Safe To Soar: The Secret Sauce Of Highly Effective Teams
Running a veterinary hospital is friggin’ hard work, and Josh understands the struggle first-hand. He has been a proud member of the veterinary community since 1995. In 2009, he took the leap into practice management and ownership, and continued in those roles in two small-animal hospitals until 2018.
A lifetime optimist and overall “happy guy,” Josh was shocked to find himself feeling spent, alone, and crying over breakfast while his surprised wife looked on with disbelief. Recognizing he had burnt himself out, he made the difficult decision to step away and recapture his authentic self.
Since then he’s dedicated his professional trajectory to elevating veterinary
staff and teams so they can authentically flourish in their work. To that end he’s obtained certificates in areas such as Positive Psychology, Workplace Culture, and Building Effective Teams and is pursuing a Masters Degree in Applied Positive Psychology & Coaching Psychology. He co-founded
Flourish Veterinary Consulting LLC to bring the knowledge he’s obtained to life.
