Want to lead better, live fully, and laugh more?
The NAIL IT Podcast brings the award-winning NAIL-IT system to life—hosted by Dr Rana Al-Falaki and Dr Bhavin Patel.
In each episode, we explore what optimal performance really means—through powerful conversations, practical strategies, and key takeaways from professionals in the dental industry and beyond. From those who’ve nailed it to those still on the journey, we uncover what it takes to thrive and turn yourself into your own regenerative battery source!
Real talk. Real leadership. Real results.
This is a must-listen episode if you’re leading a dental team (or trying to stay sane whilst doing it). Dr Rana Al-Falaki and Dr Bhavin Patel are joined by dental business consultant Lucie Simic (LCS Healthcare Consultancy) for an energising, practical conversation on mindset, leadership and culture – and how the stories we tell ourselves quietly shape our confidence, our performance, and even what we believe we’re “allowed” to do. From Lucie’s powerful quote “Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right” to her journey of breaking old beliefs through Hyrox training, you’ll leave feeling fired up to challenge your own limits. Lucie also shares real-world leadership gold for practice managers and principals: how to stop being the “island in the middle”, why boundaries and process protect your time and reduce burnout, and how empowering your team (instead of rescuing them) actually improves motivation, retention and growth. Expect laughs, honest reflections, and actionable takeaways you can use immediately plus a fresh reminder that the best leaders don’t carry everything… they create other leaders.Lucie Simic is a dental business consultant, educator and keynote speaker specialising in leadership, organisational culture and patient experience. With over 14 years’ experience in dentistry and a 10-year background in journalism,
Lucie brings a clear, evidence-informed and communication-led approach to leadership development.
