What an amazing couple of weeks! First, we attended the CDHA conference in beautiful Niagara, and just this past Friday, we were at the Spectrum conference in Toronto. I had the honour of presenting on Quality Assurance at Spectrum as the final speaker of the day—something I always love and appreciate. There’s something special about closing off an event and leaving everyone with a sense of completion and inspiration.
A big shout-out to Renata Albonese and Heather Kleinberg, two incredible RDHs, for stepping into the role of moderators at Spectrum. It was wonderful to see them take on this challenge, and they did a fantastic job! I have no doubt we’ll see them moderating again soon.
If you’re like me, these kinds of events leave you energized and inspired. It’s not just about the learning; it’s also the connections. Whether it's our smaller group sessions at rdhu or our Boutique Style Conferences, I find myself reflecting on how fortunate I am to be part of this profession. In dental hygiene, it can often feel like we’re working in silos. That’s what makes these events so special. They offer a unique opportunity to step out of our everyday routines, reconnect with old friends, colleagues, and even former classmates, and share experiences that inspire growth and camaraderie.
If you haven’t attended a live event lately, you’re truly missing out. These gatherings can reignite your passion and reshape your mindset in ways you might not expect. If you’re ever feeling stuck, unsure about your next step, or just need a boost, I encourage you to attend one of these events—you’ll leave with a new sense of direction and an extra bounce in your step.
And speaking of events, I’d love to see you at our Boutique Style Conference at the Dentsply Sirona Academy on Saturday, November 30th. We’re already at 80% capacity, so don’t wait!
