Tearing up the traditional rulebook, Andrea Ogden is inspiring dentists to craft careers that align with their passion, purpose – and personal wellbeing.
Andrea Ogden’s Instagram posts seek to stop dentists in their tracks and inspire them to realign their career aspirations. Her insights may challenge conventional thinking, yet her advice can be a wake-up call for those sleepwalking through their careers.
Andrea is a dentist with much to share. Rather than following the typical path to practice ownership, she now coaches dentists at all stages of their careers. A powerhouse of positivity, her goal is clear: to uplift and inspire her colleagues to find as much joy in dentistry as she does.
Instagram messages like ‘Who you surround yourself with matters. Your network doesn’t just shape your career; it impacts your wellbeing, productivity and even patient care’ and ‘Resilience isn’t about enduring stress – it’s about knowing how to navigate it and build a working life where your cortisol levels are under control’ are drawn from a deep well of personal experience.
She’s also driven by a desire to equip early-career dentists with the invaluable knowledge she lacked on qualifying. In a heartfelt letter to her former student self, she writes: ‘Appreciate the journey; soak it all in, as it goes by so fast.’ This moment of self-reflection also serves as sage advice for her target audience.
