Crown Council Mentor of the Month

Dr. Tom Hughes ”Mentors & Masters”

Meet Dr. Tom Hughes.  Tom was one of the original members of the Crown Council and he has spent the last 3 years creating what we believe to be one of the most influential mentorship video series available to dentists https://www.mentorsandmasters.com. 
 
Steve recently interviewed Tom to learn how and why he poured so much of his energy into producing over 50 ten-minute videos aimed at mentoring other dental professionals.  
 
"After practicing dentistry for 46 years, building a successful practice in a large city and again in a small town, I decided on the day that I retired to make my experiences known to anyone that was willing to listen and learn from them."

Dr. Eric Goodman ”True To Form”

“Back surgery is your only option…"
This statement inspired Dr. Eric Goodman to overcome a seriously bad back. Severe, years long debilitating lower back pain had been hanging over Dr. Goodman’s upcoming Chiropractic career. A year before graduation his pain hit and held its climax for several months. This was a maddening experience.
After dedicating years of his life and all of his money to learn how the body worked, he was well-educated, yet stuck in daily pain with a diagnosis of severe Degenerative Joint Disease at the spine. Sympathetic doctors told him the only way to possibly relieve his pain was to undergo a painful back surgery: legitimate fusion of his lowest spine.
But Dr. Goodman said NO to surgery – one of the best decisions he had ever made.
Foundation Training’s birth was due to his belief that corrective movement could be the answer to his pain and give him back his mobility, health, and life.
It’s been over a decade since that decision and in that time, tens of thousands of people have found similar pain relief and healing through Foundation Training. Dr. Goodman and the Foundation Training team stand confidently behind this work as our best available answer to our pain and yours.

Dr. McKinley’s daughter Brittany joined the practice in the summer of 2011, upon her completion of her dental degree from The University of Detroit, School of Dentistry.

He is a member of the American Dental Association, the Michigan Dental Association, and the Macomb County Dental Society. He has also served as member of the Michigan Dental Association Peer Review Committee.
This year, Dr. McKinley continued his 12 year tradition of teaching a class to a group of wonderful juniors and seniors at Lutheran High North called Business Character Values. Several of his staff members join him in teaching this class by mentoring a student.
Born in Detroit, Ray is one of 12 children born to Dr. Otis and Phyllis McKinley, of Fraser. Ray, along with all of his brothers, followed in the footsteps of his father and became a dentist. Dr. McKinley’s daughter, Brittany, graduated from the University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry in 2011 and is now continuing the family tradition into the 3rd generation!

Ray continues to stay involved in growing and developing his community. Ray and his wife Lynn have six children, and five grandchildren.
Ray has written the book, "Ride the Elephant". Ride the Elephant calls out the elephant in the room that holds you back, that has been hiding in plain sight, then challenges you with questions and answers you have never considered before.
You will dive very deep, if you allow yourself to go that far, into why we act, think and behave as we do. You will likely see that today’s normal daily reactions are really creating a waterfall event with those around you.
The interplay of so many feelings and reactions like hate, blame, excuses, accountability, judgment, fear, and pride are examined. You will begin to consider how this juxtaposition of emotions are creating havoc in your life – like “the elephant in the room.”

Jon Acuff and "Soundtracks: The Surprising Solution to Overthinking"

The Crown Council was first introduced to Jon Acuff by Crown Council member Dr. Dennis Wells who takes care of Jon’s oral health.  At the Annual Event in Nashville in 2015 where he presented to us about his book “Do Over.” 
Then 3 years later he returned to the Annual Event stage to share his presentation about his next book “Finish: Give Yourself the Gift of Done”. That is a rare feet - getting on the stage of the Annual Event twice put you into a pretty elite club.  
Now, we are on to Jon’s new book “Soundtracks” The Surprising Solution to Overthinking”  It’s already a New York Times Bestseller (after two weeks) which is an amazing accomplishment considering Jon hasn’t been doing live events because of the Corona Virus.
Jon is also a New York Time best selling author of 6 other books and if you follow Jon on Social Media you will find an inspiring blend of humor, honesty and hope.  And he is killing it in the social world with 300,000 Twitter followers, 187,000 Facebook followers and 125,000 Instagram Followers. 
Jon loves Snowbird and skiing which connects us in a very special way. Steve and I grew up shredding on the hills of Snowbird in Utah. I also learned listening to the audio version of Soundtracks that he wears his Snowbird t-shirt almost daily. Kudos. 
 
But...and this the end of the introduction as an FYI at the last Annual Event in Nashville (2020) we hosted and planned the “Gift of Music” benefit concert at the historic Ryman Auditorium. This is a concert that host in conjunction with our Annual Event whenever we go to Nashville and he not only shared the stage with Dolly Parton but introduced and opened for her - dream come true status unlocked!  
Jon has his own podcast called “All It Takes Is a Goal” that teaches many of the principles we will talk about today, but one thing that will make today special is our own special application of the “Soundtrack” principles to a dental office.  We are hoping to help you make sure your dental practice’s culture, which is a collection of agreed upon soundtracks, is setting you up for success.

Greg & Steve Anderson "How Did The Crown Council Begin?"

In 1996 a group of forward-looking dentists were searching for a group where like-minded dentists seeking continual improvement could come together. Their goal was to raise the overall standards of dentistry together by creating a culture of success personally, professionally and in their respective communities. Those dentists with the help of Steve and Greg Anderson where the beginning of the Crown Council community.The Crown Council, more than two decades, later has grown to a community of over 1,100 dental professional. Our mission is to provide an organization where dental teams can come to learn, share, grow, serve and profit by creating a successful practice culture. This is a community of “like-minded” dental teams who are continually seeking to raise the standards of dentistry and who look out for each other. This is not a passive experience. There is an expectation that you will bring your very best to the community and share it.
