Take the time to look in the mirror. The only one you see is YOU.  That is where you need to focus. It is your choice to let others cloud the view you have of yourself. Others may use anger and guilt to manipulate you but it is up to you to be the victim or the victor. The control is within YOU.  

If your life is a car, you are the driver. Focusing on the windshield and the future is much more effective than focusing on the rearview mirror and looking back. We can learn from our past while we can set our direction for the future. You control the future based upon your vision, hopes, dreams, directions.

Perspective defines your narratives. What is influencing your decision making? Use your experiences and your perspective to allow YOU to define your future.

The phrase has been used so often it might be considered overused.  What is work life balance?  Is it a real term or a farce? Can you really get a scale and weigh out the minutes you dedicate to each and try to equilibrate it?  It is suggested that work life integration might be a better term.

Our panelists discuss their personal thoughts on what is really important in life and what is really important in work.  And how can we make sure to schedule time for ourselves in the face of 24/7/365 expectations from clients, friends, work, etc.?

Can you set boundaries and maintain them? Can you go off the grid and not feel guilty?  Can you go off the grid and not worry about what you are missing?  The challenge is to determine how to put yourself first.  And think about answering the question, ‘how do I want to live?’ 

Our first Unfiltered Discussion: There was a study done, that shows the part of the brain that is activated during extreme torture is the same part of the brain activated during change. What will veterinary medicine look like as we embrace change moving forward?

Listen in on a casual discussion about the importance of change management for the world of veterinary medicine. The work of veterinary medicine is often more gratifying than the experience of change: how do we embrace change in the veterinary industry to accelerate the profession, methods and strategies for continuing to grow the veterinary industry in the new post-pandemic reality.
