Join Crystal Stokes, licensed psychotherapist, Harvard, Cornell, and CoActive trained organizational and high-performance leadership coach, and former vet technician, for actionable ways to improve the wellness of vet med professionals. The Vet Med Wellness and Leadership Podcast discuss leadership and wellness: how we, as individuals and teams, can apply evidence-based skills to help our authentic leadership style shine while effectively supporting others to perform at and feel their very best. Our topics range from the meta-level of overarching challenges in the realm of leadership down to the micro aspects of burnout, stress, and difficult client interactions in the veterinary profession. Our mission is to contribute to the evolving paradigm of leadership and culture where profit and performance are generated through the development of highly satisfied, motivated, and supported teams.
