The Leadership Thread (TLT) proudly launches the Moonshot Program—a proven system designed to drive growth while creating life balance. New members typically see 18 to 24% growth in their first 90 days. But it’s more than just growth—it’s sustainable momentum: patient-centric, referral-driven, and powered by today’s AI tools.
After years of shaping smiles and mentoring dental professionals, the founders of The Leadership Thread (TLT) recognized a need for the Moonshot Program: a place where aspiring specialists take control of their careers and redefine what’s possible in specialty care.
In the Words of Moonshot Program Members
“I used to lead by feel. Now I have structure—and the right people to help me carry it forward. That’s what will sustain this practice.”
“The Moonshot isn’t about me working harder—it’s about building leaders, building systems, and letting those drive the growth. That’s what’s going to take us to the next level.”
When Dr. Sabrina Mancini began implementing new systems, she didn’t expect rapid change. But in just 90 days, her daily production jumped by nearly 30%—driven by one core strategy: empower the team, delegate with intention, and create time for high-value care.
“You can’t be everywhere and do everything. It’s the people we surround ourselves with… that’s the tremendous advantage.”
“We’re just getting started. It’s exciting to see the numbers, but even more exciting to see the team engaged and the systems finally working. We feel like we’re building something real—and sustainable.”
“The best part is that the tools actually reflect what we’re doing. Every time we hit a goal, it’s confirmation. These tools have allowed me to be a spouse, a mother, and a very successful practitioner—without compromising any aspect of my professional or personal life.”
Dr. Joe Laborde and Dr. Sarah Kelly had built a respected periodontics practice—but something was missing. Tardiness was common. Team energy was flat. Accountability was fading. The systems were there—but the soul wasn’t.
Then came the realization: the change had to start at the top.
“The breakthrough didn’t come from new rules—it came from new leadership.”
Through the Moonshot Ambition Program, Joe, Sarah, and their Practice Success Director made a courageous shift—from managing the team to truly leading it.
“I didn’t think there was another level—but there is. And it’s better than I imagined. The clarity, the tools, the community—it’s not about working harder. It’s about leading with more purpose and feeling more alive in what we do.”
“I’m not perfect at implementation—but I’m consistent. And my team is starting to see the why behind all of it.”
“You’re constantly moving from patient to patient, putting out fires, and struggling to find time to focus on growing your practice. The thought of stepping away from clinical duties feels impossible — yet you know something has to change.
By adopting a startup mindset, committing to excellence, and investing in strategic talent allowed us to unlock growth and opportunities we’ve never experienced before.”
Dr. Kayleigh Temple had already built a thriving periodontics practice and a standout facility. When Dr. Aly Kennedy joined her, their combined vision was clear: lead the specialty through excellence in care, culture, and innovation.
But strong partnership alone wasn’t enough. Without shared systems, defined roles, and unified leadership, their bold ambitions risked stagnation. Instead of pushing forward on hope, they paused—and rebuilt with purpose.
“We didn’t just set big goals—we built the leadership, systems, and team alignment to achieve them.”
“I didn’t need to wait for everything to be perfect. Moonshot showed me that when you lead with clarity and purpose, the right people and momentum follow. The energy is contagious—and the growth is real.”
Dr. Brittany Lane, a young periodontist in Indiana, is raising three small children—one just a year old—while running a busy specialty practice. Her husband, a general dentist, runs two dental practice separately. Brittany’s own practice had been growing steadily, but she found herself on cruise control: stuck in the day-to-day doing, constantly fighting to find balance.
“When I came back from The Moonshot Workshop, I told my team—referrals matter. And I just started showing up differently. Honestly, it’s wild. My husband asked me, ‘How did you grow so much?’ And I told him: I stopped coasting. I got present. I got clear. And I started leading.”
“The Moonshot Program is only as good as the community and the people who lead it and drive it forward. We had a great practice. Now, we’re on the path to being extraordinary.”
When a dental practice grounds its strategy in shared values, honors its people, and never loses sight of its patients—scaling becomes not only possible but deeply meaningful.
In one of the most competitive markets in the country, Dr. Josh Mondlick wasn’t content to maintain—he was determined to lead. Already producing at a high level, he knew growth wouldn’t come from effort alone. It would require systems, clarity, and a mindset shift from maintaining success to designing it.
Eric and Tiffany Blasingame weren’t fixing something broken. Their practices were strong—trusted teams, well-run systems, and a culture rooted in shared leadership. But as Q1 closed, they saw more potential. It wasn’t about reinventing—it was about unlocking.
So, they acted: refined scheduling templates, new patient benchmarks, and daily attention to case acceptance. The result? A record-breaking April across all locations.
Dr. Simon Bernstein didn’t come to Moonshot looking to fix a broken practice—he came to build something future-proof. Already operating at top-tier performance, Simon wasn’t chasing more. He was chasing better. His goal: create a scalable, system-driven enterprise without burning out himself or his team.
“High performance is just the start. The real win is making it repeatable.”
I didn’t realize how much I needed this community until I stepped into it. I came in feeling isolated, even though things were going ‘fine.’ Now, I’m energized, focused, and building something extraordinary— with a team that’s aligned and a future that’s wide open.
By Geraldine and I focusing on what we could control and committing to strategic growth, we’ve transformed challenges into opportunities, achieving remarkable success.
