Gerilyn M. Alfe, DMD, MBA, will present Think Like a CEO to Keep Practicing Dentistry! Cocktails begin at 6 p.m. followed by dinner and the program at 7 p.m.

Speaker Bio:
Dr. Gerilyn Alfe graduated from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in 1993, magna cum laude. She was a practicing cosmetic dentist and practice owner for 25 years. She ran an independent, Fee-For-Service office for 21 years. In addition to her private practice, she worked as an author, speaker, hands-on instructor, and mentor to thousands of dentists for numerous dental companies. Because of her experience, she can identify with many of her clients’ daily challenges related to running a successful dental practice. After selling her last practice, she completed her MBA through the Jack Welch Management Institute and graduated as a Distinguished Welch Scholar with Honors.

Her goal as an executive business coach is to help her dentist clients navigate the changing healthcare industry and find joy in building a winning practice, team, and lifestyle. Her key differentiators include: real world experience as clinical dentist, practice owner, business manager, and team leader; historical success with clients experiencing double-digit growth to their top and bottom line in less than 12 months; expertise in implementing systems, perfecting verbal and communication skills, team building, and marketing. Dr. Alfe has worked with a business coach, herself, for years. She understands the power of having someone in your corner to hold you accountable when necessary and to help you celebrate your wins. To those who may be skeptical of the benefits of working with a coach, she often says, “Even Tom Brady had a coach!”

• The critical role of practice culture in driving success
