Topic #4: "I'm not in it for the money," exploring limiting beliefs and behaviors related to money
Description: What are your beliefs about money setting you up for failure? It is good to identify your personal relationship with money and how to manage it. Money is neither good or evil, it is a tool, but you may have unconscious ideals that will not serve you in your career as a veterinarian. While exploring and defining limiting beliefs we may touch upon behaviors you never knew existed. Then we will outline how to retrain your brain to help you reach your goals in financial stewardship

Topic #5: Job Seeking Tips for Veterinary Professionals
Description: Whether you are new to working within the veterinary community or not, there are a few tips and tricks that may help you land the ideal position at the best veterinary hospital for YOU. First, you may need to do some soul searching to determine your personal and professional values. Then consider what you are seeking in your career within the veterinary practice (i.e., what will make or break “the deal”). Finally, set expectations on what to identify for the interviewing process. Let's get candid and be honest about "red flags" in the hiring process. Your first job past college can make or break you. Let's set you up for success!
​
Speaker Fees: It is best to reach out to me to determine possible sponsorships and support. Options may exist to offset honorarium and travel expenses. In the past, industry partners have paid for all or part of of the programming. Let's work a deal! Let's get creative to make this happen.
