What’s the difference between IADLC and other coaching organizations?
IADLC is the only coaching organization dedicated exclusively to the dental profession. We understand the unique norms, values, and challenges within dentistry—something that generic coaching organizations can’t provide. Our community is built specifically for coaches who want to support dental professionals, and we offer tailored resources, masterminds, and networking opportunities that align with the realities of the dental world. If you want to grow as a coach while being part of a like-minded, dentistry-focused community, IADLC is the place for you.
Who is IADLC for? Do I need to be a certified life coach to join?
IADLC is for life coaches who are passionate about supporting the dental community and want to grow their skills, business, and network alongside like-minded professionals.
You do not need to be a certified life coach to join, but we recommend that members have a strong interest in coaching in dentistry. Whether you are already a seasoned coach, developing your coaching practice, or are curious about coaching as a side gig, IADLC provides the resources, collaboration, and support to help you thrive in this unique niche.
