Vet Mind Works Podcast
This podcast is for veterinary professionals who are looking for better ways of working and living. We discuss mind-sets, mind skills, behaviours and habits, which support sustainable performance and wellbeing in a challenging profession, and allow us to develop our own 'best veterinary self'. Podcast hosts Petra Agthe and Alison Collings (two vets with a long-standing interest in psychology and related disciplines) interview interesting guests, ranging from veterinary colleagues to psychologists, who share their knowledge, experiences and insights on specific subjects. Occasionally, we also schedule a 'rest and digest' episode in which we discuss and reflect on previous topics. This is a podcast for the whole veterinary community and we encourage listeners to provide feedback and enter the discussion! You can do this by sending us an email to vetmindworks@gmail.com. We are happily funding this podcast ourselves to keep it independent.

36. The Power of Connection - with Julie Rosser
"Who do I want to be in this moment?"
What would happen if we would ask ourselves this question more often?
You can find one possible answer to this and other questions in this episode. Host Petra Agthe is joined by Julie Rosser, veterinary leader and CEO of the European Board of Specialisation, in a conversation about personal and professional growth, and about hope, agency and transformation.
Julie offers many insights and ideas on the Why and How of deepening our connections with other people. This conversation covers the importance of meaningful relationships for collaboration, effective teamwork, job satisfaction and overall impact. Julie also explains how intentionality, self-awareness and curiosity can help us in relationship development, rather than relying solely on confidence.
