The Places You (Could) Go

BY JAKE PUHL

As we put the finishing touches on this issue of DEO Magazine, schools across the country are hosting graduation ceremonies. It’s an exciting time for the students, both to celebrate their accomplishments and gaze out into their potential career journey ahead.

One gift that graduates often receive is Dr. Seuss’ classic, “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” There are lots of nuggets of wisdom packed into the poem, but reading through it recently, one part stood out:

“You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And you are the one who’ll decide where to go.”

“You’re on your own.” That statement sounds more daunting than encouraging, doesn’t it?

Already known as an industry where feelings of isolation and loneliness are common, dental actually doesn’t have to be that way. At the DEO we are extremely proud to be disrupting this narrative and contributing to an industry where inclusivity and a supportive network of peers are common. Plus, not only have we curated a community of dental leaders that rely on each other as a support system, we’ve taken it to the next level and made it our mission to ensure that the entire dental organization is thriving.

I’ve been looking forward to sharing this issue with you since last year when we mapped out content for 2023. This issue is a representation of what we’ve been working on for the last couple years and details the educational curriculum that serves as the backbone for our Immersion and Implementation programs. As the first dental operating system, the systems and framework are already making an impact. So much so, that we created a Slack channel dedicated to the comments and feedback we receive from customers that solidifies we are on the right track. This is not another program we are selling. It is the intellectual property that our team of dental professionals built together to support our members as they build their organizations.

Want to install your operating system faster and have a dedicated guide supporting you every step of the way? This program is designed for those wanting to make an investment to grow as efficiently and quickly as possible. This is possible by working 1:1 with one of our highly trained Implementer/ Coaches who lead you and your executive team through a customized journey to install the system. Read more about this game changing program on page 30.

There are plenty of other dental leaders willing to walk this journey with you. Using these tools and insights, we’re confident that whatever you decide, you’ll have a clearer picture of where your organization is headed.

Cheers!
