Faith, Family, and Leading with Empathy | Amanda Kossick, Owner of Mercy Dental
Note sull'episodio
Not every guest walks in with a Grammy or a headline. Some guests walk in with something closer to home. Something we can all relate to. Amanda Kossick is a sister in the faith, a wife, a mom of two, and the owner of Mercy Dental right here in Roswell, Georgia. And this conversation went places I did not expect.
We talked about faith, family, communication, and what it actually looks like to lead people well, whether that is a dental team, a household, or yourself. Amanda is one of the most self-aware, emotionally intelligent people I have sat down with, and the wisdom she dropped in this conversation is something every leader, parent, and communicator needs to hear.
In this episode we cover:
- How growing up Seventh-day Adventist shaped Amanda's work ethic, values, and faith journey
- Why simplifying your faith is actually harder than making it complex
- The communication lesson her dad taught her early that she still lives by today
- How she reads people all day to decide whether to be direct or soften her delivery
- The power of the pause and why sometimes 24 hours is the right response time
- What devil's advocate thinking looks like in practice and why it makes you a better leader
- How she learned to let go of control and turn things over to God
- Why parenting skills and managing a dental team are basically the same thing
- What she got from each of her parents that shaped the leader she is today
- How she turns boss lady off when she gets home and why the 30-minute drive matters
Amanda is the real deal. Genuine, grounded, and full of wisdom she did not even realize she had until we started talking. This one is for every leader who is also trying to be a present parent, a great spouse, and a person of faith all at the same time.
