Every veterinary professional benefits from pausing now and then to ask a simple question: Does this still feel right? Often, it’s a moment to sit back and appreciate what you’ve built: a capable team, a supportive workplace, and a work rhythm that genuinely fits your life. Taking time to notice what’s working can deepen satisfaction and remind you why you chose this path in the first place.

Reflection isn’t only for when things go wrong; it’s also how you make sure your career continues to align with your values and goals as they evolve. Of course, not every pause for reflection is harmonious. Sometimes there’s niggling sense that something no longer fits quite as well as it used to.

The best practices lay practical foundations that help their teams stay steady, connected, and committed through the toughest weeks. They focus on belonging, pride, and recovery. Applying these principles together with consistent leadership can create an environment where people want to show up, support each other, and do work they’re proud of.
