Today we are talking to Dr. Eric Roman abour finding, onboarding and managing right associate(s) for your practice(s). By doing this, the doors open up for you and your practice to be more successful, make more money, and continue to grow your practice to its fullest!

Dr. Eric J. Roman has lived the true Dentist Entrepreneur journey, fulfilling roles as a dentist, clinical director, founder, partner, CEO, coach, and consultant. He has no shortage of entertaining (and sometimes frightening) stories to tell about the two companies he built and “exited”, the most recent being CarolinasDentist, which he successfully exited as CEO in 2019. After a few months of thoughtful time off to re-calibrate, Eric stepped back into the role of entrepreneur and visionary to establish a handful of companies in the dental industry and beyond. This included Traction for Dental (Dentistry’s only EOS Implementation focused solely on dental groups), joyFULL People (training for team culture and engagement), and a coaching company focused on dental executives. In the fall of 2021, these companies were acquired by the DEO to accelerate their shared vision to serve dental organizations. Eric is excited to continue sharing his energy and his experiences to help accelerate the transformation of our industry.

Elijah Desmond is back with us to talk about investing in your team, and learning their love language. Dental practices focus on investing in products and services, and often times the least invested in (which is more important in the entire practice) is in their people. People have different love languages and how they would like to be invested in, which is important to understand each person’s love language and how they are motivated. Culture is everything – invest in your people!

At just 15 years old, Elijah Desmon started his career as a motivational speaker for kids. His passion is changing lives by helping people realize the beautiful mind they were born with! He is a proud graduate of The Ohio State University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Dental Hygiene. Elijah has lived in Honolulu, Las Vegas and now resides in South Florida with his wife and 3 year-old daughter Chloe. In his free time, Elijah loves going on cruises!
