6th March 2024

The Newest Member of Agilio Software’s Dental Clinical Board is Lyn Paxman

Agilio Software, the UK’s leading provider of healthcare operations software, announces the appointment of Lyn Paxman to its Dental Clinical Board

Agilio Software is pleased to announce that Lyn Paxman has joined its Dental Clinical Board, adding a high level of expertise in dental leadership to the current panel.

With over 30 years’ experience as a leadership and team coach, over 10 years within dental acquisitions, and previously Partner in her own dental Practice, Lyn has demonstrated that the key to a company’s success is organisation-wide engagement with their culture and, by extension, strategy development.

As a Partner in her own dental practice, Lyns proven coaching method increased turnover by 250% in less than two years.  This was achieved through coaching the practice manager to evolve leadership skills and capability.  Through her consultancy, EvolveYou Dental, Lyn is now applying her proven approach to multiple practices, with growing dental group Todays Dental as Culture and Leadership Consultant. In addition, she works with several non-dental clients and is a Non-Executive Director for a CIC.

Lyn Paxman said: ‘Over the last 10-15 years there have been some huge shifts in the way we organise the business of dentistry; an increase in private, alternative models of delivery and growing dental groups for example. In addition, people are demanding more from their workplace – balance, progression, recognition. The way we lead in this environment is fundamental in terms of whether we flounder or thrive. I believe there is an opportunity to create a dynamic shift in leadership approach within dentistry, developing coaching and facilitation skills, which cultivate an environment of empowerment and accountability throughout the whole organisation. This in turn fosters creativity, a sense of value and ultimately a more purposeful working environment.

I’m thrilled that Agilio recognise the value of my contribution in paving the way for the dental leaders of tomorrow.’
