Where do we start, Mike has helped our dental practice to a whole new level and maximise the potential of our business. Most importantly though, he has given us our lives back! He’s helped us no end to put a management team in, identify our aims for a personal and professional development, and create and define a brand/ethos/culture that we are proud of. He’s held our hand through a building expansion. Talked us through sourcing money for said project. Provided us with a wealth of first hand experience. Been a shoulder to cry on, a cheerleader and also put us right when we’ve got it wrong! With Mike’s coaching we’ve gone from a two surgery clinic to five surgeries, which is already at 70% capacity after just 6 months!

Nobody teaches you how to run a dental practice, being an associate you dont learn any of the background work that goes on day to day. We got Mike involved, because he has been there, done that and absolutely smashed it! It’s so important to chose someone that inspires you. That’s why we chose Mike.

Working with Mike has been life changing for us. We’ve transformed our traditional practice into something we feel is special and has set up the future of our family business long into the future. With Mike’s leadership experience in the military, the fact he owns practices himself and has exited successfully in past, we can’t be happier with the service.

I worked closely with Mike during my 6 years at the Exeter Dental Centre, where as Owner and Director of the practice he transformed not just the business, but the standards of clinical care and customer service the patients expect from a private dental practice. Looking for continuous improvement, Mike was willing to move beyond the traditional approach to running a practice, embracing and applying learning from other industries. In my opinion, Mike’s biggest success was as a leader. His ability to communicate his vision meant that the staff shared in the successes, resulting in high levels of commitment and motivation.

With Michael's help & advice, I was able to really clarify my vision & values for the business, and drive forward with greater enthusiasm & more confidence in my leadership skills. Michael is a clear communicator with excellent interpersonal skills...

Moving forward 18 months, I was able to acquire a second practice. With all the systems in place via the consulting, the transition was an easy one and Michael was always on hand to offer help & advice when needed.

When I think of authentic leadership, I think of Michael Hesketh. I worked with Michael on several consultancy projects in graduate school. I can honestly say that I am a stronger, more effective leader as a result of his influence.

Michael is a great communicator, a charismatic consultant, and a brilliant thought leader. He is genuine, curious, dependable, and smart. Mike instinctively inspires excellence in others because he works hard, stays positive, and he always delivers. Strategic, agile, and efficient at solving complex problems, Michael is a consummate business leader, an experienced healthcare executive, and an excellent human being. He will be an invaluable asset to your team.

Mike will be honest about where your business practices can improve, & while at times this induced a lot of self reflection it was worthwhile & beneficial.
The help that we received from Mike has been invaluable. A recent valuation demonstrated that the practice had tripled in value, but more pertinent for Paul and I will be the ability to reduce our weekly working hours. Paul has already been able to reduce his clinical hours.

I worked with Mike on a number of occasions and what is clear is that Mike is a focused, empathetic and very capable leader.  Mike has the ability to understand peoples strengths and motivations and work with them to get the best from them.  This is coupled with superb communication skills and clarity of thought which mean that objectives are met quickly and successfully.   Mike has also offered me insight and support in my own career path which has always been constructive and motivating.
