Building Confidence, One Step at a Time 

For Lisa Young, AADOM didn’t just change how she manages a practice—it changed her confidence. 

Introduced to AADOM nearly a decade ago, Lisa found immediate value in conferences and connecting with other office managers facing similar challenges. Those experiences gave her a strong foundation and exposed her to new ideas, resources, and a supportive community. 

But her biggest transformation was personal. Lisa shares that confidence didn’t come naturally—but through AADOM, she built meaningful friendships with professionals who encouraged and uplifted her. That support helped her step outside her comfort zone and grow as a leader. 

That growth led her to take a leap from private practice into a corporate role, continuing to invest in herself along the way. As a lifetime member, she still turns to AADOM for education, connection, and preparation for her next step, including pursuing her FAADOM. 

Her advice is simple: don’t wait. The time will never be perfect—but the confidence and growth you gain are worth it.
