Do You Need More Time?

Most veterinary leaders are not lacking effort - they are lacking protected, high-value thinking time. Clinical demands, small decisions, and constant reactivity crowd the calendar, while the work that truly drives a practice forward - hiring well, shaping culture, building systems, setting direction - keeps getting pushed aside. This session challenges the idea that you simply need to be more efficient and instead shows how poor time allocation quietly fuels stress, culture drift, and stalled growth. In this 60-minute webinar, Dr Dave Nicol shares a practical framework, drawn from years of coaching practice owners, to help you reclaim your time and refocus it on work that creates exponential return.
