Five Behaviors You Need to Lead Your Veterinary Team
As a business consultant and entrepreneur, I’m often asked to help identify individuals who can lead a project, manage a new location, or join a startup at a leadership level.

In addition to crashing economic markets, disrupting supplies and goods, and impeding access to basic services and entertainment, the coronavirus pandemic is forcing us to rethink how we work, what we eat, how and we interact socially.

Video: Your Weight Matters Conference 2017: The Secret Life of Pets and Human Obesity
I was honored to present a special keynote at the 2017 Obesity Action Coalition (OAC) Your Weight Matters Conference held in New Orleans, Louisiana USA.
