No One Prepared You for This, Did They?

A Leadership Role You Never Planned For… But Here You Are.
Most veterinary leaders do not step into leadership because they planned to. It just happened.
Maybe you were the most experienced. Maybe you were the most capable. Maybe there was no one else willing to step up.
Maybe you became a leader because it was the natural next step, but no one really prepared you for what that would mean.
Maybe you wanted to be a practice owner, but no one told you that running a business and leading a team would feel this overwhelming.
Maybe you love the work you do, but managing people, making tough decisions, and carrying the responsibility feels heavier than you expected.
You are not alone. These are the private struggles that bring veterinary leaders to me for coaching.
Do any of these sound familiar?
✅ I want to feel more confident as a leader, without constantly second-guessing myself.
✅ I feel like my team does not fully respect me, and I do not know how to change it.
✅ I struggle with difficult conversations. I either avoid them or feel guilty afterward.
✅ I want to set boundaries without feeling like I am letting people down.
✅ I feel like I am carrying the weight of everything, and I am exhausted.
If you have nodded along, I see you. I hear this every day from leaders just like you.
Here's what I know:
❌ You do not just want confidence.
✅ You want to feel respected, certain, and in control, without fear of being judged or getting it wrong.
❌ You do not just want your team to listen.
✅ You want to be taken seriously and recognised as a leader, without having to fight for it.
❌ You do not just want better boundaries.
✅ You want to trust your team, take back control of your time, and stop carrying the emotional weight of everything.
✨ And all of this is absolutely possible!
