VETgirl podcast focuses on influencing practice leadership

VETgirl has published a new free podcast episode, “How to Have More Influence on Upper Management in Your Practice,” as part of its leadership-focused collaboration with VetLead. The episode appears in a broader slate of management and culture content aimed at veterinary professionals, alongside topics such as accountability, hiring, coaching, and toxic culture. The framing suggests a practical focus: helping team members build influence upward inside the hospital, not just manage direct reports. (marketing.vetgirlontherun.com)

Why it matters: For veterinary professionals, the topic lands at a time when communication, coaching, and people leadership remain pressure points across practice settings. Recent veterinary leadership benchmarking has shown uneven confidence in areas such as coaching, mentoring, stress management, and workplace bullying response, while industry commentary continues to link role clarity, communication, autonomy, and recognition with lower burnout risk and stronger team function. For technicians, managers, and associate veterinarians trying to improve workflow or culture, “influencing up” is increasingly a core operational skill, not a soft extra. (vetmg.com)

What to watch: Expect continued demand for CE that focuses less on clinical skills alone and more on leadership, communication, retention, and culture inside veterinary practices. (marketing.vetgirlontherun.com)
