Big ideas, goal setting, and career development
Yes, your team has untapped potentials! When was the last time you sat down with your greatest assets and asked each of them what their professional focus can be? This is very different than your performance review, although the two can be discussed at the same time.
During the day, as duties are performed to a defined level of excellence, there are opportunities for learning, supporting and enhancing skill sets. The majority of the time, tasks are completed to the highest of standards. Be sure to catch your team when they are performing well and thank them for their efforts. (more…)
Allow the Creativity to Flow, Design and Develop your Career and/or Life’s Passion
Grab a pen and allow the writing opportunity
to etch your focus.

Clarity in our career or life’s passion may elude us simply because we are unable to give time and energy to the creation of our personal Mission/Vision/Values. You may be thinking, “That is so cold and business-like.” Possibly, however I have seen amazing things transpire and manifest when a person takes all those “airy-fairy” thoughts, writes them down (preferably with pen and paper, because of the magic that occurs between the stroke of a hand and pen to the brainwaves that are stimulated in your head deeply embedding the concepts in your brain) to word and then allow the process to create the deed.

Over the past decade I have seen, researched, and taken a serious interest in both turnover and careers. This is what I have discovered, in a nutshell; 1. veterinary hospitals are under managed, 2. low salaries need to be scrutinized along with supply and demand and 3. compassion fatigue is under-diagnosed and misunderstood.
Let’s take a deeper look at two of these three topics, under managed and low wages. Compassion fatigue requires its own Blog post (Part II, a bit of a cliff-hanger). (more…)
Consider taking a leap of faith. Consider taking a calculated risk and achieving your goal.
You, too, can wake up every morning excited to get to your job, to work with team members, clients and care for pets and animals. Simply ask yourself,” What do I desire and what brings me joy?”
Tough questions, I know. At times, I feel overwhelmed by projects and deadlines, however I wake up each morning raring to GO! Seriously, after 25 years working in the veterinary community, I am more “charged,” now, than ever before! (more…)
