Full of value content sponsors venue
I attended Scott’s course in Toronto, Canada, and everything about this course was full of value: the content, sponsors, unique Hockey Hall of Fame venue, high quality healthy food, and even the calibre of attendees who we had the pleasure of interacting with during the breaks. I hope Scott continues to reach out to Canada and perhaps tailor some of his solutions to the unique dental environment here.

Insight into multi-practice ownership, must have
From associate, 1 to X amount of practices you own, this course is an insight into multi-practice ownership. A must have for any dentist considering any form of ownership.
Instrumental CEO coaching, invaluable perspective
Dr. Leune’s CEO Coaching Program has been instrumental in my growth as both a professional and a leader. The support, guidance, and insight he provides—along with the extensive resources built into the program—have not only helped me strengthen my practice but also shaped a mindset that will serve me for years to come. The perspective, confidence, and practical strategies I’ve gained have been invaluable. I am truly grateful for the impact Dr. Leune has had on my journey and look forward to continuing to learn from the resources he provides.
Awesome presentation, should be mandatory

One of the best seminars, love energy and knowledge
On of The Best Seminar I have ever attended. I love his energy and knowledge!!! I would strongly recommend to any type of practice to attend
Valuable for new dentists but expensive for the format
As a new grad considering practice ownership, I found Scott's seminar incredibly eye-opening. Business school for dentists is basically what this is. He breaks down the numbers behind running a dental practice in a way that dental school never taught us.
The seminar I attended was well-organized, the slides were polished, and the Q&A sessions were helpful. Scott clearly knows his stuff and has real experience running practices.
My main criticism is the cost. At $3,000+ for a 2-day seminar, it's a significant investment for a new grad already buried in student debt. Some of the same information is available through podcasts, YouTube, and dental society study clubs for free or much less.
I also felt pressured to sign up for the more expensive coaching program on the spot with 'limited seats' urgency tactics.
Breakaway was better — the new stuff feels recycled
I attended Breakaway Seminars twice back in 2019 and 2021, and they were genuinely transformative for my practice. When Scott split from Breakaway, I was excited to see what he'd do independently.
Unfortunately, the Scott Leune Education seminars feel like a rehash of the old Breakaway content with a new coat of paint. The core strategies are the same — reduce overhead, build systems, let your team run the practice. These are good principles but I've already heard them.
For someone brand new to practice management education, this would probably be a 4/5. But for anyone who attended Breakaway, there's not much new here. The price point is also higher than what Breakaway charged for essentially the same material.
The split from Breakaway also raised some questions — there are now TWO companies (Breakaway Seminars and Scott Leune Education) teaching very similar content, which is confusing for the market.
Valuable experience leaving participants inspired
this seminar was a valuable experience that left me feeling inspired and better equipped in my field. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to expand

Second seminar wonderful valuable content
This is my second seminar with Scott and his team and it has been a wonderful experience all around! Most importantly, the information/ content is soooooo
Course realistic and applicable, better framework
the course felt realistic and applicable, not overly idealized or generic
Immediate results with innovative, sound, unsugared advice
I have been a client of Scott's for some time now and the results were immediate. Scott's advice is innovative but sound and most definitely not sugarcoated. The perspective, confidence, and practical strategies I've gained have been invaluable. I am truly grateful for the impact Dr. Leune has had on my journey and look forward to continuing to learn from the resources he provides.
Good content but felt like a sales funnel for more programs
Attended the Practice Management Mastery seminar in Dallas. Scott is an incredible speaker — very data-driven and clear. The content on reducing overhead and improving systems was genuinely helpful. I implemented several changes and saw a noticeable improvement in my numbers within 3 months.
However, the seminar felt like it was constantly upselling to the next level of coaching or the next seminar. By the end I felt like I'd only gotten the surface-level stuff and needed to pay thousands more for the 'real' strategies. The free webinars are basically infomercials for the paid seminars.
That said, the core content IS solid if you can extract the value without getting sucked into buying everything they offer.
CEO Coaching forced operator mindset with improved results
Scott's CEO Coaching forced me to start thinking like an operator instead of just a clinician. We increased collections, improved team performance, and I finally feel in control of the business. Scott's seminars bring clarity to the business side of dentistry. He cuts through the noise and focuses on what actually drives growth and profitability in a dental practice. The insights are practical and immediately applicable.

Helpful but not groundbreaking
Scott Leune Education offered reasonable value for their practice management seminars and CEO coaching coaching. I picked up some good habits around tracking KPIs and running better team meetings. The price felt a bit high for what was delivered though. I would say it accelerated my learning by maybe 6 months versus figuring it out on my own.
Transformed my team and my numbers
What sets Scott Leune Education apart is their focus on practice management seminars and CEO coaching implementation, not just theory. They helped my team understand WHY we needed to change, not just what to do. Morning huddles went from useless to productive. Case acceptance jumped from 62% to 78%. My office manager calls it the best thing we ever did.
Some good takeaways, some filler
Scott Leune Education covers practice management seminars and CEO coaching topics well at a high level. Got a few good nuggets I implemented right away. However, some sessions felt like they were padding the content. The networking with other dentists was probably the most valuable part for me.
