- Career Skills - On self-reflection: easy to dismiss but actually essential
It's easy to scoff at the idea of sitting down and pondering your life, your mistakes and your epic successes, but increasing evidence shows that those that reflect on their performance at work are more likely to go further. Do you want success and happiness in your working life? Of course you do. So have a listen and let me know what you think.
I mention in this episode about using the 'Wheel of Life' as part of self-reflection and you can find more info on this here

21 min - Career Skills - On networking, whether you love it or loathe it
Today we are talking about NETWORKING.
Love it or loathe it, building your network is key to building your career. For most of us, the word networking brings to mind excruciating post-work events with people you don't know standing around in ones and twos looking awkward. But fear not! This episode will have plenty of tips and advice to help you feel more confident in approaching others that can help you, and how to build strong rapport with those you meet.
If you've got any networking stories (good/bad/ugly) send them over to me on Instagram and we'll share them!

21 min - Kerrie Hedley on starting in business and women in leadership
My guest today is a women who embodies all the qualities that Veterinary Woman loves to share with others.
Kerrie Hedley is now the chief operating officer of XL Vets, reaching executive level after only 4 years at the company. Kerrie graduated from the RVC in 2011 and started in equine practice in the North East. As you'll hear, she developed a love of business quite early and has since completed both a certificate in Veterinary Business Management and an MBA during her career so far. Her MBA dissertation was on women in veterinary leadership, and we talk quite a lot about this later in the episode, particularly the facilitators and barriers to women progressing in the profession.
It was such a joy to talk to Kerrie - she is very humble about her progress but the reality she is that she has a big job and she is now using her position to lift up others women in the profession, which is really what it's all about.
