Riding Life's Waves for Better Careers

The current talent crisis has placed practices in peril due to the lack of qualified staff to meet demand. Burn out is one of the issues highlighted as an underlying cause of this shortage. In this session, we will explore the two high risk periods many veterinary professionals report career burnout.

 

The first 12 months post graduation and the period roughly five year after. In this session we explore the causes of burnout in each situation and explore a goal setting framework which can be used to stay focussed, get clear on purpose and create self esteem building moments for happier careers. In doing so, catch and ride a career wave.
