams can implement right away to reduce stress and increase performance
• How education, data, and coaching help transform practices from surviving to truly thriving

This conversation is full of encouragement, practical wisdom, and tangible steps to help your team move forward with confidence and purpose.
