Values in Motion:
How Dr. Ana Amaya Grew 20% by Empowering
Her Team and Planning Her Next Chapter
Dr. Ana Amaya didn’t join Moonshot to chase numbers—she joined to build a practice that lasts. With decades of clinical experience and a team grounded in trust and shared values, Ana’s mission was always long-term: relationships over rush, culture over shortcuts.
But when Q1 brought unexpected staffing challenges and a turbulent start, that mission was tested. Despite it all, Ana finished the quarter 20% ahead of her daily production goal—proving that leadership anchored in purpose can still drive performance.
“I’m not perfect at implementation—but I’m consistent. And my team is starting to see the why behind all of it.”
The Shift: Leadership Through Empowerment
Facing illness, surgeries, and life transitions across her team, Ana leaned in rather than backing off. She focused on delegation, recommitted to study clubs with key referrers, and used Leadership Thread workshop tools to reinforce systems and support team alignment.
- Brought in her Strategic Growth Partner more intentionally
- Re-engaged with referring practices through small group events
- Shifted case volume toward larger, more complex treatments
- Continued leadership development despite a lighter clinical schedule
The quality of her cases grew—even as her clinical hours remained lean. Full-arch conversions and complex surgical treatments became the new norm.
What’s Next: A Practice Built to Last
Now, Ana is focused on building independence into her team. She’s preparing internal leaders to take on more responsibility, aligning her associate with the practice’s values, and leveraging the upcoming Moonshot workshops to develop her team from the inside out.
“I don’t want to micromanage. But I’m learning that strong leadership means being clear, being present, and following through.”
Ana isn’t just growing her numbers—she’s growing her practice’s future. With clarity, consistency, and a deep commitment to culture, she’s ensuring the vision she built will thrive long after she steps back.
