From Cruise Control to Record-Breaking Growth: A Lafayette Practice Finds Its Spark

When you’re already doing well, how do you know it’s time for something more?

How do you break through that feeling of stagnation that can come even when your numbers are solid? How do you reignite your passion for growth, leadership, and purpose—and take your practice from “good” to energized, aligned, and unstoppable? That was the quiet question facing Dr. Eric Martin, a respected periodontist in Lafayette, California. His practice had always performed well, but beneath the surface, Eric felt like things had settled into a rhythm— predictable, even comfortable. He was in what he calls “cruise control.” But everything changed when his close friend, Dr. Thomas Kang of Seattle, encouraged him to join the Moonshot Program. What started as a referral between peers became a defining moment in Eric’s professional journey.

The Challenge: Breaking Through Stagnation

Eric wasn’t struggling. But he also wasn’t stretching. And with a new associate recently joining his team, he knew the time had come to either level up—or risk coasting indefinitely.

The Moonshot Transformation: Community, Clarity, and Courage

At the very first Moonshot workshop, Eric tapped into something powerful: a sense of shared ambition, honest reflection, and a community of specialists who truly understood what it meant to lead. But it wasn’t just emotional—it was also highly strategic. His practice was now equipped with the tools, resources, and mindset to grow with purpose.

He gained:

• A tight-knit community that challenged and supported him.
• Coaching and mentorship to clarify his vision and break old patterns.
• A strategic framework to define new goals and hold his team accountable.
• Execution tools that made the path forward simple, focused, and effective.

The Result: A February to Remember

When Eric returned from the workshop, something clicked. With renewed clarity and energy, he made key decisions, and in February, his practice had the biggest month in its history. That breakthrough came with a newly hired associate, showing that this wasn’t just about experience—it was about alignment, leadership, and action. Eric reengaged his team, reignited his referral vision, and made the bold decision to own the next chapter of his success. Visit www.theleadershipthread.com to learn more.
