From ZenOne Podcast:
Christin’s story is incredible, she has an immense level of emotional intelligence and perseverance. In just a short amount of time she was able to grow from starting as a Dental Assistant, then Dental Hygienist, then to Director of Operations, and to a current position at Lightwave Dental as a VP of Fields Operations. She’s been through some difficult life challenges but with an “ Above and Beyond” attitude and “Always say Yes’ ” she was able to overcome it all. We discuss many subjects including ambitions, how to reward the team, personal life and the cost of achieving goals, work-life balance for the leaders, and much more.
