Jennifer Steadman

Jennifer Steadman, BSDH, DAADOM, lights up talking about workplace culture and team dynamics, yes, really! She’s worn just every hat in the dental office, except the dentist's!

From Assistant, to Hygienist, to Admin Team, to Office Manager and VP of Operations of a Mid-Sized DSO. That journey taught her something crucial, the best practices aren't built on perfect systems alone, they're built on people who feel valued, heard, and
empowered to do their best work.

As founder of Jen SOS, she partners with practices to build strong teams and navigate the culture shifts that come with growth and transition, whether that's new hires, mergers, acquisitions, or ownership changes. She also speaks on workplace efficiency, communication strategies, and the metrics that actually drive results, helping leaders cut through the noise and focus on what matters.

She co-hosts Back in 10, a dental leadership podcast where she and her co-host, Savanah Carlson, serve up real talk, honest truths, no fluff, and just the right amount of sass! They don't just talk leadership, they also dive into life, challenges, and the realities of balancing it all, creating space for authentic conversations that resonate with leaders at every stage.

Her role as Director of Operation at Inspired Hygiene has allowed her to bridge her clinical experience with her operations expertise, giving her a unique perspective on the opportunities and challenges practices face today.

Her philosophy is simple, when teams feel supported and valued, magic happens. The work gets easier, the culture gets stronger, and everyone — team, practice,
and patients, thrive together.
