Dental professionals often struggle with maintaining focus amidst distractions and unclear direction, which hinders their ability to develop, lead and contribute to high-performing teams. Addressing these challenges, Samantha Jones has dedicated her career to empowering dental professionals to overcome obstacles and excel in their practices. Samantha Jones began her career in dentistry at the age of 16, cultivating her skills in and passion for communication and relationship-building over three decades. By her 20s, she transitioned into a dental practice manager role, focusing on administrative strategies to develop practices and teams. Sam founded her first company, offering support, knowledge, and strategies that contributed to her own success. Simultaneously, she served as the Chief Operations Officer for two dentists who wanted to scale. In just four short years, she played a pivotal role in building the operational infrastructure while her colleagues focused on dentistry, resulting in the remarkable growth of one practice to many practices. One of which was a “from scratch” start-up! This is where she developed administrative and clinical systems that are now utilized in hundreds of practices across the country. This experience provided invaluable insight into the challenges dental teams face today. Specializing in helping owners transform their solo practices into thriving multi-practice entities, Sam recognized that distractions and unclear direction were often the root causes of challenges.
Intrigued by the behaviors driving these issues, she obtained an Applied Neuroscience certification to gain a deeper understanding of brain functions and their influence on everyday interactions. The acquisition of this new knowledge compelled her to start a new company that would blend the realms of operations and human behavior. This fusion ultimately gave rise to the birth of Cre8wise Movement, her innovative and transformative company. Cre8Wise is dedicated to using evidence-based brain science to facilitate insights, direction, and progress in professionals’ lives and businesses. They do this through Coaching, Online Education, Saas that helps a practice go from chaos to organized, and an App that has community based resources and support with experts and peers.
Samantha has earned a reputation as an influencer and thought leader in business organization, intentional communication, dental business operations, business scalability, relationship building, team development, and empowering leaders. She is known as the “Maria Kondo of dentistry”. Furthermore, she is the CEO and founder of WOW Readiness Program, which offers career readiness resources and job placement for underserved women. Sam also serves as an expert advisor with Accelerate Dental and holds membership in the Dental Speaker Institute, Dental Speakers Bureau, and Dental Entrepreneur Women’s Network.
