Julie's Mentor Philosophy:  " By momentum shifting the Dental Assistant's focus on what they do best with what they have, instead of what they don't have or they don't do well. Jules's non-conventional method of mentoring is creating fun, engaging and educating live lectures or programs based on each dental assistant's learning style (based on the VARK Model).

Through interactive mentoring with live webinars, hands-on lectures, virtual from the op, one on one or in-office workshops for the dental assistant and team, Jules can help them shift the momentum.
