About “Coach Connie ” Valente

My journey in dentistry began at the age of sixteen as a dental assisitant and after graduating from dental hygiene school, and being licensed in several states, I went on to work in Switzerland and Italy for over 20 years. Throughout my 40+ year career, I’ve held diverse roles—clinical hygienist, periodontal therapy specialist, dental office manager, dental corporate sales manager, and dental hygiene consultant—each experience deepening my understanding of what drives both patient outcomes and team performance. As a successful business owner for over 23 years, I’ve learned firsthand how leadership, communication, and intentional systems designed can transform not only a business but the people within it. This path inspired me to become a Certified Life and Health Coach, expanding my mission to help others thrive both professionally and personally.
