Desmond is also the founder of Smiles at Sea, a dental conference that combines continuing education with vacation experiences. This concept is becoming increasingly popular in the dental industry, allowing dental professionals to learn and network in a relaxed and fun environment.

3 Value Takeaways

  1. Everybody is vulnerable in their own authentic self. Everybody is accepted. Nobody’s judging you for being your authentic self so take pride in that. We encourage everybody to show up as they are. 
  2. There are so many companies that focus on growth, and the team members are an important part of growth. Building strong relationships and having a good work culture in your company are important to retain team members. 
  3. Find a mentor who has already done it and learn from their experiences, and take shortcuts so you don’t have to go in the blind, and not have to worry about failing.
