Description

Christine Staten, DVM, MBA has been a veterinary practice owner for over 20 years, and in that time, has made lots of great decisions (and some she wouldn’t make again!) while growing her practice and her team. Dr. Christine joins Meredith to share her story and why she’s so passionate about helping other vets build veterinary practices that succeed so they can keep doing the work they love.

Key Topics:

  • Christine shares how she started on the path to becoming a vet practice owner
  • Christine gives practical advice for how to manage a team and utilize data and strategic team retreats to accelerate business growth
  • The value of community for practice owners to combat isolation and being overburdened by your responsibilities
  • How going back to school to get an MBA in her 50s further improved her veterinary practice
  • Why work life balance is impossible, and what you should aim for instead
  • Christine’s personal framework for managing stress, burnout, and day-to-day worries
