If you scroll through any veterinary chat group you won’t have to scroll for long before you see a conversation along the lines of: “My career as it is now isn’t really working for me, but I don’t know what my other options are. I feel… stuck.”

So how do you become unstuck?

Dr Jess Moore Jones is a bit obsessed with what keeps vets engaged and fulfilled, and she helps individuals and teams figure out how to create resilient and thriving cultures and careers through her business, ⁠Unleashed Coaching and Consulting⁠, and in this episode we unpack a few of the talks she presented at WVAC 2024:

• The choices we make: taking back the power as veterinary professionals to be in control of our own resilience and our own wellbeing.
• YOU ARE NOT STUCK: helping veterinarians discover that a meaningful, fulfilling career (and life) is possible.

Jess shares her thoughts on where the line is between being a good team member and having healthy boundaries, why being selfish in the short term can be generous in the long run, and we talk about the ‘four doors’ available to you with every challenging situation. We discuss Jess' first steps to becoming ‘unstuck’ from your career rut, and we ask the big question: are the new generations of vets ‘soft’, or just wise?!

Join Dr Jess on 28 November 2024 for her online ⁠Women in Veterinary Leadership Summit. ⁠
