AI Researched Review Brief
Lolabees Career Coaching is a coaching practice for dentists who feel stuck, stressed, or burnt out, built around helping dentists decide what they want from their careers and then act on it. Dr. Laura Brenner coaches from experience: she practiced dentistry for about a decade before working with a career coach of her own and leaving clinical practice.
What makes the experience different:
- Work with Dr. Laura Brenner, a 2001 graduate of Baylor College of Dentistry who practiced privately in Denver for about ten years and is now a Certified Professional Coach.
- Begin with a complimentary 30 minute consultation by phone or Zoom, then complete the Energy Leadership Index assessment and review the results together in a debrief session.
- Choose between private one on one coaching and the Start Your Side Gig group course for dentists who want to build a business alongside or beyond clinical work.
- Build momentum over time, with weekly meetings across six months and achievable goals set at each session.
- Expect a coaching style that asks questions rather than prescribing answers, and that works on the beliefs and stress triggers that keep dentists stuck.
Best practical takeaways:
- Clarity on your values, strengths, and career priorities
- A clearer view of whether to stay in dentistry, change how you practice, or move on
- Recognizing the stress triggers and beliefs behind burnout
- Confidence making major professional decisions on your own terms
- An action plan with goals and accountability
- A starting point for exploring a side business or nonclinical career
Program distinction: Lolabees Career Coaching is not a practice management course or a list of nonclinical job options. Its value is a coach who has faced the same decision helping you find your own answer, with assessment, reflective questioning, goal setting, and steady accountability working together. Verified attendee feedback highlights a calm, empathetic coach who helped restore clarity during a stressful transition into practice ownership, guided decisions without imposing them, and was generous with resources and professional connections.
Best for: dentists at any career stage who are dealing with burnout, ownership stress, frequent job changes, or the question of whether to stay in dentistry, as well as dentists nearing retirement who want purpose afterward. It fits best if you are ready for reflective work and regular sessions rather than a quick fix.
What dentists said (1)
My biggest takeaway was how intentionally Laura took the time to understand who I truly am, the energy and strengths I naturally bring, and the type of approach that works best for me. Rather than telling me what decision to make, she helped me look beneath the stress and outside expectations to uncover what I genuinely wanted. Through thoughtful questions and reflection, she empowered me to formulate my own decisions with greater clarity, confidence, and alignment with my values.
I worked with Dr. Laura Brenner during a particularly difficult period in my career. I was adjusting to becoming a new practice owner while also managing several stressful events outside of dentistry. At the time, my thoughts felt scattered, my confidence was affected, and it was difficult to determine where to focus my energy.
Laura helped me regain clarity and confidence without simply telling me what to do. She asked thoughtful questions, helped me understand what mattered most to me, and empowered me to make my own decisions with greater confidence. Her calm, kind, and empathetic approach eased many of the fears and worries that were clouding my judgment.
One of the most valuable parts of working with Laura is that she understands the pressures of dentistry while also bringing deep experience in burnout, career transitions, and personal growth. That combination made her guidance feel highly relevant and practical. Her coaching approach is also consistent with Lolabees’ focus on identifying sources of stress, building confidence, and helping dental professionals take meaningful action.
Laura is supportive without being forceful. She helps you find your own answers rather than imposing a predetermined solution. She is also extremely generous with her resources and professional connections, reliable when support is needed, and approachable enough that conversations never feel overly formal or transactional. It was incredibly reassuring to have someone with her level of expertise, empathy, and firsthand understanding of dentistry in my corner.
