On today’s episode, Dr. Mark Costes sits down live from the Thrive Live exhibition hall with the dynamic Katherine Eitel Belt, founder and CEO of LionSpeak. Catherine shares her remarkable journey from dental assistant to international speaker and communications coach, emphasizing the transformative power of language, leadership, and clear communication. 

Together, they explore the framework behind courageous conversations, how to make a clear invitation to your team, and why many dental leaders feel held hostage by their staff—often due to a lack of tools, not leadership potential. Catherine unpacks her A.R.C.H. model for tough talks and gives us a preview of her upcoming book, Something’s Got to Change. This episode is a must-listen for any practice owner or manager looking to elevate their culture and lead with clarity and compassion.
