My Story
I actually get it. I have been there & know the challenges!
Constantly worrying about finding & keeping the right staff
Wishing I could enjoy my work & not be annoyed with mundane details
Living for vacations, and weekends
Figuring how to offer premiere services to my patients & a positive working environment for my team
Hi there, and welcome to my page. My name is Arousha Jahangiri. I am the founder of Dr.J Coaching, Business Owner & Entrepreneur, Washingtonian Top Dentist 2019-2021, Certified Professional Coach through the prestigious IPEC Institute, ELI Master Practitioner, COR.E Dynamics Certified, and Passionate Educator.
After graduating Magna Cum Laude in 2007 from dental school, I practiced dentistry for 15 years in the Washington D.C. area. And for almost a decade of those 15 years, I owned and ran a busy and successful dental practice downtown Washington D.C. I was voted Washingtonian Top Dentist 2019-2021 by my fellow peers and even had a bright smiley photo in the Washingtonian Magazine for a few years. I bought a couple of practices, combined them, grew my business 250% in just five years, and worked three days a week. I was earning an amazing income and living in total freedom. I had it all, or so it seemed, but it just wasn't enough. Something was missing in my career! I was drained and exhausted all the time. I sacrificed my body and mind trying to please and serve my patients, motivate, and lead my staff to care about something I felt disconnected to.
What could I do, though? What options were there? I had spent nine years of college and 15 years of clinical practice becoming a highly skilled dentist. But the thought of spending the next five, ten, fifteen years doing dentistry at the same pace and volume was terrifying to me.
And then, I took a small but essential step. I decided to work with a coach, which changed my life and view on everything! The life-changing work I did on myself resulted in me deciding to become a coach and find the best tools and systems to help other professionals with many of the struggles they face daily. Struggles that I know and understand so well.
Through hard work, I overcame my burnout, started my coaching journey, and after years of planning, I sold the practice that I had grown 250%, and here we are.
I haven't said goodbye to dentistry forever. If this journey taught me anything, it is that ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE! Perhaps dentistry will be back in my life in another shape or form. What I do know is that MY PASSION lies with coaching, and it is MY MISSION & GOAL to be of service to my fellow doctors & professionals for now.
Don't Settle For Good Enough!
