Send us Fan Mail (https://www.buzzsprout.com/2011463/fa...) Feeling seen and valued at work is more than a nice-to-have, it’s essential for preventing burnout and fostering healthy, thriving veterinary teams. Appreciation goes beyond praise; it’s about recognizing contributions, supporting one another, and creating a culture where everyone feels they truly matter. In this episode, I speak with returning guest Jolene Watson, Canada’s Networking Expert®, Registered Veterinary Technologist, Executive Coach, and best-selling author. Drawing on her experience in veterinary medicine and leadership coaching, Jolene shares how appreciation affects burnout, highlights the often-overlooked emotional labour in veterinary workplaces, and explains workplace appreciation languages. You’ll learn practical strategies for showing appreciation as a colleague and as a leader, how to make appreciation an integral part of team culture, and simple ways to boost morale, communication, and retention in your practice. Whether you’re a team member or in a leadership role, this conversation offers actionable guidance to strengthen connection, engagement, and wellbeing across your workplace.
