Feeling drained by your leadership role and responsibilities? Wondering if there might be a different way of doing things?

This course is an opportunity for you to take time out from the pressures of day-to-day life to consider how you want to be as a leader and, most importantly, the practical steps you can take to achieve this within your context.

In this small group environment, you will work closely with us and with fellow veterinary leaders on developing your understanding of the theory and practice of coaching as they apply to you and your team. It is our intention that you will find this time spent with us transformational – gaining deep insight into what drives and energises you, the conditions you need to thrive and how you can create space for your team to do the same.

Why do this course?
This course is protected time and space to develop your understanding and skills in the theory and practice of coaching. We are experts in the field of veterinary professional development, priding ourselves in taking a coaching approach to our own self-development and professional practice (we ‘walk the walk’). You will work closely with us and a small number of peers, undertaking real life coaching practice and receiving immediate, individualised developmental feedback. Our aim is to reignite your passion for leadership within your profession and as such your enjoyment and engagement in the learning you undertake with us is our number one priority.
