ABOUT THE SPEAKER:

Michael Lemmer founded ML6 Search + Talent Advisory in 2017 after a successful corporate career which saw him building and leading high-performance teams across a multitude of functions and industries. Throughout his experiences, one constant is his ability to identify and nurture key talent, taking teams and businesses to the next level.
In his most recent role, he led the Human Resources function for a private equity-backed healthcare services provider, and helped grow them from 30 to over 200 locations across Canada. Michael has a B. Comm from the University of South Africa specialising in Management, and spent the early part of his career in sales and business development.
While you may often hear him reminiscing about the weekends spent climbing, braaiing, and eating biltong in the mountains of South Africa, he has called Canada home since March 2008, and takes full advantage of all this beautiful country has to offer. His down time is spent running the local trails, camping with his family and caring for his chickens, bees and vegetable garden. Michael lives in rural Burlington with his wife, four active children, and two pups, Kensi and Khali.

Speaker: Michael Lemmer, Founder, ML6 Search + Talent Advisory

As scarcity increases, employment costs increase but continuously paying new employees more and more isn’t sustainable.

Topic: How Industry-Level Factors Impact Practice Value & What Dentists Can Do To Respond
The value of your practice is not determined by controllable internal factors alone. Practice value is also heavily impacted by external factors at the industry level that practice owners do not have control over. It is critical that owners understand these factors and how so they can respond strategically, minimizing the risks and maximizing the opportunities of industry trends and changes.
Join us on May 13th when we are joined by Timothy A. Brown, CEO & Broker of Record at ROI Corporation, who will dig deeper into the effects that external factors have on practice value! Register Now!

It is never to early to learn how to avoid the most common mistakes dentists make when preparing to sell their practices. Whether you intend to sell your practice in the next six months or in the next six years, avoiding these missteps is critical. There is not much point in doubling the value of your practice only to give it away with an avoidable mistake.
Creating value in your practice is step 1. RETAINING value in your practice so it remains when you choose to sell is step 2! Register now to learn how!

Topic: REBUILDING YOUR PRACTICE’S VALUE DESPITE COVID
Maximizing the value of your practice is not as simple as seeing as many patients as possible. When practice value is determined, many different factors are assessed to arrive at the end number. It is critical for practice owners and managers to understand how to create this solid economic framework within their organization and then embrace it to potentially double the value of their practice.
Are you set to use 2021 to rebuild and regain the value your practice may have lost through the pandemic? Register now to learn how!
