Dr. Jody Carrington is a powerhouse speaker and fearless champion for authentic human connection. She is highly sought after for her expertise, energy and genuine approach to helping people solve the most complex human-centred problems. This rapidly disconnected world is leaving so many of us overwhelmed, lonely, and burned out. Dr. Jody boldly believes that all humans have the capacity for good; however, so many of us these days, because of isolation and burnout, have lost access to that good.
Dr. Jody’s work often involves understanding just how we got to this disconnected place, what we need to put the pieces back together, and maybe most importantly, how we collectively do "the work" to find our way back home again when (not if) we lose our way. Her authentic, honest, and often hilarious approach never fails to inspire and motivate audiences.
Dr. Carrington is the founder and principal psychologist at Carrington & Company, she's written three best-selling books, speaks on hundreds of stages globally each year, and hosts the widely celebrated podcast UNLONELY. In this modern world where we look all the time, but we don't see, where we listen but we don't hear, Dr. Jody is clear on one thing: we were never meant to do any of this alone.
We are built for connection. Yet in workplaces shaped by high expectations, emotional demands, and constant change, it can be easy to lose sight of one another, and sometimes, of ourselves.
In dentistry, trust touches everything. It influences whether a team member feels safe enough to speak honestly, whether colleagues can navigate conflict and repair, and whether an anxious patient feels genuinely understood and cared for. Trust shapes not only how people work together, but how they communicate, care for one another, support their patients, and show up in the relationships that matter most.
In this engaging opening keynote, Dr. Jody Carrington will explore what it means to truly see one another in a profession that asks much of its people. With warmth, humor, and candor, she will illuminate how trust is built through presence, consistency, vulnerability, and the willingness to reconnect…especially when the work becomes difficult. Because long after the work is done, the trust we build is what remains.
