1. 0:00Hi doctor, how you doing?
2. 0:01>> Hi,
3. 0:01>> can I know your name please?
4. 0:03>> My name is Akaya.
5. 0:04>> Okay. And where do you practice out of?
6. 0:06>> Uh I practice in Dubai. I am a part of a
7. 0:11chain of dental practice. Uh we have
8. 0:13three branches. Um and I'm also oral
9. 0:17surgeon.
10. 0:18>> Wow, that's amazing. So how many years
11. 0:20have you been practicing for it?
12. 0:21>> So uh for the past 14 years I've been
13. 0:24practicing dentistry, but I've been in
14. 0:26Dubai for the past three and a half
15. 0:27years.
16. 0:28>> Wow, that's amazing. So what are these
17. 0:30challenges that you have been facing in
18. 0:32your practice that made you join this
19. 0:33program?
20. 0:34>> So um it's basically uh I feel the
21. 0:38practice needed some structure and some
22. 0:41streamlining of how uh the so I feel
23. 0:45that that it needed a foundation. So we
24. 0:47expanded very very fast. We had three
25. 0:49branches in about a span of 2 years. So
26. 0:53I felt that if the foundation is not
27. 0:54right now then when we expand further
28. 0:57then you know it's just not going to be
29. 0:59easy for us to manage. So I was looking
30. 1:01for some structured course for the for
31. 1:03this you know
32. 1:04>> right but why now like what is this what
33. 1:07is it that motivated you to take this up
34. 1:08now khing has had so much experience in
35. 1:11the past
36. 1:12>> so we I'm experienced as oral surgeon
37. 1:14but not as a you know somebody who runs
38. 1:17a business
39. 1:18>> right so basically I was looking for
40. 1:21something which will help me with
41. 1:23bringing in structure to the whole uh
42. 1:27practice like you know if we open more
43. 1:29branches I need a foundation laid so
44. 1:32that we can just follow that template
45. 1:33for the next practice.
46. 1:35>> Fair. So what was this one moment in the
47. 1:38program that we can call an aha moment
48. 1:40for you uh across the entire program
49. 1:42till now? So the program, the part where
50. 1:45we were taught strategy to really sit
51. 1:48down and jot down our thoughts on the
52. 1:52SWAT analysis is my favorite in the
53. 1:55program where I actually sat down and I
54. 1:57wrote down that these are our strengths,
55. 1:59these are our weaknesses, this is the
56. 2:01opportunity which I can grab and these
57. 2:03are my threats and I could really find
58. 2:06myself sitting down and writing
59. 2:08everything and it got me a lot of
60. 2:10clarity in what I can do and that's what
61. 2:12I say was the aha moment for video of
62. 2:14the program.
63. 2:15>> That's amazing doctor. So uh when we
64. 2:17talk about the faculty or the entire
65. 2:19ISB's executive education, how's the
66. 2:21experience been? Do you think the cons
67. 2:23you are so experienced using the faculty
68. 2:25actually match that expertise that you
69. 2:28know they can deliver the program that
70. 2:29you actually found the value in?
71. 2:31>> Definitely definitely I would say that u
72. 2:35everybody's handpicked and uh it's too
73. 2:38relevant and to the point. So yes.
74. 2:41>> Okay. That's great. So doctor, what is
75. 2:43this one takeaway that you have taken
76. 2:45from the program and uh and you actually
77. 2:47want to implement in your practice uh
78. 2:50after the program?
79. 2:51>> I would say all of it. If I can do make
80. 2:52that happen, I think it'll be excellent.
81. 2:55>> Okay. So um there are so many dentists
82. 2:57who actually want to uh join a program
83. 3:00or a little hesitant towards that. What
84. 3:02is your one um uh advice to them that
85. 3:05you know would help them probably make a
86. 3:08better decision? So uh this is a program
87. 3:10which will definitely help you create a
88. 3:12baseline for yourself. Be it you are a
89. 3:15practitioner under an umbrella or you
90. 3:19are going to start out with a practice
91. 3:20or you already are running a practice. I
92. 3:22think it it is a program that fits to
93. 3:24all of these categories and uh it'll
94. 3:27help you just have a foundation and have
95. 3:29a vision for whatever you want to do
96. 3:31next in you know your professional life.
97. 3:35>> Okay, that's great. So doctor uh did you
98. 3:37find the program to be your money's
99. 3:38worth and your time's worth for sure?
100. 3:41>> I think so. I would say that. Yes.
101. 3:42>> So uh when we talk about the entire fees
102. 3:44that you paid in terms of knowledge
103. 3:46growth or the future opportunities, do
104. 3:49you think it was something that you got
105. 3:50the value back?
106. 3:51>> Yes. Yes. I I absolutely think so.
107. 3:54>> Okay. That's great. Doctor, thank you so
108. 3:56much for your time. That was very very
109. 3:57helpful.
110. 3:57>> Most welcome. Thank you.
111. 3:58>> Thank you doctor.
