Burnout & Career Direction
Are you considering leaving veterinary medicine because the stress is overwhelming?
Larry understands this completely
You spent years becoming a veterinarian because you wanted to help animals, but somewhere along the way, the job became more about business pressures, difficult clients, and administrative headaches than actual veterinary medicine.
Here's how Larry approaches this with you:
Larry listens without judgment to understand what’s really driving your frustration. Is it the business side of practice? Difficult team dynamics? Client relationships? The feeling that you’re not making the difference you hoped to make?
Then Larry helps you explore your options. Sometimes the answer is finding ways to rediscover the joy in your current role. Sometimes it’s about making strategic changes to your practice situation. Sometimes it’s about exploring different paths within veterinary medicine.
You’ll work together to identify what would need to change for you to love veterinary medicine again, and create a realistic plan to make those changes happen.
Most importantly
Larry helps you make decisions from a place of clarity and possibility, not just frustration and burnout.
Because veterinary medicine needs passionate, skilled professionals – and you deserve to love what you do.
HOW DOES THIS WORK?
Larry starts every relationship with a conversation to understand your specific challenges. From there, he’ll recommend the right strategy that fits your situation and goals.
