Leading On Empty is the only resilience AND leadership skills program for veterinary owners, managers, and team leaders.
You're still here. But only just...
You’re still showing up. Still holding it together. Still carrying the team.
But you’re over it—the constant fixing, the emotional load, the team drama, giving your everything and nobody even caring. The impossible expectations.
You don’t need another motivational quote.
You need someone to show you how to survive leadership in vet med—and maybe even enjoy it again.
Our Leading On Empty Program is here just for veterinary leaders grappling with the impossible expectations of leadership.
what is it?
Leading On Empty gives you:
-
Support that sees you, not just tells you to “be more resilient"
-
Resilience tools built for resilient leaders - and when to stop be so darn resilient!
-
Support that sees you, gets you, and is more than just here to listen
-
Boundaries that actually work in high-emotion teams
-
Word-for-word scripts to manage the most draining parts of leadership

-
Leaders managing teams while slowly burning out

Resilience myths and realities
Because it IS a muscle we can grow, but that's not an excuse to keep piling more on...
And why you're so bloody tired!
Leading without losing your mind
Strategic disengagement, role modelling wellbeing as an 'excuse' to practice self-care, and JUST SIMPLY DOING LESS!
Not only how to not feel as tempted to walk away, but how to know when you actually SHOULD walk away.
Boundaries that actually help!
Not just physical and time boundaries, but emotional barriers and scripts to avoid always being the emotional dumping ground.
Leadership with balance
Vulnerability with respect.
Open door with boundaries.
Psychological safety with accountability.
Resilience with rest.
IS IT IMPOSSIBLE???
Leadership for those sinking (or swimming)
Get dumped into a leadership role with no more training than half an hour with the P&L?
Did you know that leadership and management aren't the same thing?
Do you know where / how you should be spending your limited time and energy?
Difficult decisions, stuck in the middle and ethical challenges
Our teams like to create a 'bad guy' when they don't get what they want.
How do we navigate impossible expectations, multiples of shades of grey, never having a 'right and wrong' any more, and the constant conflict between patient outcomes, customer care, staff engagement and our own wellbeing.

Testimonials
Jess has been an incredible mentor. She has given me so much support from the very first day we met and has helped so much with all of the challenges that have come up in my first few years of practice.
She has this incredible ability to take my jumbled thought processes or worries and clarify them into something we can work through together. I am someone who particularly struggles with conflict, and always have. It has been so valuable to have someone who can push me when I need it and helped me reframe my way of dealing.
