Absolutely AMAZING and INSPIRING evening at our first Veterinay Practice Managers of the Central Coast meeting! We had a great talk from Dr. Heidi Hulon on Creating a Flourishing Culture, followed by such an engaging round table discussion! Practices were represented from Paso to Solvang! Over 100 miles!!! The turn out was more than we could have ever imagined. I was blown away by the response from the managers, the discussions and the connections that have already began to form as people stayed to talk to eachother until 9:30!!! I am so excited for the future of this group!
Thank you to Susan Holt with Elanco for helping sponsor and promote our meeting and Dr. Hulon for speaking! Thank you Michelle Wright, CVPM, SHRM and Natalie Wise for cofounding the group and all the work you put into making this happen with me!
If you missed this meeting, don’t worry! We will be meeting the last Wednesday of the month at 6:30. We hope to see you at the next one!

Burnout is an issue every industry faces, but it can hit especially hard when you’re passionate about the work being done. For many veterinarians, burnout is a result of empathetic exhaustion.

This talk will help re-ignite your purpose and break through those feelings of burnout to better manage why burnout happens and how we can control the feelings it brings.
