Welcome to The Savvy Dentist Podcast with Dr. Jesse Green, where we explore the intersection of dentistry, business, and personal growth to help you create a practice and a life you love.

In this episode of The Savvy Dentist Podcast, Dr. Jesse Green dives into a conversation that’s as relevant to the dental chair as it is to the boardroom. Whether you’re leading a practice, managing a team, or just trying to keep your head above water in a fast-changing world, this episode is going to speak directly to you.

Dr. Jesse Green is joined by a truly remarkable guest - Dr. Paige Williams. Paige is a leadership expert, author, and corporate speaker who brings a wealth of knowledge around resilience, positive leadership, and how we can unlock our own potential as well as that of those around us. With a PhD in Organisational Behaviour and deep experience working with leaders across education, business, and government, Paige has a gift for making complex psychological concepts not just digestible … but actionable.

In this conversation, we unpack her work on becoming “AntiFragile” … the powerful idea that we can grow stronger through uncertainty, challenge, and change. She’ll share practical insights into how we, as practice owners and professionals, can navigate stress, build thriving teams, and lead with purpose, even when the pressure is on. This isn’t about fluffy feel-good advice … it’s grounded in science and delivered with heart.

So whether you’re on your morning walk, driving to work, or taking a rare moment to yourself, we invite you to lean in and soak up the wisdom from someone who truly gets what it takes to lead well in tough times ... Dr. Paige Williams.
