“I attribute my success in my field to who I am, not what I do.”

HIRE DR. HISHAW TO SPEAK AT YOUR NEXT EVENT

Nothing gives Dr. Hishaw more pleasure than to know she has motivated and empowered someone to believe in themselves and make a change for the better. Public speaking has given her the platform to share her story and her tools of success from real life experiences as a mother, business owner, pediatric dentist, social entrepreneur, and mentor. As the old adage goes, people don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.

She attributes her success in her field to who she is, not what she does. It is her quest to make sure everyone recognizes and owns that for themselves. She has the natural ability to connect with her audiences; the student, dental professional, high-achieving woman, or dental school dean  in a way that is both uplifting and relatable.
