Follow Your Dreams

On day one, Diljeet Taylor, head coach of Women's Cross Country at BYU, compelled attendees to take charge of their circumstances and create positive change around them, something she’s lived by throughout her life.

Despite being told to follow the traditional path set by her Indian family, Diljeet pursued her passion for running, defying the odds to become successful.

During her empowering keynote address, she encouraged individuals to be the catalyst for change in their environment, much like how a coffee bean transforms the boiling water around it.

Mundanity of Excellence

Consistent competence brings eventual excellence. That’s the motto that U.S. Olympian Clayton Young lives by and hopes resonated with the audience.

When he took the stage, Clayton brought attendees through his journey in becoming a top 10 marathon runner at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Clayton shared that greatness isn’t just about big, flashy achievements. Instead, he believes it often comes from performing repetitive, sometimes mundane tasks over and over again.

His advice for the audience? Consider how their routine tasks in their practice, when done consistently, can lead to excellence in their careers.

Additionally, there was plenty of one-on-one support, giving everyone personalized training to really dive into how to maximize the benefits of Dental Intelligence. DI experts made sure users walked away feeling confident and ready to put what they learned into action.

4. Together We Can Build a Great Industry

At the first in-person Customer Advisory Board meeting, attendees and the DI product team came together to share their feedback and gain valuable insights. It was a unique opportunity to collaborate and swap ideas on the future of DI as a community.
