VETgirl spotlights upward influence in veterinary practice leadership

VETgirl has published a new podcast episode, “How to Have More Influence on Upper Management in Your Practice,” as part of a four-part leadership series aimed at veterinary teams. While the source material available publicly is limited, the episode fits into VETgirl’s broader push into leadership and workplace development content, including its ongoing collaboration with VetLead, a veterinary leadership training company. VetLead’s current programming emphasizes shared language, team-wide accountability, coaching, and change management, rather than top-down management alone. (vetgirlontherun.com)

Why it matters: For veterinary professionals, this reflects a continuing shift in CE beyond clinical medicine and into workplace influence, communication, and retention. Leadership training is increasingly being framed as a practical skill for associates, technicians, and managers who may not control budgets or policy, but still need to move ideas upward. That matters in a profession where team engagement, role alignment, and communication are closely tied to workflow, burnout, and culture. AVMA has also highlighted management and leadership development as an important part of strengthening veterinary teams. (avma.org)

What to watch: Expect more veterinary CE providers to package leadership content for the full hospital team, especially as practices look for tools that improve retention, accountability, and change adoption. (vetlead.com)
