Helping Veterinary Professionals to Evolve, Align and Design their Lives and Careers with Jenny Guyat

Are you in the field of veterinary practice and you’ve been feeling like the life that you’re living isn’t actually the life that you want to live? Do you find yourself thinking and making decisions that are solely based on what your profession needs you to be? Do you fear failure, change, and the uncertainties these things are with?

Since most of us have chosen career paths in our young adult phases, we usually suffer from identity takeover as we age in the profession that we’ve chosen. It confuses us; it makes us doubt; it gives us a hard time thinking whether we can still live the life we’ve always dreamt about.

Key Takeaways:

“The biggest problem is the vet identity takeover. Most of us chose our profession when we were young adults at least – kind of before you even really find your own identity, and because this is a big vocational role, it can just takeover a little bit and we start living and making decisions based on what the profession needs us to be.” – Jenny Guyat

“You have to redefine failure. It is that growth mindset perspective that kind of fixes mistakes if you like.” – Jenny Guyat

“Don’t wait. Don’t just sit there and wait for this to get better, because it won’t. If you’re feeling out of alignment, get some help and support. There are lots of us – coaches in the veterinary space – who understand the unique challenges that we have as vets.” – Jenny Guyat

“A good coach or mentor should never be trying to push you into work with them. It should be a natural kind of process where both of you go, ‘we need to work together’. That’s the sole feeling that you want.” – Jenny Guyat

“If you don’t know where to start, start with what you don’t want and then flip that to start and get an idea.” – Jenny Guyat
