About us
At Unleashed, we're all about
keeping veterinary professionals
in the veterinary profession.
Animal shelters too, it's just a wordier tagline!
We use our authentic, no-BS approach to help animal shelter and veterinary teams build resilient teams, supported leaders, and sustainable cultures to retain staff, improve patient care, and create thriving businesses.
Dr Jessica Moore-Jones, BVMS, MBA, MSc
Founding Director, Coach, Consultant

Welcome
Dr Jessica Moore-Jones has been privileged to have spent her 20-year veterinary journey working in some of the most diverse aspects of our exciting, intense, demanding, evolving profession. Over those years, Dr Jess has held roles including Senior Advisor of Animal Management, Executive Manager of Animal Services, CEO, Veterinary Services Manager, General Manager, Manager of Wildlife Health, as well as small business owner – each experience shaping her expertise and passion for the people who work in the animal industry.
Dr Jess is as frustrated as everyone else by corporate buzzwords, academic theory that don't help in the real-world, or generic self-help advice you could get from the internet. She offers practical, real-life, authentic support, from someone who really gets it.

UNLEASHED Values
Authentic
Real-life, genuine people driven by values rather than processes. We balance professionalism with friendly, open, honest relationships. Kids, pets and novelty hair colours are part of who we are and therefore a part of our business.
Progressive
We lead the changes we want to see in the world. We are thought leaders and challengers of the status quo, gently (and sometimes not-so-gently) guiding our industry towards what could be rather than what is. There’s a swear jar for “how we’ve always done it”.
Optimistic
We believe that things can, will, and already are, improving. Our vision of the future is bright and we’re committed to seeing that happen, and playing our role in getting us there. We decide what could be and make it happen rather than trying to fit into existing boxes.
Meet people where they are
We know that people are people, and life can be complicated. We trust that people have good intentions, and endeavour to work with their capacities, skills and interests rather than placing our expectations onto others.
Put money where our mouth is
We believe in, invest in, and work in, the activities that can truly make a difference. We practice what we preach when it comes to gender equality, work/life balance, mindset, innovation and growth.
What's different about UNLEASHED?

UNLEASHED
Has been a middle and senior manager at multiple major veterinary and animal welfare organisations
Honest, realistic, no-BS content where we tackle the hard conversations and explore real life situations where it does and doesn't work
Assumes you're smart people who have Googled the basics and want actual help in moving beyond that and making it stick!
Knows what it is like to be called bossy for the exact same request as a male leader could make with no repercussions
Understands the challenges of balancing being an exceptional leader with the logistics of being a mum
Provides bespoke content, built in collaboration with you, to ensure you get what you need out of it
Believes whole heartedly (and has the science to back it up) that focussing on people first IS the answer to profit and productivity, not the other way around
Has taken on incredibly toxic and flailing businesses, and is sought after for this skill
A real person, having a conversation, invested in helping you succeed
Other Providers
Haven't had to make the hard calls, balance finances and people in a caring profession, performance manage or exit people, have staff blame you for things you can't control, or front the media for things that go wrong.
Academic or carefully curated content that sounds good on paper and has all the big words but doesn't translate well to real life in a busy and emotion-packed organisation
Repeats the same generic content we've been hearing for a decade now and is easily accessible to anyone who can use a search engine
Rarely have any idea what it's like to have to carefully manage your words and add "can I just..." or "sorry, but..." into all your emails
Often have wives at home taking care of the life admin so they can focus on their career
Follow a six-step generic how-to process that has no capacity for nuance, troubleshooting or where you are at
Add 'people stuff' as an afterthought to consultancies that focus on profit and productivity
Leadership experiences are often of buying and flipping businesses, with little care for how to maintain the team working there long term
Mostly pre-recorded, video content to maximise scale and profit
Testimonials
Why work with us?
Dr Jess Moore-Jones, BVMS, MBA, MSc, has been where you are, has been where your team are, and knows the way through.

Welcome
Unlike consultants who add culture and resilience as an afterthought to their profitability or process driven missions, Unleashed Coaching and Consulting is first and foremost about people. We believe whole-heartedly (and have the data to back it up) that focusing on people first IS the answer to profit and process, not the other way around.
Unleashed Coaching and Consulting is led by Dr Jessica Moore-Jones, who hasn't just been a vet for 15 years, but has led large and small vet clinics and animal shelters, designed and implemented restructures and rebuilt broken teams, and is head-hunted specifically for her experience in transforming the culture, resilience and emotional intelligence of veterinary and animal shelter teams.
At Unleashed we're not academics, though we have the qualifications in business, positive psychology, human behaviour, training, and of course veterinary surgery to provide the all-round support you need. Mostly, we're authentic, we get straight to the point, and we're committed to creating a thriving, sustainable profession without any of the political correctness that gets in the way.
