Owner Fatigue: Why It Happens, How It Feels, and What To Do About It

Running a dental practice isn’t just a business challenge, it’s an emotional marathon. In this webinar, Andy Acton (Director, Frank Taylor & Associates) and George Vernon (Performance Coach & Health Specialist) take a closer look into the concept of Owner Fatigue, exploring it from two vital perspectives: • The Emotion, with Andy uncovering the human experience behind running a practice, and • The Science, with George explaining the physiological and psychological mechanisms that drive fatigue and recovery. Together, they discuss the five key drivers that reveal when a practice owner may be suffering from Owner Fatigue: 1. Emotional Load – how emotional exhaustion leads to burnout and reduced performance 2. Decision Fatigue – the hidden toll of constant decision-making and its effect on clarity 3. Role Creep – when juggling too many hats sabotages delegation and progress 4. Lifestyle Misalignment – the personal cost of imbalance, isolation, and stress 5. Exit Readiness – why lack of clarity often keeps principals stuck in indecision If you’ve ever felt that running your practice is running you, this webinar will help you understand why and what you can do about it.
