Dr Rana's Story:
"I could regale you with all my accolades and achievements, which are indeed ample and elaborated on in the homepage video.
That said, it didn’t come without its costs. I pushed so hard that I became chronically ill. I didn’t understand myself well enough or have boundaries, to the extent my marriage broke down, and my relationships were never truly authentic as I could never fully allow myself to trust, nor the professional mask to drop.
While my practice and lecturing career excelled, inside I was an empty shell, living on adrenaline, doing everything myself, providing great quality treatment but still fearful of a potential complaint that could see my dream come crashing down. Everything felt so hard, and I wasn’t where I had hoped to be.
I wanted help and guidance and yet never found the right support from people who truly understood my pains, my challenges, and my time-poor lifestyle.
As for the fun and genuine happiness that wasn’t dependent on external circumstances? I’m not sure I even knew that existed.
The conclusion?
It took me years of my own hard work to reach a stage where I truly do bubble with joy daily, feel at peace, enjoy balance, am physically, emotionally, and mentally healthy, am a true leader of my life, have so much fun, and, of course, enjoy even more career success.
It’s what I call optimal performance: a balance of high productivity, genuine happiness, and sustainable success—free from burnout and regrets. At the centre of it all is a commitment to self-leadership and wellbeing.
All I learned and experienced throughout my career and life has been distilled into what we teach at NAIL-IT In Dentistry, using my award-winning NAIL-IT model.
Master Leadership and Wellbeing combined, and you will excel as an individual, a team, or an organisation."
