Episode 103: You Blow My Mind, Hey Ricki!: Ricki Braswell on Leadership Training

There is always a need for good leadership in dental laboratories. Ricki Braswell talks about taking a current leader or a technician turned leader and working with them to excel at their new role. Ricki Braswell was a co-executive director of the NADL for years and fell in love with our industry. She took that love and became the CEO of the Pankey Institute where she made the dental technician a key part of the program. Now Ricki has taken her skill and experience to dental practices and to dental laboratories. She talks about some wonderful ideas to help your lab create great leaders and great teams. March 26 – 28 Dental Laboratory Association Texas Conference – Grapevine, Tx Alien Milling Technologies is a cutting-edge Dental Milling Center known for using the latest methods and technologies in milling top dental prosthetics. They can help your lab by milling everything, like crowns, abutments, partials, guards, and even titanium bars. Best part is that they are all milled right here in the USA.
