Hi, I'm Ken Kilday

Dental Business & Leadership Coach

I help dentists and office managers build high-performing teams, streamline operations, and lead with confidence.

Running a dental practice means more than great clinical care – it’s about leading people, managing operations, and making confident decisions. If you’re feeling stuck, you’re not alone.

With 20+ years of executive experience and a proven coaching system, I partner with practices that are READY TO GROW without burning out in the process.
