Pleasure to share my story of a portfolio career and the factors which shaped it. Plus my 2p worth of thoughts about the profession. Thanks for the opportunity @vettimesuk @VBJMagazine

Solutions based thinking takes a shift of mindset. But when we focus on thinking of solutions, rather than being bogged down by the problem we immediately regain the sense of control and hope.

And I’ll be speaking on @BEVA_news #WorkLifeBalance on the Friday representing @WellVetWeekend too #veterinary #wellbeing

We SO need to learn this in our profession! Being aware of the stress and guilt our clients feel, which underpins their own negative communications, rather than our own ability as vets is key. #veterinary

Working through this questionnaire is a really good way to think about wellbeing in your team in a structured way. I’d encourage every practice to sit down as a team and work through it.
The SPVS and Mind Matters Awards are back for 2019 and they’re even bigger and better than before! We encourage all practices of every snap and size to enter. @vetmindmatters @WellVetWeekend @SPVSVMG_Events So get your team together, put the kettle on and get started! #vethappy

Loving @EmergeAdrian’s life hacks for juggling professional and parent. My favourite is learn how to use a slow cooker and the recipe of pork belly + BBQ sauce - slow cook for 6 hours for perfect pulled pork. I’m SO trying this one at home! #wellvetweekend2019 @WellVetWeekend

This is the top thing I’m working on in my life- being present and living in the moment so it gets my full attention, and therefore the best of me. #BePresent #presenteeism #veterinary

Great tip with learning comms styles on my recent account manager course. Adapting how we talk and even method of comms according to audience can have a huge impact on effectiveness.
Picard diplomacy tip: When communication is breaking down, try to speak the other person's language.
It’s generally the things that are wrong with the world that get in the news. There is so much more going right with the world that you never get to hear about. #mindfulness

I’m so much more confident admitting my gaps in knowledge. I’m increasingly open and honest about needing to seek help or advice with cases, with clients and- crucially- colleagues
Picard management tip: It's okay not to know things. Practice saying "I don't know." Go ahead. Say it.
Plus you can use code BRINGAFRIEND for 50% off a second ticket!

Picard management tip: Empower others to command when you are unfit. You never know when your mind will be taken over by an alien.
