Most dental practices have talented doctors and dedicated teams, yet many struggle to reach their full potential. The challenge isn’t about clinical skills; it’s about leadership and the ability to unlock what’s already there. Therefore, effective transformation demands visionary leadership that connects individual potential and collective success.
Dennis Marvel knows this firsthand. As a keynote speaker, executive coach, and Managing Partner & Director of Fortune Practice Management, he’s spent over 15 years helping dental professionals discover what happens when they grow the individual first, then strengthen the team. His approach has transformed practices across the country by aligning personal goals with the success of practices.
Dennis brings something different to dental practice coaching: real Fortune 50 leadership experience. Before founding Inspirit Leadership Group, he spent over two decades in high-level executive roles, including Vice President at Dean Witter Reynolds, Principal of the New York Stock Exchange, and Senior Vice President at American Express. He also served as CEO of Tilt Inc., a Silicon Valley leadership development firm.
With this extensive experience, Dennis learned how to scale businesses, lead teams through change, and turn complex financial data into clear action plans. These skills translate perfectly to dental practice management, working well for both solo practitioners and multi-location dental groups. Dennis’s ability to distill sophisticated business concepts into simple and actionable insights for busy dental professionals makes him unique in the dental industry.
Dennis takes a counterintuitive approach, focusing on developing individuals first and then watching the team grow stronger. This means every person in your practice—from your front desk coordinator to your hygienists—needs to operate at their peak potential for true practice transformation.

As a nationally recognized keynote speaker, Dennis can talk to hundreds of people and make it feel like a personal conversation. Clients have said his presentations feel like sitting on his back porch talking through their biggest challenges.
His speaking topics focus on what matters most to dental practices: personal leadership development, creating systems that actually work, and building practices that thrive without burning out the people who run them. He has been featured at dental conferences and study clubs across the country, always with the same goal of helping dental professionals take action that yields real results.
