The Dental Head Start Podcast #49 – Entrepreneurialism and improvement with Dr Cigdem Kipel
“Real growth begins at the edge of your comfort zone”.
It is easy to look at the most accomplished dentists, especially when thy’re still relatively early in their career and to think thy’re different, they’re don’t have the struggles that we deal with.
But of course, they do. And one of the things i love most about this podcast is the ability to share the journeys, the lessons and the real life experiences of those who inspire us.
Dr Cigdem Kipel easily fits this description. A highly accomplished dentist, a thought leader, an entrepreneur, Cigdem has a achieved a lot in a short window of time.
Often she shares communication advice, which you can find in our WIWIK podcast (Links). Today, we talk about her journey, the challenges, the break through moments and the advice she wishes she had as a new graduate.
I really enjoyed this motivating interview. Her passion is palpable, I hope it rubs off on you too!
