“Our program is your compass to success”
Dee is a seasoned Optometrist, Coach, Mentor, Presenter, Innovator, Demanding-overthinker and previous successful Optical Franchise owner. He is also the founder of Natural Eye Doctor™.
For over 20 years Dee has been guiding, coaching, and mentoring students, optometrists, and business owners. He helped them work on their mindset, brand, communication, and their strengths and opportunities, bringing them closer to their personal and career goals. He's also appeared in numerous newspaper articles, national campaigns, and internal company films. Operating in both the UK and Australia, collaborating with industry leaders in over 40 optical practices across 15+ companies in various demographics, Dee has gained a wealth of experiences, providing him with a unique perspective on career progression.
Dee has mentored over 20 optometrists and students in the last eight years, some of whom now own optical franchises in Australia. His passion for self-development grew exponentially as he ran his business, striving to become a better leader for his team.
He didn’t always have it right though, There were learnings along the way like any journey would have which allowed him to understand his own strengths and opportunites. He was hugely helped by his mentors and coaches, people who he had worked alongside and respected.
“to go further faster, model someone who has been there, speak to them,
learn from them and get them to coach you.”
There will always be hurdles, that’s normal. Its how you see and approach those challenges in your life that determine your outcomes. Having witnessed the transformative journey of numerous optometrists, he discerned common needs and crafted an Optometrist Mastery Program, unlocking pathways to earlier career success.
Testamonials
Dee was a supportive clinical supervisor. His ability to address patient concerns is a skill I aspire towards. Throughout my placement Dee not only highlighted areas of improvement but helped develop an action plan.
Rochelle - Baily Nelson Senior Optometrist.
Dee was my mentor when I started my career as a graduate optometrist. His kind, patient nature and wealth of knowledge allowed me to develop my clinical skills and confidence in a small amount of time. He was an excellent mentor and the time I spent with him has been invaluable.
Brandon - Oscar Wylee Knox Director.
I was fortunate enough to have a mentor who showed compassion and care during the time of a pandemic where a persons true character can be tested. Despite the challenges of a lockdown, Dee was able to navigate and balance both the business needs as well as the needs of his employees. I was able to learn different ways of communicating with patients and to develop good patient rapport from Dee.
Daisy – Locum Optometrist
I worked with Dee for 3 years and he was an exceptional leader/mentor during his time at Specsavers Dandenong. He was always meticulous when it came to patient care and our patients always loved him for his bubbly personality. He gives his best to whatever he does which positively impacts him personally and professionally.
